I was in my early teens when it was on syndication on Saturday nights. I had to go to bed right as it was coming on but I got to stay up and watch the intro and the Cryptkeeper's segment. Maybe the best TV intro ever.
"The 'Tales from the Crypt' and 'Tales from the Darkside' intros shall remain unskippable in horror households" is codified into the Horror Fan's Constitution.
When I was a kid the intro (especially the Crypt Keeper's laugh) scared the hell out of me. I would be in tears, but I loved the show otherwise haha. I've mostly gotten over it, but every now and then I still get a chill when I hear the theme song start.
