CURSE OF THE CRYPT KEEPER |
OVERVIEW
Universal wanted to put a face to its very popular Halloween Horror Nights. They enlisted the services of the wisecracking horror host, The Crypt Keeper. The Keeper took some time away from his hosting duties on the HBO show Tales From the Crypt, to oblige. The likeness of The Crypt Keeper would be used to help sell and market the event. He would be plastered all over advertisements, merchandise, billboards, and even the park maps. The Horror Nights "Icon" is born.
