so far I only loved "Trick or Treat" -- suggestions?

I discovered this show recently and so far, the only episode I've really enjoyed was "Trick or Treat," because of the engaging characters (the crazy, greedy old man, the desperate parents, the reluctant kids) and the creepy atmosphere and effects. Should I stop watching, or are there any other episodes on this level? My ratings on what I've seen so far:

Trick or Treat: 5/5
Season of Belief: 3/5
The Last Car: 2/5
Halloween Candy: 2/5
Word Processor of the Gods: 1/5
Cutty Black Sow: 1/5

I loved Tales From The Darkside when I was a kid. Watching it as an adult, the majority of the episodes don't really hold up. Although I did love Trick or Treat, Season of Belief, and Halloween Candy. Have you seen any of the 1985-1989 Twilight Zone episodes? I thought a lot of those were better than the majority of the Tales From The Darkside episodes.

Thanks DeepRest, I'll give a couple of those a try. No, I'm not sure if I saw any Twilight Zone episodes from that era -- probably not. I was a little too young.

Watch Anniversary Dinner which is very wicked. As far as Twilight Zone 1985, give Kentucky Rye a watch. It's so good that I've looped it on youtube for one hell of a recurring nightmare.
