I always forget the 1972 Tales From The Crypt movie with anthologies. Been years since I saw it but I loved it as a kid. Don't remember my favorite segment.

With anthologies I remembered the two Trilogy Of Terror films. Never saw the first but I saw the second years ago on either the USA network or Sci-Fi channel. It was pretty good from my memory and all three of the stories were entertaining. I'd like to see it again.

A few pages back I listed Reaper from Monsters S2 as my favorite of the season but watching Far Below again earlier from that season might be my favorite of the second season. Both are close.
