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".

Each episode was a half hour long and dealt with some sort of topic that had a moral at the end

-There were also noted guest stars in episodes. Such as:
