edit: grab it now if you have yet to bask in the glory of the crypt keeper. I should not have watched this when I was a child but that theme song is amazing. The 4k info I had was actually the remaster they were adding seasons to AMC+ weekly.
Community Reviews
Tales From the Crypt is a long unavailable horror anthology that finally lands for purchase in SD, with the big draw being easy access to the full series and its unrated HBO-era content. The price works out cheaply per season, and the old-school presentation still carries nostalgic charm, with clean picture and audio on some screens. The main drawback is the resolution, which is widely described as true SD or 480p, sometimes with a 60 fps soap opera effect and long episode intros. It feels like a bargain for fans who can live with the format.
Viewers who enjoy nostalgic standard-definition TV, because the lower resolution preserves the old look and still plays clearly on a large screen.
Fans who want to own the series now, because it was unavailable for purchase for years and the current SD copy is still watchable with clean picture and audio.
People who are fine with a rougher presentation, because the show can still be enjoyable even when the SD image is only decent rather than sharp.
Collectors who want the uncensored episodes, because this release is described as including the unrated footage cut from broadcast versions.
Viewers expecting a sharp HD presentation, because the release is standard definition at 480p and can look bad on modern widescreen TVs.
Shoppers waiting for a future upgrade, because the current purchase may be followed by a higher-resolution version later.
People who dislike long episode openings, because each intro runs about three minutes and can make the show feel annoying to watch.
Fans sensitive to motion smoothing, because the 60 fps presentation can create a soap-opera effect that kills the cinematic vibe.

"For years, the classic 1990s anthology was trapped by tangled streaming rights and chopped up by television censors. AMC Networks and Shudder secured the exclusive rights and went back to the original masters.
The Restoration: The show looks crisp, as it has been carefully cleaned up from its original format to fit modern screens.
Unrated Footage: You will finally get to see the show exactly how it aired on HBO in the 90s, complete with all the profanity, gore, and not-safe-for-cable moments that were cut out for reruns."
The Fandango version should have unrated footage but it looks like it won't have the restoration done by AMC+. Don't know if that makes a difference but I will check it out tonight. Got AMC+ when it was on sale for $29 a year and I finally have something to watch

There is a thread on Reddit discussing this and the biggest issues is it appears to be running at 60 fps instead of 24 fps that it was originally broadcast giving it the classic "movie" look.
I bought this and watched a couple of episodes last night. It's definitely got the soap opera effect that comes from the 60 fps frame rate which kind of kills the vibe.
