I grew up watching shows like 'The Twilight Zone', 'Night Gallery', and 'Tales From The Crypt'. Enjoying them every weekend through standard television, satellite, and cable. Each of them offering up an anthology of horror all their own. Small stories about morals, and the macabre. Sometimes taking inspiration from horror classics, and the short story compilations of famous or budding authors. Even further still giving way to freshly made tales of tantalizing terror for unsuspecting youth to feed their nightmares with.
For a lot of us it was the origin of our fear of the dark, or the boogeymen in our closets. To others it was eye candy of the most curious sort. Things we could tell friends about during recess hours at school. Making us the envy of the children of puritanical parents who restricted such things from their children's regular television consumption.
