My favorite from the 3 is obviously What's Cookin. I always get a kick how to reading the old EC Comics, but a great many people don't realize Tales from the Crypt was an actual comic series.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04160796491701816742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-59845010061231404032016-12-14T15:43:26.630-08:002016-12-14T15:43:26.630-08:00Thanks, Jordan!

I saw the sequel at the Union Drive In in Union, NJ, in the rain, so the windshield wipers kept getting in the way of the big screen!Jack Seabrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216640325305820140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-17763416349553415262016-12-12T15:49:30.390-08:002016-12-12T15:49:30.390-08:00What a great issue of The Haunt of Fear!

I completely agree about the performance of Peter Cushing in the film version. It's one of his most emotionally powerful performances and, for me at least, it's easily the finest segment of that great horror anthology. <br /><br />Interesting thing about the Amicus film is that the producers (presumably) didn't have access to the original issues of the magazine at the time of production on the Crypt film and instead developed the film based on the Ballantine paperback reprint volume that appeared in 1964 (titled simply Tales from the Crypt). Every story from the film can be found that book, which pulled from all three EC horror titles, though I don't believe an editor is listed. Incidentally, the title of the Ballantine paperback which reprinted some of the EC science fiction material was Tales of the Incredible. Ballantine also put out a Vault of Horror volume (though the producers don't seem to have relied upon that volume in the same way) and a couple volumes of the Bradbury EC adaptations, one horror (The Autumn People), one science fiction (Tomorrow Midnight). Great job as always, guys!JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14808904189056290207noreply@blogger.com
