dbpprop:abstract
  • The Haunt of Fear, Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror are three bi-monthly horror comic anthology series published by EC Comics in the early 1950s. The Haunt of Fear hit newsstands with its May/June 1950 issue and ceased publication with its November/December 1954 issue, producing a total of 28 issues. The title was popular, but, in the late 1940s and early 1950s, comic books came under attack from parents, clergymen, teachers and others who believed the books contributed to illiteracy and juvenile delinquency. In April and June 1954, highly publicized Congressional subcommittee hearings on the effects of comic books upon children left the industry shaken. With the subsequent imposition of a highly restrictive Comics Code, EC Comics publisher William Gaines canceled The Haunt of Fear and its two companion titles in September 1954. All three titles have been reprinted at various times since their demise and have been adapted for television and film.
