Tales From the Cryptkeeper was an animated television series that aired on CBS from 1993 to 1999. It was a spin-off from the popular horror series, Tales From the Crypt. The show was hosted by the Cryptkeeper, voiced by John Kassir, who served as a guide to a variety of spooky and supernatural stories. Each episode featured two stories, typically adapted from various horror comics.

The animation style of the show was reminiscent of the original Tales From the Crypt comics. The characters were exaggerated and stylized, and the colors were vibrant and bold. The show also featured lots of spooky music and sound effects to enhance the horror atmosphere.

Despite being a show aimed at children, Tales From the Cryptkeeper did not shy away from gruesome imagery and dark themes. The stories often featured monsters and other supernatural beings, as well as themes of revenge and betrayal.

Many of the episodes also had a moral lesson, with the Cryptkeeper often breaking the fourth wall to address the audience directly and emphasize the lesson of the story.

In addition to John Kassir as the Cryptkeeper, the show also featured voice work from Elizabeth Hanna and David Hemblen.

Hanna played the role of Irma and her ghostly alter ego, Dot. Dot was a friendly ghost who often assisted the protagonists of the show, while Irma was a more sinister character who would occasionally cause trouble.

David Hemblen voiced the character of Dr. Hadley, a mad scientist and frequent antagonist of the show. Dr. Hadley was always coming up with crazy schemes and inventions, which often went awry and caused chaos for the other characters.

Overall, Tales From the Cryptkeeper was a fun and spooky animated series that blended horror with humor and morality. Its unique animation style and unforgettable host made it a favorite among children of the 90s, and it remains a beloved classic for horror fans of all ages.

Tales From the Cryptkeeper is a series that ran for 3 seasons (51 episodes) between September 18, 1993 and on CBS
