Food for Thought
Death of Some Salesmen (the Tim Curry episode)
Split Personality (The Joe Pesci episode)
What's Cookin'
People Who Live in Brass Hearses (Bill Paxton episode with very bizarre twists even for the Crypt)
The Ventriloquist Dummy
 
Not really the best but more my personal favourites.

For Cryin' Out Loud
Television Terror is the only one that frightened me.
Judy, You're Not Yourself Today, which I thought was pretty absurd.
People Who Live in Brass Hearses also has Brad Dourif in it as a retard, so yea, pretty great.
Spilt Second
Loved to Death for the ending.
None But the Lonely Heart is actually well acted.
Showdown but I am a western fan.
King of the Road
Split Personality
Surprise Party
Three Little Pigs
Horror in the Night
Comes The Dawn (the one From Dusk Till Dawn ripped off for its vampire designs).

I found the parody episodes (Strangers On A Train, Psycho, Groundhog Day, Paths of Glory) tended to be the episodes I least enjoyed. However, the last time I watched this show was in 2015/16 when I was on EDF. I will also defend the final season. Some of the episodes made no sense but I enjoyed them nevertheless.
 
Television Terror is a bad ass episode. It has Morton Downey JR. being killed by a little old lady spectre armed with a chainsaw!


It's even funnier once you know who Mort is and he's playing himself.
 
Television Terror, And All Through The House, Undertaking Palor and Til Death get my vote. Fun fact, The Hitchhiker adapted several EC comics a decade earlier before TFTC would do so, they adapted Came The Dawn which was episode 2 of the 1st season titled When Morning Comes, episode 3 of the 1st was Split Personality titled Split Decision. The one episode which was based on Tales From The Crypt comics issue 35 which the series never adapted was Busted Marriage, titled Shatteted Vows the very first Hitchhiker episode, I wish they did, intro
The plot: Handsome ambitious greedy Jeff Boder and his wealthy older wife Jackie Winslow's cynical stepdaughter Pamela become lovers and conspire to kill Jackie using cursed voodoo-like dolls.

By the way someone on youtube did an edit if it was an actual episode
 
Forever Ambergris
Cutting Cards
The Secret
Carrion Death
The Reluctant Vampire
Yellow
What’s Cookin?
Well Cooked Hams
The Third Pig
 
Loved To Death was adapted from John Collier's short story The Chaser which would adapted as a Twilight Zone episode.
Though both adaptions would come up with their own twisted ending. Loved the soundtrack

Interesting trivia for Loved To Death. Originally they were gonna put either Rick Moranis or Martin Short in the lead this episode. While this episode was getting made Martin Short was working on Clifford(which got shelved for 4 years), imagine Martin Short in this role fresh out of Clifford. Though it wouldn’t be out of his character. “Uncle Martin, I just made the bestest love potion in the whole wide world!” The image of Clifford in a TFTC episode involving love potions sounds like the stuff of nightmares.

 
Damn, I caught a few episodes on TV with my Dad when I was a kid and I'm pretty sure they were Abra Cadaver which freaked me the fuck out at the time. Legit still scared of not being dead but being unable to save myself, love this aspect of the movie Nightwatch as well! creepy af they keep those alarms near corpses
Remember this one too:

Carrion Death is a fun one.

Just remember it being a good time and a lot of fun!
Lastly I remember an episode with James Remar and Whoopi Goldberg which might have been trash for all I know but I always thought James Remar was cool because of The Warriors so sue me idc.
Looking forward to everyone's lists might try to get hold of the show when I can.

That is a good one. And an episode that still largely worked on cut to shit syndicated network TV. When I couldn't get access to HBO or rent any of the tapes (and only roughly the half of the episodes were on tape anyway) I'd watch reruns on Fox always around 11:30-12 right after Mad TV. They were cut to hell but some episodes were luckier than others and there's still great ones without any gore or nudity.

Another great one is "This'll Kill Ya" which has one of the best openings to an episode ever: Dylan McDermott drags a guy's dead body into a police station and tells the cop "I'm dead. And this is the man who killed me!"

Honestly this might be why my Dad let me watch the few episodes we did. He was happy enough to show me anything he would consider old (like The Twilight Zone) or campy/funny like Tales (He loved the Crypt Keeper)

Wow, slightly off topic but what a blast from the past, I haven't thought about tapes in so long and I really miss everything about them. Don't get me wrong Blu-rays are fantastic and streaming is great too, but boy do I miss the tactile nature of VHS. The extra effort my Dad would put in to record something that had a late showing for us all to watch the next day! great memories from those bricks.

That sounds brilliant! I've got the show downloaded so I'll probably crank a few episodes out before bed. Thanks for starting the thread amigo brought back some good memories.
 
The episode where some dude had Sam Kinison in his head. I can't think of anything more terrifying.

Edit: I looked up the title. Another +1 For Cryin' Out Loud
