Stories You Wish Were Adapted

There's still a whole plethora of Horror tales from the EC Horror comics that never got adapted for the HBO series. Which do you wish had been?

I think it's unfortunate we never got updated adaptations of the stories Poetic Justice, Reflection Of Death, Midnight Mess, and Drawn And Quartered. There were in the two 70s Amicus anthology films and were very good in their respective movies and I would've liked to have seen them get updated versions in the HBO series. Poetic Justice would've especially been cool to have seen modernized.

From the comics, there's the infamous Foul Play and Taint The Meat, It's The Humanity would've been incredibly gruesome yet fun to have seen adapted for the show, and Bats In My Belfry would've been awesome to have seen. I can imagine the type of creature effects an episode on that would've had and how intensive it would've been.

It's a long shot and I'm grateful TFTC is finally coming to streaming, but I have hopes if the reruns do well enough ratings-wise it could potentially lead to new episodes and these stories finally being adapted.

New Crypty Segments For Shudder?

Not actually replacing the originally filmed segments for the episodes of course, just using the puppet for new promotional spots on Shudder to promote TFTC now being on the network. I wonder what are the chances with TFTC now coming to Shudder if they may actually get the Crypt Keeper puppet and film all-new segments featuring Crypty solely for the network? Wouldn't be the first time, as FearNet also did that when they had TFTC in syndication, albeit using a much lower-quality one. It'd be the coolest thing if they could get Kevin Yagher and his crew to actually get the original puppet to film new segments. Then of course John Kassir voicing Crypty. It's a long shot, but it'd be awesome.
