Mild-mannered comic book artist Howard Korman (Harry Anderson) finds his gruesome monsters literally leaping off the page to wreak havoc on the real world, thanks to a potent dose of experimental fertility pills given to him by his unfaithful wife Mildred (Colleen Camp). As his terrifying creations cause chaos across town, harassed detective Lt. Phelps (Cynthia Gibb) investigates the supernatural rampage.

Set in a Victorian-era travelling freak show, a cruel side-show proprietor (Lewis Arquette) exploits a mute, severely deformed man named Enoch (Jeff Yagher) alongside a 4,000-year-old mummy. When a mysterious, ancient curse begins to manifest around the carnival, the horrific secrets behind the Crypt Keeper's very own lineage start to unfurl.
