This overall comic feels disjointed from the story to the art.  The major gist of the story is easy to follow...

Writer: Dan Wickline
Artist: Massimiliano Veltri
Colours: Fran Gamboa with JC Ruiz

As a group of Hollywood hopefuls films what they hope to be deal-maker film, things take a sudden turn for the worse, leading to a gripping tale that shows what can happen when an novice film team attempts to push the envelope and things go terribly wrong.

In the traditional style of many “tales of horror/terror” series, this story draws its inspiration from ubran legend. Initially, I didn’t think I was going to like the book, but after a few pages, it grew on me a little bit. Coming into the series on the fifth issue won’t prove to be a problem to a reader, as the tale works well enough as a standalone story...

The power of invisibility has long held appeal for man. To disappear and do whatever you want unseen by another person’s eyes…could any man turn that down? The newest volume of Tales of Terror answers that very question…and terror is the operative word in this story.

We’ve all at least heard of the tale of the Invisible Man in one medium or another. Of the many powers that you could have, invisibility is definitely one at the top of my list. In the first issue of volume three, Grimm Tales of Terror puts a new invisible face on the H.G. Wells classic.

After taking part in an experiment, Tom takes the money and goes right back to his gambling. Later that night though, he realizes the invisibility experiment actually worked...

It is ingrained in our minds to be wary of strangers. Travelers often tell tales of hitchhikers with sinister intentions. In this spin on a classic urban legend, a hitchhiker in desperate need of a ride may find himself in for more than he bargained for in this twisted tale from Zenescope Entertainment.

Wait, we’re supposed to be wary of strangers? You mean I shouldn’t be running towards the van for free candy? I supposed I also shouldn’t be picking up random people on the road. Is that why hitchhiking is illegal? Or is it because of things that happen like we see in Grimm Tales of Terror Vol 2 #11.

This latest Grimm horror introduces us to a traveling salesman, who after seeing someone in the road ends up crashing. On Route 66 of course...

Every town has one, that creepy abandoned house that kids dare each other to explore. Some say that it’s infested with ghosts, while others talk of a horrible crime that was committed there, but what if those stories were true and that house was truly haunted?  Find out in this twisted tale from Zenescope!

Zenescope’s sole marketing strategy consists of slapping a half-clad female on the cover of each comic issue, regardless of relevance to the story contained therein. So imagine my flip-take inducing shock when, gaspedy-gasp, the cover of Haunted House depicted…a haunted house! Even the B-cover, while only slightly affiliated with the narrative, contained two elements actually present in the story: a scared child, and a scary monster...
