Tales from the CryptkeeperRating: 3.9/5 (with 64 votes)
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 was cancelled on December 10, 1994, and returned to the air in 1999 as The New Tales from the Cryptkeeper. The animation differed from previous episodes, and it transferred to Teletoon in Canada and to CBS in the United States. All three seasons are available to stream on Nelvana's "Retro ReRun" YouTube channel and are in rotation on Pluto TV. ()
