Episode 10: "Tales from the Cryptkeeper"



The popular cult horror comic books from

the 1950s are adapted in this cartoon

anthology series.























Tales from the Cryptkeeper is an animated

horror children's television series made

by Canadian studio Nelvana. The series was

broadcast on ABC in the United States,

and on ITV in the United Kingdom.





































It is based on the 1950s EC Comics series

Tales from the Crypt and the live action

television series of the same name,

which aired concurrently on HBO.



Intended for children, Tales from the

Cryptkeeper is significantly milder than

its live-action counterpart, and all

blood, gore, profanity and sexual content

are completely removed to be more appropriate

for the target audience. Most episodes take

place within the fictional city of

Gravenhurst, California.









































The series details the Cryptkeeper telling more

kid-friendly horror stories to the viewers,

each with a teachable lesson.



The second season has the Cryptkeeper at

constant odds with rivals, and fellow EC

Comics horror hosts, the Vault-Keeper

and the Old Witch, who continually try

to steal the show from him as they didn't

have one of their own, only to have their

plans backfire. The Cryptkeeper can be

found in different locales than his mansion,

as he tries to elude his foes.























The third and final season aired in 1999.

Unlike the first two seasons, it, under

New Tales from the Cryptkeeper, aired on

Teletoon in Canada and on CBS in the

United States. This season sees the

Cryptkeeper taking a more active role,

usually by setting up situations to

teach frightening lessons to kids with

severe character flaws.
