Tales from the Cryptkeeper Audience Reviews

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
jasonbradleyeades It definitely won't be scary, but if your a fan, it was great!
Tommy Nelson Tales from the Crypt was an adult horror anthology on HBO, but it liked to tease children to watch. After all the Cryptkeeper never said anything to the adults, and all of his comments were said to the "kiddies". So why not give the Cryptkeeper his own kid's show? Well how about because Tales from the Crypt was a violent comic book full of horror tales, and no children show would ever allow the amount of violence needed. So instead we get a poorly animated TV show where the Cryptkeeper teaches kids' lessons about what not to do. Truly a great premise!Alright, so as stated earlier, the plot of this show is that the Cryptkeeper hosts and teaches children lessons and makes them pure. Of course, this does not fit with his very unpure character on the TV show, but that's okay, it's a kiddie show.This show was bad for a variety of reasons. It had lame story lines to teach lessons. Don't cry wolf, be courteous, reading is cool...and then the Cryptkeeper keeps saying how scary it is. It's like watching Bambi with an audio commentary by Vincent Price making spooky noises. It's not scary in the least, and it's just dumb.To make matters worse, the animation is just horrible. It's fluid enough, and not choppy, but the animated acting is horrible. Characters have blank expressions when they should be scared. The characters put their arms in strange ways, and overact everything. It's like the animators have never observed how an actual human being walks, talks and looks. It's hard to watch this horrible animation with these awkward characters.This show is poorly animated and too heavy on the messages to be good by any means, but it's kind of funny in a bad sort of way.My rating: * 1/2 out of ****. TVY7. 30 mins.
9sam1 i really liked this show when i was a kid so now when i watch it the nostalgia automatically makes me love it. it probably isn't to good if you didn't watch it as a kid but it is still a very good show. not to scary but since it was a kids show you cant expect much. Definitely worth a watch if you saw this show as a kid or just like the original. If i remember correctly the original voice of the cryptkeeper does the voice for this animated show as well. As much as i love this show ill admit it was not as great as the original because of obvious reasons. but for a kid show it is damn good :)
Op_Prime Think 'Tales from the Crypt' animated. This series was Saturday morning cartoon and aired in ABC. Being on ABC and on Saturday morning kept the show from living up to the live action show. It wasn't able to be as scary or funny with those restrictions. On it's own, I'd say it was an okay show; but compared to the live action show, it does not measure up.
