Like Doctor Who the monsters were "usually" goofy looking. The special effects were often very obvious and glitchy. However again like Dr Who the stories were fantastic and still hold up well.

Whats the name of episode with a rock band?? Thats a good one also😉😁📈

"Fitting punishment"!!! The most creepy episode ever!!! 😬😬a must

I LOVE "Gramma"!!!! And it's never mentioned by Anyone, certainly not in a top episodes list. The original short story in "Night Shift" is creeeeppyy - one of the few stories that actually freaks me out (the short story "1408" is another). I'm so glad to see it on your list. Though I agree about the narration. Sometimes, it's just painful😆😆...

Gramma should have been a Tales from the Darkside episode.

The tunnel was actually named the the hole

Interesting list. I'd have CORPUS EARTHLING as the creepiest episode. It's nice to see THE BELLERO SHIELD included, a longtime favorite...

Demon with the glass hand is totally the best show in a real good series. The Inheritors is another great one with a great ending. You made real good choices.

In the 50s and into the 60s there was a battle for viewers between TV and the cinema. There were a number of TV shows about people finding themselves living a lie for a movie, and a number of movies about the dangers of TV; 'The Twonky' is the one I recall. The opening 'The Outer Limits' episode is about a radio ham who discovers a way to resolve a radio signal in three dimensions inside a box in his lab ( TV ), and up pops the alien, who's existence threatens us all. Quite the opposite of the message usually on TV; perhaps it was originally a movie script? I mean most of the directors on TOL' also made movies Byron Haskin, for example.

I know I said ''If you have MAX'' in the video, but please, DO NOT WATCH SCAVENGERS REIGN ON MAX! It's since moved to NETFLIX, so for the love of animated sci-fi, please watch it there! Scavengers Reign can only get the second season it so richly deserves if we make it a hit on Netflix.

Id love more horror stuff man, youre awesome!

I saw Nightmare at the age of 10, and never recovered from "They took out his heart!"

Please don't make me collect more 'Tales of the Crypt'!!! Such good memories!

"A Message from Charity" is a beautiful love story; the only flaw I can find in it is Charity's very 1980s hair, which a Puritan bonnet can't disguise. I've always had a preference for the more poignant Twilight Zone episodes over the more disturbing and cynical ones (hence my fondness for the original series' "Walking Distance," "Changing of the Guard," and "The Trade-Ins"), so I'm glad to see the recognition for both "Charity" and "Paladin of the Lost Hour."

I can't remember if it was a Tales From The Darkside episode or the Outer Limits remake, but I always remember this one episode about a man who sleeps with lots of women who was cursed to be an immortal black cat when he slept with a wizard's wife. He takes up with a virginal woman who reads lots of romance novels and at first she thinks he's going to be her One True Love, until he starts sleeping with her pretty neighbor and he laughs at her for thinking he could love anyone. So she drugs his drink and when he wakes up in cat form the next morning he's locked in a carrier and is at the vet to get neutered.

The mannequin of horror was stolen by part of the anthology film Asylum ( an Amicus flm from the early ,17's )

Songs used: Star Trek First Contact Main Title - Jerry Goldsmith Forever Lost - Myth & Roid and Kevin Penkin The Raven - Jonathan Christenson It's The End Of The World As We Know It(And I Feel Fine) - R.E.M. Sa Sa Samurai - Joanne Higginbottom and Tyler Bates

Its never on anyone's top list, but Don't Open till Doomsday gave me nightmares for decades. I have enjoyed every episode more than once.

Finally a top 10 list with the amazing Demon with a Glass Hand, I couldn't find any other top 10 original OL YT that had this one , wtg!

Yellow was filmed for a spin off called Two Fisted Tales but that show never aired so it was placed into Tales From The Crypt. That’s why it wasn’t horror.

I'm sure it has already been said, but the episode's name is 'Carrion Death' not 'Carrying Death', not that it matters that much, but I love the episode a lot I thought I'd just state it.

One of the actresses in the first episode you mentioned plays Elvira.

Music used: The Star Wars Recap Song - The Warp Zone www.youtube.com/@TheWarpZone Scary Monsters(And super creeps) - David Bowie She Blinded Me With Science - Tomas Dolby Superman The Animated Series Opening Theme - Shirley Walker Mr. Roboto - Styx

Great list 🎉!

My favorite was "Fun and Games" the aliens in that show gave me nightmares after watching as a child. I also liked the episodes "Soldier" and "Nightmare".

This was much better than that later 90s revival series.

You can see the duct tape holding the robot together.

