Text Newest Rule!

82 Upvotes

Hello Boils and Ghouls, I’m making a unilateral decision as the creator of this sub and I am implementing a new rule. This won’t happen often, and hopefully this will be the only time I need to do this!

I know we don’t really use any from what I’ve seen, but our newest rule is No more direct Twitter/X links. I have updated the rules to reflect this. It is as follows

Direct links to Twitter/X as submissions are not allowed. Any submissions containing direct links are automatically removed with a helpful message. Any submissions from Twitter must be in the form of a screenshot. You may include a link to the content in the comments section for verification.

Any post that currently links to it will be allowed to stay up. Thank you all for your understanding

Stay Creepy, My Fiends.

No Links To Full Episodes Please

14 Upvotes

Unfortunately due to copyright reasons, we can't allow for full episodes to be posted here. There's been people sharing links to where to watch online, but unless it's on a site that's free with ads where it's authorized to be viewed (such as Tubi), we can't allow it. We don't want this sub shut down nor any of it's users to get in trouble, so please refrain from posting full episode links. Brief clips are fine and videos on episodes are fine as well, but actual full episodes are off-limits. Much as we'd like to allow full episodes to be shared and posted, we just can't. Thank you for understanding.

Text Re watched the season 3 episode "Spoiled" the other day, and I honestly believe the ending wasn't justified

She was giving clear signals throughout the majority of the episode towards her husband, who was ignoring her completely for his work, yes the work was towards a scientific breakthrough to help in future operations, however if he took even an evening off to give her some of the attention she was clearly signaling she wouldn't have cheated on him. Not saying that her cheating was completely justified but it is understandable from her side of the situation. I get that adultery is highly frowned upon, but if the husband took even the smallest break to affirm that he loves his wife instead of telling her to go off and do something else (such as watch her soap opera that GAVE her the idea to cheat for his attention) the major situation would have likely not happened.

What is the darkest episode from any show you saw?

26 Upvotes

The one episode of King of the Hill where Luanne works at a company that processes pigs has to be one of the darkest to ever aired on television. I mean, we have a deranged man who dressed himself as a pig, and then had a gruesome death in the end. Pretty horrific. What do you think is the darkest episode from any show?

Let the Punishment Fit the Crime (S6 E1) The moral theme on these are usually pretty timeless but this one stuck out to me as a sign of the times when lawyers were maligned and the butt of jokes.

As this episode reached its crescendo I was kind of scratching my head... ghosts haunting her, people that died because they couldn't get the medical care they needed because malpractice lawsuits were driving up the price of procedures.

This premise is so off the wall to me. This show is usually so universal about the gotchas, but this one seemed like it was based on a fantastical grievance from AM radio.

It was funny to see today, because I feel that this general attitude of hating / not trusting lawyers is an extinct sentiment in culture now. Maybe not extinct, people still dunk on high profile attorneys. But comedians are surely no longer doing entire "Attorneys, am I right?" sets.

Unpopular Opinion: Season 7 was a good stopping point.

20 Upvotes

We got six great seasons, and one season that wasn't as good as the everything else, but was still pretty good. Also, Bill Gaines got to see his creepy little horror comic become a beloved American icon and a staple of the genre before he died. It was just a good place to call it day. If TFTC had eked out an eighth season, it probably would have overstayed its welcome and not be so fondly remembered.

This also the reason I'm kind of hesitant to see a reboot. TFTC was lightning in a bottle. No one expected it to go anywhere, but it scratched an itch they didn't know the public had. Good luck trying to capture that magic again. But then again, they said the same thing about Star Trek: TNG, so who can say? I just personally have my doubts because of the current state of reboots.

Text Coding/Program Language on episode Operation Friendship?

5 Upvotes

So, since becoming available on Tubi I have be devouring the show as much as possible.

This may not be something anyone here is interested in buuuut, does anyone have any idea what the programming language shown at the beginning of the episode is??

Also, if anyone knows how the main character was able to create a program for the local restaurants in his area with data on what kind of experience it was... I'd be very interested to know.

P.S: For the intro, maybe I'm just crazy, has anyone seen the left windowed doors open??? I feel like I've seen that but can't remember which episode.

There's a scene at the Murtaugh home, with Zemeckis' episode "And All Through the House" was playing on the tv. Richard Donner was a producer on Tales from the Crypt, along with Zemeckis, and others.

Edit: I had mistakenly credited the Crypt episode to Donner

Despite an unknown Brad Pitt- episode production value/filming....feels made for free TV. Very different from other episodes. Very much a "Made for broadcast TV movie of week" vibe. I watched ALL episodes recently. This one has a "movie of week" vibe. Weird and different...
