29 years ago, on July 19, 2025, the Cryptkeeper cackled on the small screen for the last time, when the final episode of acclaimed HBO horror-comedy anthology Tales from the Crypt aired. A creepy showcase for the era’s top-tier Hollywood talent, Tales recruited stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Demi Moore and Tom Hanks to anchor the show’s ironic stories of death and depravity — usually with a twist ending thrown in to teach a heavy-handed (and gory) moral message.

The show was a bonafide pop culture sensation, yielding a spinoff animated children’s show, two feature films and multiple Emmy nominations over the course of its seven seasons. But while the series was once available for purchase on platforms like Amazon Prime and Vudu, as of right now, it’s impossible to legally stream the show.
