Hike Into Horror! Part II
November 1st, 2008 by Tyler
Click HERE TO VIEW THE CARTOON. On this night, the dead creak and shift in their graves, the Vampires sharpen their teeth, the witches polish their caldrons, and the WereHetros prowl the premises of Hooters… This story was adapted from a 1950 “Vault of Horror” comic book. A lot of people don’t realize that the entire horror and crime comic genre was wiped out by the U.S. senate in 1954, who blamed violent comics for delinquency, a lot like video games are fingered today. The Comics Code Authority was created at this time, which dictated that Good had to be shown triumphing over Evil at all times, no profanity or violence, and so on. It relegated comics to a neutered status until the mid-sixties, and stunted their growth into adult fare for even longer. These days however, I’m allowed to show body hair and boobies, such as in this offering….
Ian carries a revolver?
Well, he’s deathly afraid of moths, you see…..
^ I can relate to that *scary moths*
Hmmm…Tyler, you wouldn’t happen to have seen or heard of a very bad (grade Z) horror movie called “Curse of The Queerwolf”? This story line reminds me of it, except instead of straight men turning into raging drag queens, it’s homos turning into raging breeders…..
No, but it sounds like a fun watch. I bought the “complete collection” of the 50’s E.C. horror comics, and one of them had a story called “Werewolf”, which I played with and twisted to make this concoction.
