Based on the legendary and gruesome EC Comics from publisher William Gaines, this horror anthology featured stories of murder, the super natural, gore and humor and always had a twist ending of sorts.

It even includes the EC Comics logo on its cover--used with permission, of course--and is now beginning to gain a following from a broad spectrum of readers. Each issue features two 20-page tales of terror in the EC tradition, narrated by the original , , and .
