I am trying to find a show I used to watch as a kid. Late 80s or early 90s. It was a horror show kind of like Tales From The Crypt. It always began with an old man talking and there was a cat and the camera went down the stairs. Thats all I remember. Oh, and one episode was when a guy kept eating ramen at a ramen shop and never got full. Does anyone know the name of it. Please let me know thank you!

I am afraid I don't know it, but I feel the need to bump this topic. It sounds interesting, and I hope somebody out there knows what you are talking about!

Sounds great! Would love to hear about it too.

In the meantime, I can recommend the following series: 怪談新耳袋 (kaidanshinmimibukuro)
They're short Japanese horror stories.

I wrote a bit about that here:

There's a youtube channel that has got loads of them: GABYWII2's Channel - YouTube
