"Grounds... for Horror!" is a chilling tale from Tales from the Crypt #29 (1952), a standout story written by Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein and brought to life with masterful dread by artist Graham Ingels, whose stark, haunting visuals elevate the dread from page to page. When a corrupt banker’s secret hobby of keeping spiders lands him in trouble with a blackmailing teller, the night takes a deadly turn—both in the bedroom and the sky—before the swamp itself claims its due. The cover, a grotesque and unforgettable scene by Jack Davis, captures the story’s macabre tone perfectly.
