Only took one day for me to stop giving a damn about this. That's gotta be a record!

I am pretty interested in this. I like M. and I think that he gets way too much shit. Avatar was a lame kid show and became a lame kid movie. Most of his stuff before that was good, and so very few of them had twists. Avatar was a good kids show, which he completely fumbled up and made into a terrible film. If it's not your cup of tea that's fine, but to pretend that it's only a bad movie because of the source material is just naive.

Then shouldn't you pick a different name then The tales from the crypt comic had several "hosts" The Crypt-keeper The Old Witch and the Vault Keeper even the crypt keeper didn't look like "the crypt keeper" the book Crypt keeper looked like this they even say the host is going to be an old man in a hooded robe with a cane... which as you can see pretty much describes the Vault Keeper. What does sound off is that it is not an anthology show and is a season long voodoo story.

Night because of Avatar either. He was way on the decline at that point.

Agreed. This went from must watch to not going to bother. The Crypt Keeper is what makes the show, and not the comic one but the creepy skeleton puppet.

If this does actually end up happening with no Cryptkeeper puppet, this will bomb real hard, real fast.

I didn't, clearly the source material changed but the only people who ever complained about it were adults. Any kid that I know enjoyed it.

I loathe every form of AHS after the first season. So I'll probably take a pass on this if that is indeed what they're going to do.

Nice idea but, Tales from the Crypt with no Cryptkeeper and no HBO freedom won't work without someone amazing in charge. M Night Shymalan is not that guy. I realize he's not been as bad recently as he's known to be but, that still doesn't mean this won't bomb.

To paraphrase Mr. Plinkette: "Why is M. Night Shyamalan still getting working in movies and tv and not working as a janitor some place?"

I realize he's not been as bad recently as he's known to be but, that still doesn't mean this won't bomb. Honestly, I think it could work with the Vaultkeeper type guy they are talking about. The biggest problem I see is that it's not an anthology show... going against both the comics and the original show... so it's not really TaleS from the Crypt... and since it's talking about the keeper warming himself by the fire it sounds like it's not a crypt either... so I guess it's Tale from the fireside...
