Probably one of my favorite Sci-fi shows. It's funny and scary at the same time. I wish it was still on!
Tales from the Crypt
Summary
-This show covered it all. It covered everything horror related, from black magic, story twists, horror, sci-fi, hosted by a skeletal puppet known as "The Crypt Keeper". It's not really made for younger viewers because of the content. It's a cross between modern day horror movies and The Twilight Zone. Each episode was a half hour long and dealt with some sort of topic that had a moral at the end
Did You Know?
-Each episode started out with a tour through the Crypt Keeper's home. It was the size of a mini golf course putting green. "Snorkel" cameras were used to make it seem bigger. And the descent into the basement was computer generated
-After doing the lines as the Crypt Keeper, John Kassir, who provided the voice, had to swallow lemon juice and honey to soothe his voice
-This show was only supposed to last 3 seasons. But because of it's quick gaining popularity, it stayed on until 1996, 7 years total from it's beginning in 1989
-There were also noted guest stars in episodes. Such as:
I'm a girl born in the wrong decade. I belong in the 1960s or the 1970s in my opinion. I bleed tie dye, my theme music is anything 1960s rock or 1970s rock or metal. I'm a hippie through and through. But also a hippie who loves old metal music. I believe that violence never solves anything, so why resort to it to solve problems? With all the wars the world has seen, there should be a clue somewhere in there!
