I was rummaging through Zombos' closet last night and came across this set of Rosem's Midnight Madness trading cards, acquired in 1990. The box set is made up of six delectably creepy and morbid stories written by Steven Kiviat, with each illustrated by Alfredo Osorio in suitably mordant colors.
As an additional treat, the box itself opens into a wonderfully frightening pop-up cemetery scene. The six stories are Shroud of the Undead, The Surgeon, Robot Killer, Jungle Parasite, The Pharaoh's Revenge, and Desert Rats.
those are AWESOME

Yes, kind of schlocky, but very stylish in doing it. It's a motif you don't see much anymore, but it encapsulates the essence of horror/terror so well.

Those are incredible. They remind me of the old Roger Corman-style poster art. Very neat find.
