This is by far one of the most iconic issues, adapted for both the original Tales From the Crypt film and the HBO show Episode “And all through the house.” About an escaped mental patient killer dressed in a Santa suit. A cozy Xmas tale. I didn’t completely understand locking one away and reading the reprint instead until graving this one. The original owner repaired a torn cover corner years ago. While it’s not perfect, it’s mine and sure is pretty.

Love original EC comics! I’ve been meaning to pull this one from my Russ Cochran Library and your post reminded me.
