Featured review
This is a tremendous animated horror series that is an absolute must see
Tales from the Cryptkeeper(1993-1999) is a 3 season animated series currently available on Amazon Prime. Much like Tales from the Crypt, the series is narrated by the Cryptkeeper and is made up of short stories with important lessons where if you're not on your best behavior, or you make the wrong decision, you may end up meeting the Cryptkeeper face to face.
The series is directed by Laura Shepherd (The Care Bears), Rick Marshall (Beetlejuice Animated Series), Mike Csunyoscka (The Ren & Stimpy Show) and Jessie Thomson (Caillou). The voices are primarily provided by John Kassir (Tales from the Crypt), Elizabeth Hanna (Mega Man Legends) and David Hemblen (Tommy Boy).
Each season is 13 episodes and the first season focuses more on ghosts and ghouls and takes place primarily in present day. Season 2 merges Tales from the Crypt with the 1950s comic book series The Vault Keeper and a witch from that series that was a lot of fun. Season 2 also added in different eras and a stronger focus on acting right or bad things will happen to you. Season 3 returns to the Cryptkeeper being the primary character and a continued focus on lessons learned and what can happen to you if you misbehave. The animation has a Ninja Turtles feel to it, ie early 90s, and who doesn't love a good animated horror cartoon?
Overall, this is a tremendous animated horror series that is an absolute must see. I would score this an 8/10 and strongly recommend it.
