It's been quite a week for fans of 1990s nostalgia.

A few days after The CW said it would bring back sketch comedy show MADtv for a prime-time run, TNT became the second network to go to the TV graveyard, quite literally in fact.

Teaming up with M. Night Shyamalan, TNT has greenlit a 10-episode revival of the horror anthology series Tales From the Crypt, based on the original EC Comics, complete with a brand new Crypt Keeper.

The anthology series will anchor a new Tales From the Crypt-branded horror block of programming for the Turner network, which is slated to premiere next year.
