The Story of Tales From The Cryptkeeper: EC Comics, the HBO Show, the Game Show & Its Many Deaths 

Oh, how I miss that!

Oh yes, and it all began in the 80s where Rambo and Robocop were cartoons to eat your cereal with. lol

What a time to be alive. Things are so lame these days.

Rambo: the Force of Freedom, baby!

So true

Coincidence? I dont think so!

Don't forget Eerie Indiana!

Retro I watch all your vids

Hey retro i saw your channel is kids channel you might wanna change it. Lets just say 6teen was not really for kids just saying.

I like watching some of your animated series and also And subscribe to your channel keep up the good work

@@blueraccoon1088 agreed.

@@xXLunatikxXlul update it worked but some episodes haven't changed

Those two are my favs 😊

Me too

Hell yeah. I saw Bordello of Blood in the theater, I was 8 or 9 at the time. Afterward, my dad looked me in the face and said, "Don't you ever tell your mother that you saw this movie. Understood?" I still haven't told her. 😉

I was waiting for a mention about demon knight :(

One of my favorite horror flicks

I think he means the way the Muppets aren’t puppets in their universe but they’re still totally puppets. Does that make sense? Lol

I remember the episode!!! The show was awesome..

I find it cool that the comics version of the Crypt Keeper looks like his father, while the TV version takes more after his Mummy.

its streaming on pluto tv app

If you want to own it Walmart usually has the dvd box set this time of year.

he also voiced Adam The Clown for the first dead rising game

He also did a cameo appearance on Tales from the Crypt; and he was a regular on the series First And Ten.

That's the sign of a great impressionist some say. (Referring to doing a character that is impersonating someone else)

Charlie Adler voiced Buster Bunny for all but four episodes of _Tiny Toons,_ at which point Kassir *took over,* like right at the end of the show's life. That being said, I do believe _Night Ghoulery_ was the grand finale of _Tiny Toons,_ so that's sort of fitting.

Also a fun note: in season three of the 2012 TMNT series, there was an episode titled "In Dreams", which featured monsters called The Dream Beavers. He voiced two of them, Rober Englund did the other two. That whole season is excellent and full of horror nods. :)

The best spooks are the ones you don't realize until too late.

@@Moonbeam143 Totally. I had a friend who was married to a teacher once, he ended up having a drinking problem she wasn't aware of, and the next thing she knew, she found herself in hotel bathroom in Colorado while he tried to attack her with an axe. It seemed to just happen over night.

@@aaronlea-art I meant harmless, fun spooks. Real life danger is so great.

@@Moonbeam143 I was making a Shining/Wendy Torrence reference based off your Shelley Duvall profile pic, sorry, now I feel bad.

@@aaronlea-art well I laughed.

I mean, he's the "Man of Steel" just like Stalin. All ground that would be explored even further in Red Son. Along with anarchist Batman and his Bat-ushanka.

You could say the industry tried to specifically make life harder for Gaines, but otherwise 1) It was DC and Archie that were the ringleaders for the CCA. While Marvel (then Atlas) was part of it, they were not the behemoth they would go on to be. They were more like a slightly high rent Charlton--basically flooding the market with ripoffs and would swiftly turn gears at the next big thing. They had their own tawdry horror comics line, and were themselves severely crippled by the whole affair as anyone--it's said it only survived because Martin Goodman didn't want to explain to his wife that her cousin (Stan Lee) no longer had a job. 2) The dominance of superheroes was the effect, not the cause of the CCA restrictions. By that point, only a handful of superhero comics were being regularly published, half of them being part of the Superman family. The revived DC superheroes were pretty incrimental, and not officially here to stay until 1960. Fantastic Four #1 would not be published until 1961, which would seem to be quite the long game from all the parties involved, and a entire generation of readers as far as the industry was concerned at the time. 3) The biggest publisher of the era was not Marvel. It was not DC. It was Dell Comics. According to Helen Meyer's testimony, which was very much about throwing E.C. under the bus, was that their comics did about a quarter of Dell's business. As their comics tended to sell about a million copies a month, this would put "Tales From the Crypt" at about 250,000. Healthy sales, and pretty much unheard of for today, but this was about the numbers a book like "New Warriors" did in the early 90's. Definitely popular enough for spinoffs, but not something the sent a chill down the spine of competitors. It should also be said, in her testimony, that "crime" always preceded "horror". The genre was the junior partner in the twosome. People forget that "Crime Does Not Pay" was a super popular book at the time, and Lev Gleason had socialist leanings. Gaines was definitely a pariah in the industry, because of his colorful, aggressive personality, and because he gave the industry media attention they did not want. (Half the times comics were a front for mob activity.) Not because Stan Lee was sitting on Spider-Man and knew as long as the Cryptkeepr was around, nobody would read his adventures.

@@RABartlett That's very informative, thank you. Do you have any links to where I can read more on this?

I can hear him saying AND YOU!!!!!!!

Great flick with some great stories.

Dusk Till Dawn was supposedly planned as Crypt movie too initially.

@@darkwoods1954 It actually has that Tales from the Crypt feel to it.

Got to love all those Amicus and Hammer Horror anthology movies.

@@daverage4729 The House That Dripped Blood and From Beyond The Grave were two standout films. I put them on the same level as the original Creepshow.

I can still here his booming voice saying "AND YOU???!!!"

And funny enough Jhon kassir would replace Charlie addler as the voice of buster bunny when addler left tiny toons

@@sjmhadsock4586 Interesting. That would explain how Buster sounded exactly like the Crypt Keeper in the TftC parody.

@@williamcrowe2576 he replaced him later but yes

Terrific! You've really managed to cover so much in a relatively short period of time. It's a bit of a challenge to keep up with it all, but I mean that in the best possible way!
