I love Tales From the Crypt. I have for my entire life ever since I saw the Crypt Keeper bust out of a coffin the HBO series being rerun on the USA network (ah, memories).
Later I found out they made junior novelizations of stories featured in even older comic books.
Those books…
Listen: people really latched onto fairy tales but I missed that boat. I wasn’t raised with actual morality tales with violent repercussions of missteps - I was raised on Disney.
So a comic series that had moral lessons framed in horror where people got their just desserts was… well, it was awesome.
And I think if people wanted to try to trace back my love of philosophy and ethics, it would start right there with TFtC.
It was also a really interesting part in comic book history because it basically inspired the witch hunt from lazy parents looking to blame an external source for their kids being dickheads. Which led to *shudder* Silver Age comics. Goofy stuff.
Anyway, I guess they rebooted the TFtC comic and I was really excited to read it.
But then I read it.
Yeesh.
I don’t know what’s so hard about morality tales. Almost every story feels more like it belonged in Mad Magazine, not a horror comic.
There is one exception. One story that actually had teeth, but it was a weird duck.
The premise was that a guy was being tormented over and over in the afterlife because (it turns out) he was a suicide bomber and the victims in the bus he blew up get to deal with him for eternity.
So I guess the moral is don’t blow up a bus - or at least not while you’re in it as well.
As much as I love TFtC, this feels like a big swing and a miss.

I'm so glad #eccomics is back! Here's an illustrated tribute I drew, inspired by the classic horror tales found within that mag. #horror #comicart #comicbookcover
DOOR 08 - All Through The House
Behind Door 8 is the Amicus movie Tales From the Crypt and a scarifying seasonal tale from the legendary EC Comics, All Through House which see Joan Collins menaced by a psychotic Santa!

“Comic Books Banned in Detroit as ‘Corrupting’” — The Washington Post, 1948, when somewhere between 80 and 100 million #comics were being sold monthly https://hyperallergic.com/366028/banned-horror-comics-back-from-the-dead/ #horror @bookstodon #ECComics #bannedcomics
You can't deny how good these things still look today — Johnny Craig's cover art for The Vault of Horror, No. 18 (1951). A "slow craftsman" says The Paris Review: “I was supposed to do three stories a month. I was lucky if I did one" https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2020/10/29/how-horror-transformed-comics/ #horror #ECComics #comics #books
Awash in publicity, the hearings and resulting Comics Code established exactly 70 years ago effectively crippled then-thriving studios. Publishers killed titles deemed disagreeable and sent their staff home. Suddenly hundreds of #comics professionals in the late 1950s would never work in the medium again — My 2017 @hyperallergic piece on the day's banned #horror and crime comics: https://hyperallergic.com/366028/banned-horror-comics-back-from-the-dead/ #art #comicshistory #ECComics
