    Television Terror was one of the few episodes that genuinely scared me, to the point that I didn't want to walk to the bathroom in myown house after watching it!

      Ah this episode, I remember watching it on a rainy night, the wirring of my moms sewing machine as we all watched it in the kitchen. Id hide under the table when a scary scene would be on but pop back up to see whats going on. Definitely worth a rewatch

      It was the first episode I saw on HBO. I was 11 years old! By the way, who was the worst mortician? Ezra Thornberry or Sebastian Esbrook?

    One of the reasons "Yellow" ranks low on your list is because it was originally filmed for a spinoff series called Two Fisted Tales.

    Cringing. But all the great iconic actors caught my attention. They all had so much fun making these and these can never be replaced. Much fun and thank you.

    I remember that when I was around 7, my Grandmother had HBO and other premium channels and had no idea. I loved staying up late at night and sneaking to watch this when it aired. It blew my mind as a 7 year old, and has earned a lot of respect from me as a Horror Anthology today. Great memories and nostalgia!

    Yellow definitely isn't like most episodes since it isn't a horror supernatural story but more of a real kind of horror as in the horrors of the war, and also Dead Right. Demi Moore is gorgeous in the episode and Jeffrey Tambor does a terrific job of playing an overweight grotesque slob.

    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.

    5:09 i completely agree here. I never thought of Yellow as a great episode. Some of the writing is kind of hamfisted, and personally as a veteran of an actual war I hold any simulations of war up to a very high standard.

    The similarity between the story that inspired "Cutting Cards" episode and the Roald Dahl short story "Man from the South", first published a few years before the comic, make it seem likely that this was . . . inspired . . . by the Dahl story.
    Regardless, I find the Alfred Hitchcock Presents (original) version of this same basic idea to be better executed. "Cutting Cards" shows you exactly where the story is going and then goes there. It's fun and gruesome, but there's no suspense.

    I understand why Fitting Punishment is on #13 since we don't see the villain get killed and what happened to him after that. I get why Yellow is #12.
    other great episodes i like are Collection Completed, Curiosity Killed, Let the Punishment Fit the Crime
