Tales from the Crypt Keeper: Peter Blake

Published January 25, 2026 by biggayhorrorfan

Peter Blake (Dan Gauthier) proved that you don’t have to be a high-pitched skeleton variant to be a crypt keeper this past winter on Days of our Lives

After kidnapping almost all of his siblings, he hid them away in the family mausoleum, eventually planning to poison them all.

Thankfully, his biological sister Kirsten (Stacey Haiduk) put an end to his reign of terror. Indeed, after being knocked out by the quick-thinking villainess, Blake landed on a piece of human remains. 

Punctured through the chest, he was rushed to the hospital. Waking up for a brief moment, his reign of terror was ended by the DiMera’s faithful Dr. Rolf, who made sure Peter would never bother Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews), E.J. (Dan Feurriegel) or Tony (Thaao Penghlis) ever again.

While it definitely would have been interesting to see how Gauthier would have handled a longer stay in the role, faithful viewers know that in Salem, one never stays dead for very long.
