Must-Read Indie Comics for Halloween

by Matthew Russell - Posted 6 days ago



Welcome my CryptoComics Compatriots! Time for a scare!!!

The nights grow longer, and an eerie stillness settles over the world as Halloween approaches. In this season of shadows, our darkest fears begin to stir—and there’s no better time to lose yourself in the bone-chilling depths of our Horror Genre.

Here, the line between the living and the dead blurs, and every page turn beckons something more twisted, more terrifying than the last. If you're ready to be unnerved, unsettled, and horrified, let’s step into the abyss together. 

Just remember…once you enter, there's NO going back.

Can you tell that I was listening to a lot of Thriller while writing this? I (for some reason) decided to try using different colors on the headings here, not sure why. Comment if you like it, or if I should give that up and stick with the standard Black and white.

Unearth the Horrors: Featured Frights

As the season of chills and thrills approaches, there's no better way to embrace the Halloween spirit than by diving into these terrifying tales. Each of these haunting comics is available for you to read right now, perfect for those looking to get lost in spine-tingling stories that echo the eerie atmosphere of the holiday. 


Whether you're huddled up by candlelight (that's how I like to read my horror comics) or daring to read in the dark, these tales will immerse you in the kind of horror that fits perfectly with the season of frights.

HELLBRINGERS


First on our unsettling tour is Hellbringers by the wickedly talented Mark May. In this demon-fueled epic, Hell itself has declared war, and only the bravest (or most foolish) would dare stand against it. 


The artwork claws at your senses, while the story drags you down into a pit of despair where redemption may just be a myth. 

TWISTED TALES



Next, we have Creepsi Twisted Tales #3 by the master of the macabre, creepsicomic. This anthology is not for the faint of heart. Each tale is more warped than the last, plunging you into a world where sanity is a fleeting concept. 


These stories twist the familiar into something grotesque, making you question the safety of your own surroundings long after you’ve closed it.

FERAL TERRA

For those who think the terror ends on Earth, think again.

#1 by Baztwistedmind takes us into the uncharted territories of a world gone feral. Survival is brutal, and every moment is a fight for existence. 


The horror here isn’t just about monsters—it’s about the savage nature lurking in all of us. Brace yourself for a post-apocalyptic nightmare that feels all too possible. I must say, I had to read this in smaller chunks. It was just too unnerving…even for me. I love it!

JOHN SAUL PRESENTS



But the horror doesn’t stop with original nightmares. John Saul Presents Omnibus brings the twisted genius of John Saul into the world of graphic novels, delivering classic horror with fresh, vivid terror. 


Each page is a descent into psychological torment, where the fear is both palpable and personal, reminding us why Saul has haunted our imaginations for decades.

CLAW AND FANG



Not all monsters come with claws and fangs, but the aptly named Claw and Fang #1 by TidalWave reminds us that the oldest fears are often the deadliest. Combining myth and primal terror, this story sinks its teeth into you and never lets go. 


The haunting artwork pulls you into a wilderness where the line between beast and man blurs—and it’s terrifying. I personally can’t get enough. 

RAZE

Lastly, we have the brutal and uncompromising Raze #1-4 by Tre and Sam Willis, a blood-soaked series that rips apart the boundaries of horror. In this story of vengeance and survival, the very fabric of life is torn asunder, and the thirst for revenge drives the narrative to new depths of depravity. 


Each issue pushes you further into a nightmarish landscape where death is not the end—it’s just the beginning.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

So, fellow Compatriots, as Halloween looms and the veil between the living and the dead thins, why not explore the dark recesses of CryptoComics' Horror genre? Each comic is a gateway to a world of terror—one that lingers long after the final page is turned. 


But a word of caution: these stories have a way of crawling into your mind, where they’ll stay, festering, long after the lights have gone out.


Are you brave enough to face the horrors within? We’ll see you on the other side. 


But beware, my CryptoComics Compatriots, for the midnight hour is close at hand. Creatures crawl from the inkwells of the damned, and in every panel, horrors await your trembling hands. The moonlight fades, and as the shadows rise, so do the tales of terror from the depths of our collection.


You feel the chill, but it’s too late now to turn back. With every page, you’re drawn deeper into the macabre, where no reader can resist the fright. You’ll be haunted by these tales, long after the final frame fades to black...


For no mere comic can survive... the Horror of CryptoComics.


Sorry, I went full “Thriller” mode again at the end.
