action

The Goth (in the US Version Crypti or Cryptkeeper ) tells the audience one or two scary stories in each episode, which, unlike those from the Real series, always have a happy ending and a moral punchline, such as " Never judge others by their appearance "or" Who digs a pit ... "ends.

While Goth tells these stories alone in the first season, in the second season he is usually stopped by the horror witch (in the US version Old Witch ) and the Vault Keeper so that these two can tell their own stories.
