Tales from the Crypt when I was ten years old .

This was I think 1972. There was a scene where a dead guy came back to life in his coffin due to his wife's third wish, for him to live forever.

Unfortunately he had been embalmed in formaldehyde and would live in agony forever .

My father was a manic depressive alcoholic who refused to take his lithium. Maybe not the best person to get popcorn with.

You just changed my whole perception of time lol. I was like, "Tales from the Crypt didn't start until the 80s though." I had no idea there was a movie in the 70s (and a comic series before that.) I only knew the iconic HBO Cryptkeeper

Me too! I only knew it from the 80's. Had to read OPs comment 3 times.

you didnt know it was a comic? All the episodes would say something like originally presented in The Haunt of Fear or something to that effect if I'm remembering correctly

I was too young to understand what something like "originally presented in" meant lol
