About the series
From 1950 to 1953, EC Comics’ Haunt of Fear brought a distinctly macabre sensibility to the newsstand, with Albert B. Feldstein as its most frequent writer and artists like Graham Ingels, Johnny Craig, and Feldstein himself shaping its grim, twist-filled tales. Anchored by the gruesome trio of hosts—the Crypt-Keeper, the Old Witch, and the Vault-Keeper—the series became a cornerstone of horror comics, pushing boundaries with its lurid, ironic storytelling and atmospheric art. Published by Superior for its 21-issue run, it remains a key artifact of the pre-Comics Code era, celebrated for its influence on the genre’s visual and narrative language.
