Tales from the Crypt

The show was originally only planned for three seasons, but it proved so popular it lasted seven. Unfortunately, the creator William M. Gaines only lived to see season three.

John Kassir, voice of the Crypt keeper, often had to swallow lemon juice and honey to sooth his throat after doing his lines.

'Tales from the Crypt' was sometimes mistaken for another horror anthology show, 'Tales from the Darkside' (1983), mainly due to the almost identical titles.
