But as noted in his editorial in Issue #1, his chief inspiration was the bloody and ironically moralistic tales of the EC horror comics. Jones, a self-described 'child of the 50's', was heavily influenced by the horror and science fiction movies of that decade. Nolan's 'The Party' in Issue # 8, Dennis Etchison's 'Wet Season' in Issue #9, and David Carren's 'If She Dies' in issue #10, which was later adapted into an episode of the 1980's revival of The Twilight Zone), all of the stories in the entire run of Twisted Tales were written by Jones, who had shown a knack for horror a decade before when he was employed as a scripter for Warren Publishing, writing for their Creepy and Eerie titles.
