The Cryptkeeper, who returned from the dead to haunt 1990s audiences with macabre tales, is missing.
A statue of the creepy, bug-eyed skeletal host of the HBO horror series “Tales from the Crypt” was stolen from the Mystic Museum in Burbank on Sunday, according to the museum, which captured the thief on video.
The museum has offered a $500 reward for information leading to the statue's return. Museum officials are asking anyone with information to contact the Burbank Police Department.
“The police are doing what they can,” the museum wrote on Instagram, but they need “the help of the terror community and our friends to spread the word.”
The statue can be seen on security footage being carried by a man to the back of the museum before being placed in a bag and leaving.
The museum opened in 2013 and describes itself as a “hub for horror enthusiasts” in Los Angeles.
John Kassir, the former voice of the Crypt Keeper in the TV series, commented on the museum's Instagram post, threatening the burglar: “I can make your afterlife very uncomfortable,” he wrote.
