Tales from the Crypt #35
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "By the Fright of the Silvery Moon!", a man’s desperate scheme to marry a wealthy woman through voodoo dolls spirals into something far darker when he attempts to replace her with a younger bride. Written by Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein, with haunting art by Jack Kamen and bold inks by the same, this chilling tale from Tales from the Crypt #35 (1953) unfolds under the eerie glow of the moon, where dolls hold more than just secrets—they hold vengeance. The cover, a masterful nightmare by Jack Davis, captures the dread before the first page even turns.
In the shadowed heart of a rural American town, suspicion falls on Alec Gedra, a farmer newly arrived from Hungary, when two men are found dead under the silvery moon. His sons, Peter and Edward, know their father is innocent—but they’re not sure who to trust. As the sheriff’s grip tightens and fear spreads, the truth begins to unravel in ways no one expected. The Crypt-Keeper invites you to a tale where the line between hunter and hunted blurs beneath the moon’s cold gaze.
In "Midnight Mess!", a skeptical traveler finds himself drawn into a town where daylight brings quiet and dusk brings dread—after seventeen mysterious killings have left the locals fleeing at sunset. Hungry and wandering after a restaurant closes early, he stumbles upon the very same eatery now open for a late-night clientele he never expected to see. The Vault-Keeper warns of the dangers that come when the clock strikes midnight.
In "Busted Marriage!", the Crypt-Keeper spins a tale of twisted romance and voodoo gone wrong, where a man’s desperate bid for wealth and love leads him down a dark path of dolls and deceit. With a new bride in his arms and a rotting relic from his past still clinging to life, he learns the hard way that some promises are better left buried.
In "This Wraps It Up!", three archaeologists—Dr. Arnold Munson, Professor Thomas Steele, and Dr. Jerome Grabel—unearth the tomb of Pharaoh Ikah-Mu-Kahma, only to find their greed and desperation set in motion a deadly chain of events. As the mummy stirs from its ancient slumber, the line between the living and the dead blurs, and the treasure they sought may be the very thing that seals their fate.
