“Shhhh! Aw… There, there. Isn’t he just so cute that you wanna… Oops! Crypt Keeper here kiddies and speaking of kiddies, tonight’s sickening saga should be subtitled a “Tale from the Crib.” Yes, fear fans. I’ve got a real nursery crime for you this time. It’s all about the humble beginnings of my favorite horror hero. So call the babysitter and break out the barf bags as I narrate a nauseating novella with a very special place in my heart. I affectionately call this one “Lower Berth.””
Directed by Kevin Yagher and written by Fred Dekker and Steven Dodd, this is an origin story told by the man who created the Crypt Keeper for the show, special effects expert Yagher. Enoch (Jeff Yagher) the two-faced man meets and makes it with a 4,000 year old mummy, giving birth to The Crypt Keeper at a sideshow. Lewis Arquette shows up as well.
This is based on the Al Feldstein and William Gaines written and Jack Davis penciled story “Lower Berth” that was in Tales from the Crypt #33, which even sort of appeared on the cover.
Now you know where the host came from!
