Will probably be absolutely terrible. Tales had a sort of campyness to it that made it fun to watch. Shamalamadingdong seems the type to make it too serious.

It's my favorite show of all time by far, based on the also excellent EC comics of the 50's, which I grew up reading. I also love the 1972 film and the various ofher Amicus productions that were horror anthologies inspired by those type of comics. I also really enjoy the first two spinoff movies from the show, Demon Knight and Bordello of Blood. Ritual wasn't very good though, unfortunately. Sooo many great episodes from the series that I never get tired of watching.
But this revival looks awful. I'm glad they decided to cancel it because it would have very likely lacked the charm of the original, which was so much fun and such a blast to watch. What little we saw of the new version looked way too serious and generic. Plus John Kassir wasn't returning? Screw that!
So here's what they should do now. Instead of reviving this show without John Kassir, they should make a brand new show with the same format but call it Vault of Horror. That of course would pay homage to the 50's EC comic of the same name, which was the sister publication of Tales From the Crypt. Have the Vault Keeper be the new guide, replacing the Crypt Keeper. And possibly have him voiced by David Hemblin, the same actor who voiced him in the Tales From the Cryptkeeper cartoon. The Vault Keeper would now host the show and introduce each story while making jokes along the way, but be an entirely new personality with traits that make him unique from his predecessor. If they get John Kassir back as the Crypt Keeper, call it Tales From the Crypt and make it a complete return to form but if not, call it Vault of Horror with the Vault Keeper. That would be so awesome.
