Trivia
They were originally considering using the live-action puppet from Les contes de la crypte (1989) as the host, but they eventually decided that the puppet was too scary for the younger children and went with a cartoon likeness instead.

Surprisingly enjoyable

TALES FROM THE CRYPTKEEPER was an animated kid's show spin-off from the much better known TALES FROM THE CRYPT horror TV series. It ran over three seasons between 1993 and 1999, consisting of 39 episodes hosted by a green goblin-looking Cryptkeeper, voiced by the original John Kassir from CRYPT. Given that this is a family-friendly, gore-free show compared to the adult version, I found it surprisingly enjoyable when I sat through it this past week after it was uploaded to Amazon Prime.

The stories are fast and furious, typically involving child protagonists getting mixed up with various supernatural creatures or events. As is the norm in these shows, humans turn out to be the greatest monsters of all, and a lot of the beasts aren't so bad after all. Plenty of wince-inducing puns from the Cryptkeeper and his buddies, alongside workable animation and enthusiastic voice actors. I imagine teenagers today would be less than impressed as animation has got a lot more sophisticated these days, but as a child of the 1990s this brought back the era for me in an entertaining way.
