About this episode

John Kassir discusses his career and role as the Cryptkeeper in this interview episode.

Hello boys and ghouls! For August, the Halloweenies are celebrating the legacy of Tales from the Crypt, now streaming on Shudder and Tubi, with several themed episodes. What better way to kick it off than with the Cryptkeeper himself: John Kassir! The iconic voice behind the bone-breaking host speaks to executive producer/cohost Michael Roffman and Vanity Fair writer Andrew Buss about his curious meteoric rise to fame and how he ended up collecting cobwebs in the Crypt. This was recorded in July 2026 at Creep I.E. Con Aftermath. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
