History YMMV / TalesFromTheCrypt

** Both top billing and beauty rest are preety much the exact same plot and twist.

** Uncle Ezra of "Fitting Punishment" is a particularly cruel example as he murders his orphaned nephew because he saw him as a burden.

** Uncle Ezra.

* CompleteMonster: Many, many characters throughout the show's run. Sometimes including the main character. Just look at [[TheBluebeard Harold Prince]] of "None But The Lonely Heart" and [[{{SerialKiller}} Earl Raymond Diggs]] of "Carrion Death"

* FridgeBrilliance: In "You, Murderer", it's very obvious that the HumphreyBogart is digitally inserted and very distractingly so when seen alongside John Lithgow's character or anyone else. Then you consider that the protagonist of "You, Murderer" underwent drastic plastic surgery to resemble Bogart.

* AdaptationDisplacement: The fact that we have a page on the TV series, but not the comic should be proof enough.

* CompleteMonster: Many, many characters throughout the show's run. Sometimes including the main character. Just look at Harold Prince of "None But The Lonely Heart" and [[{{SerialKiller}} Earl Raymond Diggs]] of "Carrion Death"

* TearJerker: The ending to "As Ye Sow" is quite possible the saddest moment in all of the episodes that Tales From The Crypt has aired.

* JerkassWoobie: Jon Lovitz's character in "Top Billing".

* CompleteMonster: Many, many characters throughout the show's run. Sometimes including the main character. Just look at Harold Prince of "None But The Lonely Heart" and [[{{SerialKiller}} Earl Raymond Digs]] of "Carrion Death"

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: Just look at the Crypt Keeper on the main page. If you have some lack of rememberance of what he looks like and you see him, that alone could scare you in the right oppurtunity. The show itself, as one would expect of an uncensored horror short story show, can dabble between this and {{Narm}}, depending on the episode.
** The episode "Television Terror" is ripe with this, which is also why it is a fan-favorite.

* IncomingHam: "HELLO KIDDIES!"

** The Episode Television Terror is ripe with this, which is also why it is a fan-favorite.

* {{Flanderization}}: The Crypt Keeper is far more subdued, more ominious in Season 1, whereas he is more tongue-in-cheek in the rest of the series. According to John Kassir, production always wanted the latter approach, but budget constraints required the Season 1 approach. Renewal and a budget increase allowed production to make the Crypt Keeper the way viewers remember him.
* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: Just look at the Crypt Keeper up there. If you have some lack of rememberance of what he looks like and you see him, that alone could scare you in the right oppurtunity. The show itself, as one would expect of an uncensored horror short story show, can dabble between this and {{Narm}}, depending on the episode.

* AdaptationDecay: Some fans of the original comics did not like episodes that took great liberties with the stories. The later series especially seemed to have little to do with the source material.

* LargeHam: The Crypt Keeper.
