THE CRYPT OF TERROR NOVEL
A 1970s Style Retro Horror Production
NOW A NOVELETTE OF FEAR
NOW ON AMAZON!
The Crypt of Terror will be the same style of film, using our stop-motion models to
deliver the creature goods. Looking forward to the project and seeing the novelization
bear out the project. In the novella, you will find many behind the scenes shots of the
film.
In the spirit of the Amicus movies Tales of the Crypt and The Vault of Horror, Archeon Media has produced
the tie in novelization of The Crypt of Terror. The two previous novels were written by Jack Oleck, a horror
comic writer who contributed to many comics of the Golden Age. From Wikipedia:
Oleck's comic book career was basically in two parts. During the Golden Age of comics Oleck wrote for EC
Comics and the Simon-Jack Kirby Studio. After the mid-1950s temporary collapse of the industry following
the publication of Fredric Wertham's Seduction of the Innocent and the establishment of the Comics Code
Authority, Oleck left comics, instead writing novels and publishing an interior design magazine. From the
late 1960s until his death in 1981, Oleck worked for DC Comics as a writer for their extensive line of
horror/suspense titles.
In the novel, five book collectors arrive at an abandoned church and meet a mysterious monk, who makes
each person see what will happen if they purchase an ancient tome of supernatural origin. It is designed after
the Amicus horror anthologies of the 1970s, like Tales of the Crypt, The Vault of Horror and Doctor Terror’s
House of Horrors. They employed the most important horror actors of the day.
The Crypt of Terror aka The Terror Crypt is a conscious attempt by Archeon Media to
repeat the appearance of the Amicus films of the 1970s. Archeon Media would like to
employ the use of stop motion animation and minor CGI for the special effects, and
would use the Amicus films as a blueprint for The Terror Crypt and the rest of
Archeon Media's portmanteau films.
