"Have a'Ghoul' Old Time!"
2 November 2012
Warning: Spoilers
I never got to see this animated for kid's version of Tales from the Crypt.

To tell you the truth , I didn't know it existed! I saw the very 1st episode "While The Cat's Away" by Manny Coto.

I was surprised on how somewhat intense it was! I mean this was suppose to be aimed at kids and I expected a 'Scooby-Doo' type of shenanigans at the very least. Boy was I wrong! This little creepy tale has two little kids breaking in a obvious haunted House to steal something valuable in order to buy some 'dream bikes' the kids have been wanting to get.

Problem is that said house is not abandoned like these two taught and you got everybody from Dracula, Wolfman, Frankenstein's Monster, Ghosts and even Zombies to contend with! Plus secret trapped doors & walls galore! I truly was expecting a spoof-like entry on the classic series and comic. But they remained creepy even if it was animated.

I look forward to see more and more of these tales. I'm really happy/ surprised that they got the original voice of the Cryptkeeper himself from the TV series: John Kassir, to voice the animated Cryptkeeper and introduced all the episodes like he did on the TV show.

Like the TV show , it teaches lessons of right and wrong and the consequences it has when you choose wrong over right, but more so here because it's really suppose to be aimed at kids. I have no issues on that. In fact, it makes it better.

I'm just excited I'm finally getting a chance to see this classic animated series for the 1st time! So if you get a chance, give it a chance and check it out and have a "Ghoul" old time!
