31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2024:
Tales from the Crypt (1989 - 1996)
The comic book, "Tales from the Crypt" and all the horror anthology derivations thereof, were a staple of my childhood. I didn't have too many of them (having gotten a small, box of random issues from a Rummage Sale), but those I had I read and re-read many, many times--poring over the art and the gruesome, O'Henry-esqued endings.
The TV Series run on HBO was also a fun re-telling of some of the stories, and used the similar ironic endings. And the host of the show was the Crypt Keeper--who told bad puns, told corny jokes (usually built upon bad puns), and engaged in gallows humor (which also used bad puns as the scaffolding).
Somehow, it was also a mid-level Saturday Morning cartoon.
