A history of adaptations of the beloved, twisted horror comics.
By Diana Prince · @kinky horror · April 29, 2021, 3:29 PM CDT EC Comics THE CRYPT OF TERROR.
Heh-Heh! I see you re horror-hungry again, boils and ghouls! Prepare your stomachs for another savory serving of screams! From our cauldron to your molting minds, it s a tasteless taste of history, seasoned with the most delectable ingredients: gore, ghouls and gags!
In the Fearsome Fifties, EC Comics satiated our appetite for the atrocious and rotted the brains of a generation. While the company went defunct in 1956, its lurid legacy has survived through the years. Famous fans such as Stephen King and R.L. Stine constantly spread the good word about EC, and the original yelp-yarns have been reprinted many times over. HOWL-ever, I d argue that the secret to EC s longevity has been the numerous adaptations that have graced the screen, both small and silver.
