Tales from the Crypt #32

In a wartime town where hunger and desperation run deep, a butcher known for his questionable cuts finds his reputation—and his life—hanging by a thread. When his son dies after eating tainted meat, the grief-stricken wife turns the butcher’s own tools against him, transforming his shop into a grim monument of justice. The Crypt-Keeper invites you to witness a tale of betrayal, where the true horror isn’t the meat—it’s what’s served up in its place.

In "Roped In!", three construction company co-owners—Donald Morgan, Ellis, and Buckley—face a nightmare when their plane becomes entangled in a vast, hidden web during a flight through a mountain pass. As dawn breaks over the jungle, they realize too late that they’re trapped in the deadly web of a monstrous spider, their escape now a deadly game of survival. The Vault-Keeper warns that some debts are paid in blood—and this one’s just begun.

In "Cutting Cards!", two bitter gamblers, Gus Forney and Lou Crebis, settle their rivalry with a twisted game of chop poker—where each wager means losing a limb instead of a garment. With their personal doctors on hand to tend to the wounds, the stakes rise higher than ever, pushing the men to the brink of ruin… and beyond.

In "Squash...Anyone?", the Old Witch sets the stage for a chilling tale of betrayal and retribution in a circus world where trust is as fragile as a tightrope. When a jealous elephant trainer orchestrates the death of his wife-assistant to marry his lover, the past comes crashing back when both the murdered woman and the elephant she was tied to rise from the grave—seeking justice in a town that once watched in silence.
