![]() ![]() I loved those comics – the illustrated equivalent of a fire-side ghost story – and never realized that they were watered down by the Comics Code Authority until much later, when I finally got to see copies of Tales From the Crypt and Vault of Horror. ![]() Instead, I associated the movie with the more pallid horror comics that DC put out in the 70’s – The Witching Hour, House of Secrets and House of Mystery. I think they were out of print at the time, or only available via expensive hardcover reprints. When horror was fun AND creepy.īack when Creepshow was released I hadn’t actually seen any EC comics. It has a certain kind of ghoulish glee that I associate with a childhood love of monsters, horror movies and trick or treating. Creepshow was a staple of Halloween in my teens – one of those films that always got rented (if it was available, that is) around the 31st. ![]()
