tales from the crypt

The team at FEARnet exhumed the Cryptkeeper and roped in actor John Kassir for the Cryptkeeper's return to television.  This is big news for fans of Tales from the Crypt and his animated series Saturday morning cartoon spin-off.  Read on for the official announcement...

This December, make a resolution to join the Cryptkeeper for FEARnet’s first-ever New Year’s Shockin’ Eve “Tales from the Crypt” Marathon from 6 p.m.-6 a.m. ET/3 p.m.-3 a.m. PT on Monday, December 31.

The marathon is hosted by the Cryptkeeper, himself, in exclusive all-new interstitial content for the first time in 15 years. See the cool ghoul take a blast through the past, decomposing the best of the ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and ‘00s, on his way to welcoming in 2013. Who needs Ryan Seacrest when you can watch the old year die a slow, painful death on the Cryptkeeper’s very own countdown clock? And all night long viewers can take part in an interactive “Would You Rather?” poll, available on FEARnet.com, where they can answer questions based on the episodes they are watching in special segments dubbed “Cryptkeeper’s Conundrums.”

The Emmy Award-winning anthology horror series “Tales from the Crypt” returns to network television starting Friday, October 5, when FEARnet debuts TV versions of the groundbreaking program on its linear channel and presents original episodes on its VOD platform. This marks the first time that “Tales from the Crypt” can be seen on network TV since 2004, when it was previously syndicated.

The TV “Tales from the Crypt” episodes will premiere Friday nights in a two-hour block on FEARnet from 10 p.m. to Midnight ET/7 p.m. to 9 p.m. PT and will be re-aired on Mondays in the same time period. The 93 produced episodes will play in order, beginning with season one and continuing through its seventh, and final, season.
