Summary: Tales from the Cryptkeeper Complete. The popular cult horror comic books from the 1950's are adapted in this modern cartoon anthology series.
Tales from the Cryptkeeper is an animated horror children's television series made by Canada-based Nelvana. It was shown on YTV in Canada and on ABC in the United States. It was 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. Made for children, Tales from the Cryptkeeper was significantly milder than its live action version and all blood and gore were completely removed in order to target the audience.
Most of the episodes take place within the fictional city of Gravenhurst, California.
The series was cancelled on December 10, 1994. In 1999, the series returned to the air as New Tales from the Cryptkeeper. The animation was different from that of the previous episodes and it switched over to Teletoon in Canada, and also switched to CBS in the United States.
The series details the Cryptkeeper telling other horror stories to the viewers, each with a lesson to be learned.
In Season 2, the Cryptkeeper was continually feuding with his rivals, the Vault-Keeper and the Old Witch who were continually trying to steal the show from him as they didn't have one of their own, only to have their plans backfire on them. This season also saw the Cryptkeeper in different locales than his mansion, as he tried to elude his rivals.
Season 3 aired in 1999 and was the final season of the series. It was the only season to not air on YTV in Canada and ABC in the United States. Instead, New Tales from the Cryptkeeper aired on Teletoon in Canada and on CBS in the United States.
