Tales from the Crypt #5

Plot

Think the new TALES FROM THE CRYPT is too tame? Not gruesome enough for bloody-thirsty fans? Well, check out this issue’s twin tales of women wronged! A player named Louis picks on the female in New Orleans’s French Quarter– and ultimately winds up conscious as his body rapidly decomposes in “Ignoble Rot.” A drug dealer wired for sound (his cell phone is built into his skull), is responsible for a childhood friend’s fatal overdose. He shows up at the funeral and shamelessly seduces the deceased’s sister, and that’s when things really start to get nasty in “Crystal Clear.” All this, plus the horror hosts with most—bad puns, that is!
