Thread - In my quest to find out who owns the licensing rights to Tales from the Crypt, I came upon some interesting info on the website for the United States Patent and Trademark Office. I don't understand all of the legal jargon, but it looks like there is an ongoing lawsuit
between the owners of the original comic books and Tales from the Crypt Holdings trying to get the trademark back for "Tales from the Crypt" and "Cryptkeeper". If anyone is good a law stuff please chime in. The case has been going on since 2013 and can be found here:
ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pnam… If this is the case, I believe this is why no one has been able to license anything regarding the original show or the HBO Cryptkeeper. This may also prevent the show from getting a Blu-Ray release or appearing on any streaming services.
I'd love to be wrong, but it may be a good long time before we get to see anything Tales from the Crypt. I will continue to campaign to at least get the show on HBO Max, as they definitely have the money to get pretty much anything they want! #TalesfromtheCrypt
