CREEPY #45

[Knygathin]

CREEPY #45 has a nightmarish story called "The Picture of Death". I remember seeing on television as a child alone in a dark room in 1972 a movie that was very similar, with creatures climbing out of a painting. It really unhinged me at the time. But I have never been able to identify it afterwards.

Warren is notorious for lousy or non-existent editing. This at least is funny.

Beautiful art. Thanks for posting! That mag featured the work of some really exceptional artists, starting at the very beginning with the Frazetta covers.

As a kid I was deeply disturbed and frightened when I saw some of Warren's covers, like the one above. I flinched back, because it was simply too much to handle. They were darkly satanic, the vicious straightforward honesty of the 1970s, and had a realistic naturalism that was never the case with EC Horror Comics. EC was more good clean fun.
