The Crypt Keeper Rises From the Grave to Host AMC’s Annual ‘FearFest’
The Crypt Keeper is coming back, and he hasn’t aged a day—though he has taken up a side gig as a DJ, from the looks of things. The series offers a delightful dose of ’90s nostalgia, with its eerie, comeuppance-laden stories populated by quite a few once and future superstars (including Brad Pitt, Demi Moore, Kyle MacLachlan, and Patricia Arquette) and who’s who of directors (William Friedkin, Tobe Hooper, Robert Zemeckis, and more). But the Crypt Keeper was always the main attraction, skewering the characters and their unfortunate choices with ruthless glee.
