The Crypt Keeper
Background
The Crypt Keeper is a psychopomp for souls condemned to Hell.
During the events of Tales from the Crypt (1972) played by Ralph Richardson
The Crypt Keeper suddenly appears in a room and when Joanne, Maitland, Elliot, Jason and Rogers start asking him questions, he tells them they will have their answers "all in good time". He has them sit down and asks Joanne why she came to the crypt. After her story, Joanne starts to tell The Crypt Keeper she had no intention of, but then trails off. The Crypt Keeper then questions Maitland about his plans. The Crypt Keeper accuses Maitland of being in a hurry to leave his wife and children and when Elliot accuses The Crypt Keeper of playing games with them, Elliot's story starts. Elliot admits to The Crypt Keeper that he doesn't like Grimsdyke. Jason asks what he is doing locked in the crypt and The Crypt Keeper tells his story. Rogers walks up to The Crypt Keeper and demands to know what Jason saw. The Crypt Keeper tells Rogers he should heed his warning and another story begins. The Crypt Keeper tells them they may go and the door they entered opens once more. Jason walks to the door and The Crypt Keeper tells them they are there for not repenting for their despicable sins. Jason then falls into a pit of fire and the others get up and walk to the open door to meet their fate.
