Official Cryptkeeper Intro

Behind the Show: Production & Story

Tales from the Cryptkeeper was a staple of 90s animated horror, serving as a kid-friendly alternative to the adult-oriented HBO series. Hosted by the pun-loving Cryptkeeper (voiced by John Kassir), the show focused on moral lessons wrapped in ghoulish scenarios. It was a massive international effort, produced by Nelvana in Canada and featuring French co-production in its later years.

The series saw a significant shift in its third season, rebranded as New Tales from the Cryptkeeper. This final run moved from ABC to CBS in the US and found a home on Teletoon in Canada. Over its 39-episode run, the show remained famous for its balance of macabre humor and genuine animated chills, ensuring every “boil and ghouls” had a reason to keep the lights on.
