Tales From The Crypt – Season 1, Episode 1: The Man Who Was Death (1989) – Review Oh sure, HBO managed to change the face of television with the Sopranos, but when it came to altering the type of content you could see on the small screen, then one of the real trailblazers turned out to be a five foot five corpse with a fondness for excruciating dad jokes. I am, of course, referring to Tales From The Crypt - the horror anthology show that ran from 1989 to 1996 that not only pushed the boundaries of showing violence, gore, nudity and swearing on TV without those pesky censors getting involved, but had a wealth of Hollywood heavyweights backing it up. http://wevegotbackissues.com/2025/12/19/tales-from-the-crypt-season-1-episode-1-the-man-who-was-death-1989-review/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=jetpack_social
