The Readthru – Haunt of Fear Part 1 [Schlockmania]
E.C. Comics clearly had faith in their line of "New Trend" horror comics from the jump because they launched a third title one month after the first issues of Tales From The Crypt and Vault Of Horror. Haunt Of Fear followed the same format as its predecessors: four self-contained horror stories, usually introduced by ghastly hosts who laced their storytelling with plenty of macabre puns to let the reader know that the stories were all in grisly good fun. These tales would soon become known for their gory punchlines but the early issues are a bit more restrained with their displays of grue.
