In May 2021, Crypt TV licenses made their first appearance in a video game, with three characters appearing as third-party downloadable content skins in the game Dead by Daylight by Behaviour Interactive. The company has raised $6.2 million from past investors. In March 2017, Crypt TV raised $3.5 million in funding, led by venture capital fund Lerer Hippeau Ventures, a backer of Buzzfeed. The company was officially launched in April 2015 in Los Angeles with just three employees: Davis, Darren Brandl as Chief Operating Officer, and Kate Krantz as Chief Content Officer. Roth showed the contest to Jason Blum, who was looking for a digital strategy for Blumhouse Productions, and Blum became Crypt's first investor. The contest was featured on Good Morning America and subsequently went viral, receiving over 15,000 submissions. Crypt TV was formed when Davis and Roth launched a "six-second scare" contest together in October 2014, as "a way to test to see if you could really make great scary content in short form on mobile,” according to Davis. The pair kept in touch, discussing how to make scary entertainment effective on phone screens. Jack Davis, who was still attending Duke University at the time, met Eli Roth at a dinner party in 2013.
