Mostly because of the humor, the Crypt Keeper, the twists, and the near universal comeuppance. * FFS it went off the air 30 years ago. Gods, I’m old. I’m rewatching the series and just finished season 1. Most of the episodes are short, around 22 minutes, but some later ones run to 35+. The twist or comeuppance is spoilered, just in case. S01E01. Electric chair executioner is laid off and starts killing criminals with electricity but [ISPOILER]he’s caught and given the electric chair[/ISPOILER]. S01E02. A cheating wife kills her husband on Christmas but [ISPOILER]she’s stalked by a madman in a Santa outfit[/ISPOILER]. S01E03. A circus performer is given nine lives and uses them up being killed as performance but [ISPOILER]he miscalculated and is buried alive[/ISPOILER]. S01E04. A murderous prostitute sells her beauty as a joke but [ISPOILER]she learns it’s all too real[/ISPOILER]. S01E05. Gold digger marries a young, naive, wealthy woman but [ISPOILER]he finds out she’s a black widow[/ISPOILER]. S01E06. A husband retires and can’t stand all the strays his wife has adopted so starts killing them and turning them into taxidermy but [ISPOILER]the wife kills and stuffs him in revenge[/ISPOILER]. I’ve rewatched the series a few times over the years so have these almost memorized at this point. Can’t wait to get to some of my favorite episodes in later seasons.</blockquote>
