crypt keeper
Vault's eternal watchman
A crypt keeper is someone who maintains a crypt—an underground burial vault, typically beneath a church.
The term gained pop culture currency from the horror host character in *Tales from the Crypt*, making it a joking reference to anyone who looks ghoulish or ancient: He emerged from his basement office looking like the crypt keeper.