The one episode of the Outer Limits that I’ve watched multiple times and never get tired of is “The Duplicate Man”. The music is amazing and by far the best soundtrack of all the episodes. Also, it’s a nod to “Blade Runner “

I was totally messed up as a kid by the episode "Curse of the Casavins". The sexual violence in that was freaky and scary and probably made me insane in some way LOL. my parents worked nights and so I saw all kinds of TV alone as a child I probably shouldn't have !

because the boy in "Gramma" is Bastian Bux, I imagine that somehow then the Necronomicon is also the Never-ending Story. LOL

The Inheritors 2 parter is my all time favorite.

Levitation always stuck with me, perhaps the most Twilight Zone like episode of the show. A case of the Stubborns is one of my favorites overall.

Tales from the Darkside is EXTREMELY well-known

my favorite episode was the borderland

My T-10 (in no particular order): 1-The Galaxy Being 2-The Bellero Sheild 3-Don't open til Doomsday 4-Behold Eck! 5-The Zanti Misfits 6-A Feasibility Study 7-Nightmare 8-I Robot 9-Counterweight 10-The 6th Finger. T-10 Honorable Mentions (enjoyed these as much as the T-10 really 🤭) 1-Production and decay of strange particles 2-O.B.I.T. 3-Invisible Enemy 4-Keeper of the Purple Twilight 5-The Guests 6-The Special One 7-Hundred Days of the Dragon 8-Cry of Silence 9-Soldier 10-The Premonition You can't really go wrong with ANY episode! Enjoy your favorites! ☺️👍

This is a really interesting list. I haven't seen all of the 80's ones, so you gave me some ones to check out. Thanks!

Next to the Twilight Zone, Tales From The Darkside had the coolest opening narration of any of these anthology shows. I recently bought the DVD collection and am slowly rewatching the episodes, hoping to find some I haven't seen before or remind myself of ones I've forgotten. I'm glad you listed 'Let The Games Begin'. That one is one of my favorites as well. Some of my other favorites are: 'Distant Signals'. I'm a big Darren McGavin fan, so it was nice seeing him in this one. It's an odd episode, as it has no horror, and seems more like an 80's Twlight Zone or Amazing Stories episode; 'Dream Girl'. To be honest, part of that is because I was a hormonal teenager when I first saw it, and seeing Carolyn Seymour in her Swiss Miss costume really stuck with me through the years. Speaking of 1980's anthology shows, I'm hoping you will cover my favorite, the Ray Bradbury Theater.

My list: 1. The Zanti Misfits 2. The Inheritors (1 & 2) 3. The Architects of Fear 4. The Invisibles 5. Wolf 359 6. The Sixth Finger 7. Corpus Earthling 8. The Mice 9. Forms of Things Unknown 10. Cry of Silence

First series I got on DVD 2ND WAS THE AVENGERS with Diana rigg

I’m currently doing a re-watch of the original series. I now see The Galaxy Being as being the best overall episode. I really enjoyed the rapport between the alien and Cliff Robertson’s character… Both excellently played and the special effects were great. I’m also quite impressed with the quality of the writing and the acting by everybody. The actors give it their all, despite the outlandish storylines and concepts. As far as creepy moments, which there are many… I think the female looking alien that approaches William Shatner’s spaceship in Cold Hands, Warm Heart as the creepiest. I think the original Outer Limits has to be the weirdest TV show of all time (and I’m a genre fan).

Yellow wasn’t even made for tales from crypt it was originally in a failed spin off called two fisted tales

"It Crawled Out Of The Woodwork" should be up there in the top three.

I loved this series as a kid, and I still believe it’s the best sci fi series ever. Good writing, good acting, and haunting musical score….good stuff.

Hey Adorkable, hope you've been well man. I'm behind on this top 12 but I needed some good cheer today so it's actually perfect timing for me. Great angle on this topic and it's certainly nice to see some of the more uncommon holiday picks. Great to see some holiday horror on here and bonus points for getting a nod to Night of the Meek and that GOTG special! Excellent work as always.

narrator sounds weirder than tol guy, AI is the weirdest, mmm friendly giant...

The Galaxy being was my favourite I was 10 and it scared the crap out of me. It was responsible for a few nightmares.

Oh man I absolutely love all the videos for tales from the dark side!!! 💯☠️💀

Does anyone remember a promo shot with a giant Yeti type creature with white fur standing at the end of a road? I can't find it anywhere.

The Man who was never Born, The Soldier. These two episodes greatly inspired James Cameron with The Terminator.

I agree with this list. Love all these episodes. I'm glad finally fitting Punishment and cryin out loud is on an tales from the crypt list . I love none but the lonely heart, strung along, til death, dig that cat he's real gone, til death, forever ambergris, Advra cadaver, king of the road, maniac at large, split second, split personality, beauty rest, came the dawn, well cooked hams, creep course, two for the show, house of horrors,food for thought, death of some salesman and the man who was death
