10 Horror Comics That Prove Not Even Reading Is Safe

10. Elder House

Elder House is a tragically short comic that mixes Cthulu-esque mythos and haunted house legends like a pro baker would ingredients for a cake. Given it's only 50 or so pages, it would’ve been easy for the whole to turn out formulaic, but Elder House still manages to present some unusual twists and turns in its Paranormal Activity type shenanigans.

For dyed in the wool horror fans, Elder House does also have a secret benefit: it is crammed full of endless horror references. From The Shining to Cloverfield, there are countless allusions and head nods to films and books that have provided us nightmares and heart palpations since their creation.

As such, the only criticism of Elder House is that at points it is perhaps more a love note to the horror genre than a horror in its own right. That said, it still contains an ending that more than makes up for this, so it’s still very much worth a read.
