Twilight Zone Vs. Outer Limits Vs. Alfred Hitchcock Vs. Tales From the Crypt Who had better stories?
- Thread starter JoseLuisGotcha
- Start date
Yea Tales from the Crypt's first season was pretty decent, but they all had very predictable endings as the show went on...shyt got boring quick..tales would just be some fukked up shyt. tz had some corny or obvious lessons but overall i dug a lot of em. I think outer limits was most polished.
no Are You Afraid of the Dark?
But the 1972 Tales from the Crypt is the best horror anthology movie ever...Ralph Richardson will fukk up your dreams :zayufedup:
No one is going to mention Amazing Stories? Or..........
Freddy's Nightmares??
Amazing Stories had like maybe 6-7 great episodes that were scary or something...the rest were after school specials; that show did not age well like the others and did not deeply address socioeconomic issues like the others (even Tales from the Crypt was a biting satire on capitalism)
we feasted off plenty of anthology shows to be honest, so many to watch and enjoy..
karloff had a short lived show, The Veil.

I Dare anyone to watch "The Cutty Black Sow" in the dark at night and tell me it doesn't fukk with you...also, Trick 'or Treat and the one with the girl on the train will fukk your world up too...great series
OG Twilight Zone ftw
Without Twilight Zone; would TalesFromtheCrypt/Outer Limits/Goosebumps exist
...I'm Hitchcock film stan, but his show was just TZ with his name on it
And, Night Gallery should get a honorable mention

Hitchcock didn't feel like TZ to me; Hitchcock felt like his show with his stories of deception, murder, etc. and Twilight Zone rarely dealt with that;
and like I said earlier, both Outer Limits and Twilight Zone were sci-fi shows, but both had very different approaches, budgets, style, etc. and Outer Liits held its own and produced a much richer and complex show than Twilight Zone; yes, Twilight Zone had some classic, classic episodes that I cherish today, but as a whole, Outer Limits' short lived run had a more consistent critical tone on globalization and oppression/the human condition while Twilight Zone often repeated the same themes over and over again (because it had so many episodes).
Tzone only had one show that came close to it, outer limits. IMO. Both dealt with sci fi but in different strengths.Without Twilight Zone; would TalesFromtheCrypt/Outer Limits/Goosebumps exist

I never heard of those
The reason I really love TZ is because it reflected the era so on point. I mean I know most people weren't alive back then (including me) but the threat of nuclear war, UFOS, invasions from other countires/aliens just fed into the paranoia and concerns of The Cold War era. I know as a black man I would have caught hell during those times but I just like the way the men dressed in that era always in suits and always dressed to the T. The whole look of the show always captivates me. I love that shyt.
