The so-called 'romantic story' that the host talks about at the beginning of this video was called
"My Ass, My Rules".

@betaraybrad91. The 1950's was full of it, wasn't it?

Bernie sounds a lot like the Milton character from "Office Space."
I wish I had a time machine so I could go back to 1955 and punch the pompous host of this program in the face repeatedly and make him sit down and read some EC comics for a few hours in order to get me to stop. Sorry, I guess the horror comics drove me to that.

today parents beg their kids to read!

Bernie seemed like a real cut up

They tore up thousands of dollars worth of comics in this thing LOL I read that stuff when I was a kid...I didnt have a problem...I actually became interested in the artists and drawings rather than buy an axe and chop off peoples heads. Im 52 and actually began drawing myself and still have a few of those which are 35 years old.

@brandxofttl I don't think Kershner actually supported this anti-comic book shit personally. Besides, the guy is dead too so it doesn't really matter.
Oddly enough, even Dr. Wertham himself (the biggest anti comic book crusader out there in the 50's) later wrote a book in the early 70's called "The World of Fanzines", where he praised the medium.

The craziest part about this? This was directed by the same guy who directed The Empire Strikes Back and Robocop 2. Fanboys everywhere are torn in two.

@LopezMelendez Except for those EC legends that had to accept their fate.
Didn't they think having the children make this film would also put the idea of torturing someone in their minds? Especially since they had them actually act it out.

@pinchiguero1, I'm sure that they still would have found a way to blame even that on comics.

Hi there, My sister-in-law's grandmother appeared in some episodes of Confidential File and she wanted to know if there were more out there to be found.
Thanks

@ragnarok739, Hi! I don't know about any of the other episodes from this series, so I won't be able to help you on that. Sorry.
