Tear Jerker / Tales from the Cryptkeeper

Go To

  • The ending of "The Weeping Woman", where the titular ghost finally reunites her daughter and their tragic backstory.
    Camille: So, tell me!
    Mildred: It was the teddy bear. It belonged to her daughter.
    Camille: No wonder she went gonzo when she saw it. (tears up)
    Mildred: (wipes her eyes) They'd been separated ever since the ship went down.
    Camille: And that's why she was weeping! The mother here…
    Mildred: …And the little girl at the Curio Shop.
    Camille: (sniffles) But what made you put it together?
    Mildred: (tearing up) I-I had a feeling… but there was also the crying in the shop, and this.
    (Mildred shows Camille the old photo of the mother and daughter, revealing that the daughter was holding the teddy bear, and both of them start to cry)
    • Cut back to the Cryptkeeper in his balcony, and even he's crying over the ending.
  • In "Cold Blood, Warm Hearts", a woman tries to convince everyone at the town meeting to consider preserving the creature. But the townsfolk would rather listen to the local hunter's easy solution and ignore her. Defeated, she weeps to herself. Even sadder once you know the plot twist: she's afraid they will kill the only one of her kind besides herself.
  • In "The Works ...in Wax", Craig wonders to William why Mr. Rottmucker's wax museum has undergone new rules all of a sudden. William becomes somber all of a sudden, and he says to himself he forgot. He tries to tell Craig the bad news, but he can't bring himself to say that Mr. Rottmucker has passed away.
