Greetings Boils and Ghouls, it's officially Spooktober month here on the podcast and we are celebrating with a whole month of creepy Canadian animation. For this week's episode, Chris and Sylvie ponder what would happen if you took a campy, gory, salacious HBO show and....just kind of take all that good stuff out and marketed it to Canadian kids. You get the ill-fated kiddified version of Tales from the Crypt, now know as Nelvana's Tales from the Cryptkeeper. Between the digs at the atrociously cheap animation and the ruminating over the doomed endeavor of repackaging adult entertainment for kids, your hosts talk a bit about horror media intended for young audiences, the legacy of the EC Comics inspired franchise, and a kick-ass episode where the actual Grim Reaper dunks a basketball. Plus: We settle the age old debate of whether or not Ingmar Bergman's Seventh Seal would be a better film if it centered around hooping instead of chess and namedrop CATS (2019) because why not?
Episode covered is Episode 19 "Dead Men Don't Jump!" Original airdate October 15th, 1994.
