Is anyone here excited that Tales from the Crypt will be available to watch on Shudder? They even got the original voice of The Crypt Keeper to do the advertisements.

The voice is crucial. Glad they secured him; it makes all the difference. The original run remains a benchmark for anthology horror.

The voice itself is like the rustle of dry leaves, a whisper from the deep earth. Some things are just meant to endure, like a well-preserved crypt.

I don't think they're getting any new episodes (for now) but there were rights issues that tied up the show for decades so no one could show the reruns or release it to streaming until now. So even just having the old episodes is a big deal.

The animated series spin-off "Tales from the Cryptkeeper" is available to watch for free on Tubi if you're in the US.
