I would also consider the Sandman series, because if I have a chance even consider more Neil Gaiman in any top 10, its instant top 5

I was going to say the same but I would also say the Hellblazer section could cover most of the Vertigo>DC Black Label books like Sandman, Lucifer and Books of Magic (because Gaiman is basically a king in DC's supernatural line of books)
These use to be bigger then superhero comics Horror Comics
Honestly I get it, but American Vampire is still an amazing horror comic and I recommend it to any and all

Give same actor as Constatine från arrowverse in HBO MAX he is the one that fits so perfect. I loved his 1 season on the character.

DC/WB has screwed up every non-animated version of Constantine. They managed to turn Swamp Thing into a soap opera and they made Constantine unwatchable.
I was surprised not to see somethings killing the children on this list. Hands down its one of the best horror comics being written today. And it just one of the best modern comics especially the original run of the series.
i love john Constantine one of my favorite characters from dc
Man i want to read some swamp thing comics right now.
My dude approached every book on this list with the vibe and energy of a battle rapper and I dig it.

@@christianalexander579 yes it is. The creators Len Wein & Bernie Wrightson said it was also Alan Moore has said the same thing. Scott Snyder has his run on Swamp Thing was a horror comic. Just about every writer & artist has said Swamp Thing is a horror comic.
Used to read House of Mystery and House of Secrets as a kid. Along with Weird War Tales.
I really enjoyed the Beasts of Burden series. They even did a crossover with Hellboy.
I think that the Spawn's comics are quite fitting horror comics
Berni Wrightson is definitely one of the best Horror comic book artists. His art for Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is probably his best work imo.

THE Best Horror artist and one of the best comic artists ever.
Horror movies don't always come out at Halloween, so someone could make a horror comic in any month, i could try that with Bradula.
2:34 These witches kind of remind me of the witches from left4dead 2
Shout out to THE HOUSE OF MYSTERY and VAMPIRELLA as Honorable Mentions
My favorite horror comic will always and forever will be tales of the crypt
For me, I´ll say: 1. New 52 Animal Man. 2. Black Hand #1 (New 52 Green Lantern # 23.3) 3. DCeased 4. Blackest Night
Recommendation: Junji Ito collection
I'm surprised that Vampirella didn't make the list. It's a comic classic. Also (and I am definitely embarrassed even referencing this comic) What about Evil Ernie! I mean that comic was a mess, but it at least deserves an honorable mention!
How could you not have House of Mystery and House of Secrets
Marvel Zombies is my pick for number one
Hellboy. Hellblazer (Vertigo). Swamp Thing (Vertigo). Wytches. Sandman. My top 5 horror

Does he actually have that extensive of a history? All I remember him for was getting plugged by Punisher in Civil War then getting his body possessed by the devil and then the devil in his body getting whooped by Ghost Rider
can we *please* get a Blue Marvel video? & maybe a Ghost Rider 2099?
Didn't know Tales of the Crypt was a comic I only know about the show
Yall should have put Hack/Slash but i like all. Of them
you could have mentioned Vampirella had her start in the Eerie series as well an honorable mention since she too had started as a horror comic back in the day as well as published by the same company as Eerie and Creepy
You forgot to mention that Blade first appeared in Tomb of Dracula.
I've read some of those and agree how great they are and I loved that show growing up tails from the crypt keeper watched it ever day after dinner when I was a kid
Thanks for the nostalgia shot, Arris! Tales from the Cryptkeeper was that jam on a Saturday morning
Gotta give a shout out to my personal favorite horror comic series, Nailbiter! It's fantastic!
Excellent list. I couldn't imagine a better one. Congratulations.
I think swamp thing and morbius my favorite characters
For me Constantine hellblazer Hellboy Swamp thing Spawn American vampire Blackest night
No mention of Garth Ennis's THE CROSSED? That wins my vote for best Horror comic.

