This Christmas CD features The Crypt Keeper(John Kassir) singing parodies of Christmas songs. The songs are done with the same type of "ghoulish" puns that were used on the TV show. If you enjoyed the Crypt Keeper's sense of humor on his TV show, you should enjoy this CD.

This is one classic Christmas CD.

To those that offend easily, it's hilarious playing this when they are around. The twists on all the christmas carols contained within all come as a surprise regardless of whatever song you play. The lyrics can be shocking at times, but overall are quite funny.

A cool little item for horror, and Tales From The Crypt fans. A couple of my favorites: We Wish You'd Bury The Missus, and Juggle Bills.

This album isn't for everyone, but if you have a warped sense of humor and don't mind poking fun at Christmas, this album is for you. It's absolute zaniness brings grins each year I pull this disc out for Christmas

If you have a slightly skewered and warped sense of humor, this CD is for you. I've never watched Tales from the Crypt, but I really enjoy this CD. It's lots of fun and a nice change of pace when you start getting tired of hearing all the goody-goody Christmas tunes. It's hysterical!

I have been a Tales From The Crypt fan since it first appeared on Fox 5, and this album is the ultimate horror collectible. While it has a Christmas atmosphere, it's really funny and for people that like horror movies and chirstmas songs, you will love this. It's a mix of both. Some really great Devilish good songs songs are "Moe Teitlebaum", a tale of a mortician embalming Cryptkeeper's family on christmas eve while they were still alive and "We Wish You'd Bury The Missus" is a song of a husband killing his wife and keeping her around for a year, while her corpse is decaying and rotting in the house. It's so over the top and obscene that it's great. I bought it last night and haven't stopped listening to it. After all, tis the season to be jolly, so put on your old Night Of The Living Dead tape and let this CD spin, you WONT be dissappointed.

"Tales From The Crypt: Have Yourself a Scary Little Christmas" is an excellent CD to listen to at Christmas, or any other time of they year for that matter. Being a "Tales From The Crypt" fan myself, this provides a quality and houmerous addition to my collection.

This is my favorite Christmas cd and I drag it out every year. Don't get me wrong, I like Bing Crosby as much as the next person, but this is just fun. I love "juggle bills" because it is a great parody, and it also lets me know that it isn't just me who feels flooded by bills around the holidays. And, "Deck the halls with parts of Charlie" just needed to be done. The whole cd has an almost cute quality about it but it is just good plain fun. I will pass this on to my own kids some day as Bing was passed to me.

Let me start off by saying that this album is NOT for everyone -- especially those who have no sense of humor about the holidays. If you find lyrics like "Stockings stuffed with ears and fingers (fa la la la la la la la la) Chopped from all those carolling singers (fa la la la la la la la la)" offensive, don't even bother.

If that tidbit made you laugh, this album is for you.

The Cryptkeeper delivers his pun-laced humor, mixed with not-horrible singing, incredibly hilarious lyrics, and that trademarked cackle that sends a chill right down my spine every time I hear it. I can't help but make this my first holiday CD each year. Who could resist that "Saint Nick Rap"?? (That reminds me... anyone know where I can reach the Dallas Cowgirls? My friend Jack wanted some special cheer.) Oh, my sides are aching just thinking about this horrifyingly humorous holiday hoot.

Again, not for everyone -- but if you're looking for an atypical holiday album with deliciously twisted lyrics... then look no further.

Definately worth the money, it's a laugh all the way through from start to finish. I would recommend this to anyone who tires of traditional Christmas music.
