If you giggled with glee every time the Cryptkeeper cackled out of his coffin at the beginning of each Tales from the Crypt episode, then you'll likely love Fright Rags' latest limited edition offering: shirts featuring the popular horror show's wisecracking corpse, in honor of Tales from the Crypt's 25th anniversary.

Available for pre-order starting next Friday, June 27th at 10:00am EST and set to ship in mid-August are several Cryptkeeper T-shirts that showcase original artwork.

Here's what Fright Rags had to say about their latest limited edition release:

"25 years ago, Tales From The Crypt aired on HBO and changed horror television forever. For seven seasons, the witty undead Cryptkeeper entertained us with his puns and lurid sense of humor and kept us dying for more.

Today, I'm proud to announce our Tales From The Crypt Limited Edition Collection of shirts to help celebrate its "sliver" anniversary...yes, that pun was intended."
