Maybe I was already too old, but I hated this series with a passion. Sure, the Cryptkeeper puppet was cool, but the episodes were BAD - really bad, and relied more on gore then scares. The one thing it had going for it: It was better then "Tales from the Darkside" but then again, staring at a sleeping dog was better that that.
My recommendation: See the original movie with Peter Cushing, Joan Collins and others - it blows the entire series away. In fact, if you're a fan of the movie, check out "Asylum" and "The House that Dripped Blood". All of these movies were made up small stories, and good old fashioned horror. Not all were winners, but even the worse was better then the series best.
