Vault of Horror (1950) 35

“…And All Through the House” is a psychological thriller that begins with a Merry Christmas Eve’s murder and ends with jolly just desserts.

The story was later adapted for HBO’s highly acclaimed Tales From the Crypt anthology, but for purists reading the original as told by the Vault Keeper is a pleasure. EC served up a real Christmas treat that year with the premier issue of Panic sporting a seasonal sacking of Twas the Night Before Christmas.