Next you should do a Scariest Superhero comics list
Can you do history of the Justice Society of America and the Seven Soldiers of Victory?
Sick vid, deserves more views 💯
Ohhhh yeahhhh!
This was a good episode dude I really like all those picks 👌 one of my favorite titles right now would have to be Nocterra bt Scott synder that shit is creepy 😯🤙🏄 keep up the good work
I would love to see a video about comics for beginners. Like good starting points
Hack/Slash is on my top 5. 👀 I also love the fact that The Tales from the Crypt landed on his list. Dude got good taste. 😌
I love the wall behind ♥
Gideon Falls deserves more love, it’s beautifully terrifying and has a amazing plot.
2:41 That is high praise, and quite impressive. Anyway, my favorite characters from this list are Constantine, Swamp Thing, and Hellboy. Additionally, I also enjoy The Walking Dead, and agree that the first 4-5 seasons were the best.
I hope that the comic known as 'Wytches' will be an (Live-Action) film someday in the Years of 2023 or 2024. Don't you agree with me?
Can we get a "adam warlock" history
I never really read Horror Comics but I remember when I was a kid I seen this movie call creepshow and it was made by Stephen King and George A Romero and it resembled a lot of a comic of all the colors and comedy and I always liked it. It was creepy and fun, Tom savini did an excellent job on Make up designs
Like myself some horror
What a great list. I'm a huge tales from the crypt fan. Love it so much I bought the pinball machine too. Thanks for the great lineup to read. Subscribed!
Something is Killing the Children and Nailbiter are both GREAT!!!
Batman the last knight on earth is a very dark comic
Love your videos
I'm a simple man, I see Swamp Thing & Hellboy: I click. Also at 3:52 it's Constantine (pronounced 'ai/y') ! Rhymes with fine & there are other writers as gr8t at horror as King (case in point, Junji Ito)

Hey there's another Batman the long Halloween special comic book that came out this week can you guys do a breakdown of it
I’d say that night of the living deadpool is the best horror story Even though it isn’t a horror comic
my favorite horror comics would be Larry Hama's runs on venom because of how terrifyingly bad they were
Awesome
Wow, it's great 🙏
Junji Ito stuff is I feel a standard for horror comics.

Uzumaki and Gyo are good but his one shots are terrifying I also enjoyed Venus in the blindspot

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?
American Vampire should have made the list
@andrewlind3731

I agree. It was an amazing series
Should have put Vault of Horror and Haunt of Fear at number 1 as well. They're all basically the same.
The fact that Harrow County was not on this list is a tragedy. Cullen Bunn has made some great modern Horror titles.
Let's goooooo!
Next do a top 10 sci fi comics!
I love this genre
Almost agreed fully with this list but you missed out on Blade and Ghost Rider
Yeeeeeesssss!!!!!!!!
I'd have put hex wives and exorsisters on my list but very solid
Nice
Some others I think should have made the list are From Hell and Uzamaki
No Army of Darkness? No love for Ash.
Tales from the crypt was my childhood the HBO show, cartoons , Saturday morning games show all of it
Your list is sound. But you left out one little detail in the Tomb of Dracula, it's also the title that debuted Blade
Solid list. The only change I would make is putting tomb of Dracula at number 3.
Hack slash is a great one.
You should do a video on EC comics
Can you do history of the Elementals, Cyclone and Sandman along with Kurt Conners the Lizard, Electro, Rhino, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Morbius, Alistair Smythe the Ultimate Spider Slayer and Loxias_Crown AKA Hunger?
You should do a history or lucifer morningstar from dc comics since he’s the devil
Right on time for Halloween 🎃 this list is perfect by I know I have said this before but I’m going to say it again I like your venom shirt. Eddie Brock venom is one of my favorite marvel comics characters and I am beyond happy that Eddie Brock is the new king in black/god of the symbiotes.
I like the list. I would add nailbiter
The Dark Horse Book of Horror is my favorite collection of horror comics. Amazing lil tome.
I really dug Nameless, by Grant Morrison & Chris Burnham
It took me years to read FROM HELL but I did it! Better that the movie. *snort*
Sooooooo yall just not gonna talk about how SUPERBOYS DEATH in young justice S4 EP4. Like BROOOOO, its so sad yo
FINALLY !!!
I’m surprised you didn’t include Creepshow
I would put on the list spawn and immortal hulk.
Wow, I'm not sure where they'd go on your list, but I'd say DC's "House of Mystery" and "House of Secrets", hosted by Cain and Abel should have been there, if only as an honorable mention. (No offense to DC's "Forbidden Tales of Dark Mansion" and "The Witching Hour".) Also "Vampira"! I'm old enough to remember, and have enjoyed, when they were coming out in the late 60's and 70's. (And no, my parents never objected - who do you think was driving me to the comic shops... though my mum did raise an eyebrow at Vampira.) Also, I think honorable mention should go to Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman." (A favorite story of mine was actually "The Brave and the Bold" #93 from 1970 written by Denny O'Neil and drawn by Neal Adams, in which Cain explains: "So he's inside the castle... and a castle is a house... and since he doesn't know what he's getting into, it's a mystery... So, in case any of you don't get it... The Batman is in The House of Mystery!") As always thank you so very much for the video.
If it wasn't for the Tomb of Dracula, we weren't have Blade because he first appeared in issue 10 1973 by Marv Wolfman & Gene Colan.
Love Constantine...
Please review ultramega!!!! It is so good and you’ll love it!!!!
4:04 Hey it's me!
Cool
Will you be doing a video on morbius? 👀
