5. The Crypt Keeper
Tales from the Crypt is one of the most influential and successful horror comics of all time. And the Crypt Keeper is up there in the pantheon of iconic horror hosts. Near the top, in fact.
Cryptie is the most memorable of EC’s three main horror hosts by a long shot. The Vault-Keeper is fun and the Old Witch is well designed, but neither of them hold a slowly burning candle in a long dark hallway to our boy, the Crypt Keeper. Honestly, he’s way more memorable from the television show that bears the name of his comic book, but his actual comic book appearances are instant classics.
The perfect blend of sarcastically funny and hauntingly creepy, Cryptie tells his stories with a sense of charm and wit unseen in other horror hosts. All of his appearances are personality-loaded as hell.
He is a pretty solidly great little ghostie, and one we won’t soon forget.
