You'd go to 3 or 4 different levels in search of skulls and whomever comes back with the most wins. The show was definitely cool for a while, and it was a neat idea but it did suffer from a few problems. 1- The use of the Crypt keeper was limited to him saying random "corpse related" jokes in clips that often got repeated over and over.

Okayyyy now I'm remembering more of it. Was the Skull Duggery part the big obstacle course at the end of the show? I remember at the last stretch, kids sometimes had to crawl through a low passage with something chasing them... oh my memories of this are vague!
Also, unfortunately, the "corpse related" jokes are usually what most horror symbols are reduced to in children's shows. Yeah, it's a good idea for the kiddos because it doesn't make them as frightened, but they at least need some new material! I mean, by all means, keep it rated for the kiddies, but if I hear "boys a ghouls" again, I think I'll plaster myself into a wall and stay there.
