German Fail-Review DVD Unboxing "Tales from the Cryptkeeper" 1993 Season 1 & 2 (Halloween Special)

Part 3/4 Tales from the Cryptkeeper is a children's horror anthology series hosted by the Cryptkeeper, where each episode presents a scary story with a moral lesson. The plot revolves around the Cryptkeeper, a mummy-like character with a ghoulish laugh, who tells a different spooky tale to the viewers in each episode, often featuring kids and teens. These stories typically end with a twist or a punishment that serves as a humorous, albeit dark, cautionary tale about a character's bad behavior. Common plot elements Moral lessons: Each episode teaches a lesson about things like greed, lying, or being selfish, often by having the main character suffer a gruesome fate due to their misdeeds. Twisted humor: The series uses dark, pun-filled humor to make the stories entertaining for its younger audience, a significant departure from the more adult-oriented original Tales from the Crypt. The Cryptkeeper: The host, the Cryptkeeper, appears at the beginning and end of each episode to introduce the story and deliver a final punchline or pun. Rival characters: In the second season, the Cryptkeeper has to contend with rivals, the Vault-Keeper and the Old Witch, who constantly try to steal his show, leading to their plans backfiring. Episode examples: Episodes include tales about a hunter who is cursed to become a shapeshifter, brothers who get trapped in a haunted mansion, and a selfish girl who steals her sister's doll only for it to turn on her.
