TALES FROM THE CRYPT SEASON 1 1989 (WARNER)

In the 1950's Bill Gaines created Tales From The Crypt comics and many others such as Vault Of Horror, Shocksuspense Stories, Weird Science, etc. They were eventually banned for their violent content.
This is a series that ran on HBO for 7 seasons. These are the first six episodes and all are well done enough to sell the show and get it started.
1.The Man Who Was Death is about an executioner who is laid off and goes freelancing.
2. And All Through The House is about a woman who kills her husband on Christmas Eve and is then stalked by a demented killer in a Santa suit. This is actually a remake of the story featured in the 1972 film and it starred Joan Collins.
3.Dig That Cat, He's Real Gone is about a man enhanced with nine lives by a mad doctor.
4. Only Sin Deep stars Lea Thompson as a woman who sells her soul for beauty.
5. Lover Come Hack To Me is about a young couple whose female half has a very, very dark secret.
6. Collection Completed is about a man who takes up taxidermy with terrifying results.
All of these episodes follow the original story fairly well and have a shock ending. One of the best TV shows around. Recommended!!
