Tales from the Cryptkeeper
Created by Libby Hinson, Ben Joseph
A lighthearted animated horror-comedy anthology for children that trades the HBO original's darkness for playful spookiness and episodic reset comfort.
Tales from the Cryptkeeper is an animated series aimed at children made by Nelvana Limited, PeaceArch Entertainment, kaBOOM! Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television Animation. It was shown on TVO and ABC, and is still shown near Halloween on Teletoon. It was based on the live-action television show, Tales from the Crypt, which aired concurrently on HBO. Being directed at children, Tales From the Cryptkeeper was significantly milder than the live-action HBO version.
