TV:MA:LVSĪs a kid I frickin' loved this show with a fiery exuberant passion, I worshipped it, the sting in the tale just desserts style of the horror where the bad and guilty were generally punished gruesomely in priceless and delicious twist endings came to be what the ideal version of horror is to me, grim, deadly, but with a certain underlying sense of fun and sly humour about itself and has a subtle sense of twisted karmic justice. episode lengths-(approx.)27 minutes with no commercials. Some of the classics are Television Terror, Korman's Kalamity, Cutting Cards, The Switch, For Crying Out Loud, The Ventiliquists Dummy and Lower Berth. I'm not going to go into all of them, but they are good. As for the series, this season has some good ones. The Cryptkeeper has evolved to great lip and eye movement. Then there was Only Sin Deep and Lover Come Hack to Me. The really good ones were Collection completed and All Through the House. As for episodes, the classics were Man Who Was Death and Dig that Cat hes Real Gone. He didn't yet evolve with his facial movements yet. The first is the Cryptkeeper, who really didn't look all that great this season. This was obviously the starter season, so there were some glitches. I will review the first and second season(out on DVD now) Season one-6 episodes. It's hard to rate it as an entire series, because the episodes went from really bad, to excellent. Usually great horror anthology show hosted by the Cryptkeeper, a rotting corpse done through animatronics. NP: The Bobcat Goldthwait episode: only animated Tales ever: takeoff.Three Little Pigs But Tales always stuck around, on its own terms, and gave up swinging. The "Vault Of Horror" got a limited run in 94, but failed. Speilberg tried it with "Amazing Stories" and gave up after two long years. Jon Kassir's Crypt Keeper remains one of the more sacred pop culture figures of recent years (when's the last time you saw someone trashing the Keeper? He's an icon for chrissakes), and while some of the stories may not have been on caliber with others (most of the "England" episodes never touched the Demi Moore/"if I can't have you, no one will" one), in the end, when the smoke had cleared and the show was over, you looked at it with a refreshing zing, as if you had embraced being had.īringing back the EC stories wasn't a simple task. Not only was every episode meticulously crafted into thirty minutes of ironic terror, but the forces behind it always remained credible enough to deliver star-studded episodes. I, myself, am waiting eagerly for them to put the rest of the seasons on DVD so I can have a HUGE marathon of nothing but "Tales From the Crypt"! And if you don't feel like taking a big step like that, go rent them, then you can buy them. The thing is is that if you haven't seen this show then you definitely need to go out and buy the episodes. Not because his jokes were funny, but more because of how corny they are, but yet he thinks they are just the funniest things in the world. But as I got older I listened more to what he said and realized how hilarious he was.
When I was younger, I was terrified of him. There may be other shows that are similar, but none will ever have anything like the Cryptkeeper. It had EVERYTHING humor, horror, drama, and an amazing, original host to start each episode off: The Cryptkeeper.
And for the ones there are, none of them can even begin to compare with this one. *sigh* There aren't many shows EVER to have a whole new storyline every episode. I wish upon oh so many stars for them to bring it back.
