EMO Films has signed a deal to adapt classic EC Comics horror titles into movies and television shows, reports Reuters.

The titles included in the deal are Tales From the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, Weird Fantasy, Shock SuspenStories and Two-Fisted Tales.

Joel Eisenberg and Timothy Owens of EMO have formed a division with EC publisher William Gaines's daughter Cathy Gaines-Mifsud and his grandson Corey Mifsud.

The most recent EC adaption was the 1990s Tales From the Crypt TV series.
