"Tales from the Crypt" seemed like it was on longer, while this one to me seemed like it was on for only a brief amount of time in the 1980's. From the look of it, it had a rather nice run and for the most part it was an okay show. A bit more adult oriented than say a "Tales from the Darkside" this one was on HBO so there was quite a bit of nudity to be found. The episodes I am afraid though were not always that memorable, as I have a hard time remembering the plots to most of the ones I saw. I also seem to mix up shows from "Tales from the Crypt" with this one too. It did have a similar setup to that show, however, as each episode was introduced and then summed up by a sort of host...in this case the enigmatic hitchhiker character. However, it was unlike Tales in that the show was usually more suspense and thriller oriented rather than horror oriented like both crypt and the host of other weekly shows that tended to focus on creepy things. Still, I wish I could find this on DVD and watch them again and see them uncut as most of the episodes I saw were on USA.
