I do not know, just seemed it was on a lot longer than from 1989-1996 to me. Seems like it made it to like 1998 or something. However, I do know this horror show hosted by the friendly and insane crypt keeper was a rather fun show, of course some episodes were better than others as it is your "Tales from the Darkside" type format with every episode being something different. There were some weak shows and then there were some very strong episodes to be had, the one constant was the host of the show an animatronic decomposing creature known as the crypt keeper who would both introduce then wrap up every episode. Within the first season or so you would see remakes of the different episodes of the 1970's "Tales from the Crypt" movie as they did the one with Santa Claus which was better than the original, and the one with the blind folk which was not as good as the original. There was one more in that movie, however, for the life of me I can not remember what it consisted of. Other ones that stand out in my mind are the one about the kid who has a secret who gets adopted by couple who also has a secret, one where a crazy couple gets involved with a vampire and many other shows that would prove to be interesting. Then they had ones that might as well been comedies like the one involving the guy who hears his conscience for the first time in the form of Sam Kinnison's voice. All in all a rather good horror show, a type not really seen anymore on television which is kind of sad.
