Tales from the Crypt #18

In "Oil's Well That Ends Well!", a pair of con artists scheme to sell fake oil rights to a small town, only for one to fake his death and bury himself with the stolen money—unaware that the cemetery’s soil is actually rich with oil. When his partner digs him up, a careless cigarette drop ignites the trapped gas, leading to a fiery surprise neither expected. The Vault-Keeper warns that greed can turn even the ground beneath you into a bomb.

In "Attacks of Horror!", the Crypt-Keeper spins a grim fairy tale of King Moneymad, a ruler whose insatiable greed drives him to tax his people for every imaginable thing—until even their thumbs are not safe. When the peasants can no longer pay, their desperation ignites a rebellion that turns the king’s cruelty against him in the most visceral way.
