This review is from: Tales from the Cryptkeeper: The Complete First Season - Pleasant Screams (DVD)

As a kid growing up in the 80's, I had the privledge to watch such cartoons as Ghostbusters, Beetlejuice, My Pet Monster, and other greats that warped my little mind. I had no knowledge of this show however, but I'm sure it would have been a regular in my cartoon line up. Now as an adult in my mid 20's, I stumbled upon this DVD. I decided that since my husband and I were such fans of "Tales from the Crypt" it was worth a watch... and it was. The cartoons are a bit cheesy (they are from the 80's) but they all had that great morale endings. We have a 6 yr old who is following in our footsteps, and loves the spooky stuff as well. She really enjoyed the DVD! She is watching it every day at this point, so we've decided to buy the 2nd season. Great little throwback to your childhood if you grew up loving that type of cartoon!

My kids love this show. I like it because it has goblins and mummys but its very childish so its not too scary for them.

I am a bit surprised more people haven't reviewed this item. This set is great, whether you're a fan of the live action series or a kid who likes somewhat creepy cartoons. However, this was quite different from the actual HBO series. They did for the most part keep the music and John Kassir once again does the cryptkeeper's voice. The cryptkeeper gets a lot of screen time and makes cameo appearances in many of the episodes. All of the Universal Studios monsters make appearances as well even if they don't refer to them as Frankenstein, et al. Every story involves kids as the main characters getting in trouble with monsters or haunted houses so yes, the stories are a bit cheezy, but still fun. As an old comics fan, they remind me of DC's House of Secrets comic books of the 70's and 80's more than HBO's Tales From The Crypt. If you're a fan of the show or genre you owe it to yourself to get at least one season on DVD. I got mine for under $8 and it was well worth it. I'd be willing to pay twice that much.
