[IDENTIFICATION HELP] Crypt Keeper figure in robes holding a PlayStation game book — promotional item?
Hey everyone! I recently found this Crypt Keeper figure in my collection and I can't find any information about it online.
It appears to be the standard "Ace Novelty 1994 Crypt Keeper (Robe)" figure, but with one major difference: the book he's holding is open and features "real PlayStation 1 game covers" inside (visible titles include what appear to be PS1 horror/action games).
It also comes with a separate skull accessory on stone.
Details:
- Approximately 20-25 cm tall
- Resin/vinyl construction, hand-painted
- Grey hair, brown robes
- Book with PS1 game covers
- Skull accessory
- No visible brand markings found
This makes me think it could be a rare Sony PlayStation promotional item distributed at gaming events or as press gifts in the mid-to-late 1990s.
Has anyone ever seen this variant before? Do you have any information about its origin or value?
TFTC finally Streaming!
I really hope this means we finally get restored episodes on high quality (please).
Well it only took 100 years! ALL SEVEN SEASONS OF TALES FROM THE CRYPT will be streaming on SHUDDER starting May 1st, 2026!

All this Tales chat with Shudder getting the rights made me want to show my collection!
MISSING TALES FROM THE CRYPT IMAGE
Do any DIE HARD Fans have this image of The 2 Headed Ogre from the episode Korman’s Kalamity in the quality of these other photos from the same episode? It is not an original drawing from Mike Vosburg but revised by him for the episode. Not to be confused with the original by Jack Davis which is image #4! All photos are here, but the first 2 images of the comic book prop is the image needed. Thanks Fiends, Boils and Ghouls
Tales fron the crypt coming to Shudder!
Tales from the crypt coming to streaming for the first time ever on Shudder starting May 1
First Time Ghosting Here
Binging the series and just got to Death of Some Salesman. Iconic and remember it fondly from watching it as a kid!
How was the show able to become available on Shudder?
Looking at the announcement article it looks like Tales From The Crypt Holdings has been re-established and now consists of Walter Hill, Robert Zemeckis, Lauren Shuler Donner and Hal Sadoff. Joel Silver is not involved due to leaving all of his companies. I'm curious if the Gaines estate is involved and what caused them to change their minds and make the show available again.
What are everyone’s favorite episodes?
For me I’m an occasional watcher. But I grew up with them and a few left enough of an imprint that I remembered them by title)
- Cutting Cards (Favorite all time no questions asked)
- The Switch (2nd favorite hands down)
- Television Terror (A great tribute to paranormal horror)
- Strung Along (Iconic for me because of the effect it had on my brother when we were kids he was afraid of clowns)
‘The Crypt Keeper’ Artwork
This was a personal project of mine that I finished recently. Tales from the Crypt is one of my all-time favorite shows so I decided to do an illustration of The Crypt Keeper. I made this using alcohol markers, colored pencils, and a gel pen on Bristol board.
