* {{Spoonerism}}: In "Sharon Sharalike," Katie says her father is in a place called "Yew Nork." It's unclear if there is an actual city called Yew Nork in this setting, or if Katie, being a little girl, just stumbled over her words.

Removed per thread.


* AnAesop: Each episode usually ended with one. This as taken further in the third season (thanks to new FCC rules calling for more educational TV shows for kids), to the point where it became {{Anvilicious}}.

An animated spin-off of ''Series/TalesFromTheCrypt'' from Canada’s Creator/{{Nelvana}} studio that ran for three seasons. The first two were on Creator/{{ABC}} and Creator/{{YTV}} from 1993 to 1994, the last on Creator/{{CBS}} and Creator/{{Teletoon}} from 1999 to 2000. Unlike its live-action counterpart, ''Cryptkeeper'' usually had kids as the heroes in its stories; therefore, most of the stories had to lack blood and gore, with a horror factor that was more akin to ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'' and usually having AnAesop. During the second season, the show brought in Cryptkeeper's co-{{Horror Host}}s from the comics, the Old Witch and the Vault Keeper, who would usually try to steal the spotlight away from the Cryptkeeper.

* WholePlotReference: It's subtler than most examples of the trope, but the premise of "Unpopular Mechanics" (electrical appliances come to life to take revenge on a kid who mistreats them) seems to have been inspired by the ''[[Series/TheTwilightZone1959 Twlight Zone]]'' episode "[[Recap/TheTwilightZone1959S2E4AThingAboutMachines A Thing About Machines]]".

* ArtifactTitle: ''Hyde and Go Shriek'' has a completely different plot from the original comic, which was about a con man and a girlfriend fleecing the latter's eccentric employer by pretending to create a potion to turn the employer into his idol: Edward Hyde himself, only for it to turn out that the potion actually worked. The episode instead is about the tables being turned on a trio of bullies when their victim takes a concoction and becomes a werewolf. There is a mouse named "Dr. Jekyll" in the episode, but other than that, the title has less meaning than it did originally.

* OffModel: This happens often during the first two seasons, though moreso the first than the second. Common issues consist of either flickering colors in areas or, as can be seen during "This Wraps it Up" and "Game Over", parts of characters getting cut off just before the edge of the frame.
** "This Wraps it Up" is also of notably lesser quality compared to the rest of season 1, with characters' faces getting distorted quite often.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Almost every story from Season 1 save for three are adapted from ''Tales from the Crypt'', ''Vault of Horror'', and ''The Haunt of Fear'', with Season 2 and onward using original stories (save for "Drawn and Quartered").
