Watch along at https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRkso3AeKZUk2kT_iXfXP8PCb6iaufS48&si=7nKxhyHpiA2z0QQm 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.
