Where would the holidays be without the Cryptkeeper?
I used to be very confused as to why HBO’s Tale From
the Crypt would not put out a Halloween themed
recording but instead release a Xmas/New Years one.
After several years of pondering I’ve concluded that
doing so was a stroke of genius.
The series ran from the late 80’s to the mid 90’s to
pretty good reviews, it is now considered an iconic
classic with a cult following.
John Kassir does the voice for everyone’s favorite ghoul
and he does it so well it’s frightening.
Then again, that was the point.
I absolutely love this CD, I play the hell out of it (yes, pun
most definitely intended) on the show and I consider it
to be one of my best holiday recordings.
I’ll start with this gem, it’s close to December 25th but
far enough away to play something by them not too
holiday oriented.
Love the lyrics, John’s voice makes my neck hair stand
straight up, a superb piece of comedic horror…
