Most EC-Esque Episodes

Which episodes of the show to you most feel like the EC comics they're based on? In terms of things like lighting, camera angles, atmosphere, etc? For me some of the most EC-like episodes:

Korman's Kalamity
Fitting Punishment
The Secret
The Thing From The Grave
'Til Death
Dead Right
Abra Cadaver
House Of Horror
The Reluctant Vampire

To name a few, I'm sure there's others I'm forgetting. Seems Season 2 has the bulk of the EC-like episodes. They definitely made more of an effort that season to replicate the style and visuals of the comics. Dead Right in particular visually is very much like the old comics but also with it actually set during the 1950s (when the comics were out) only adds to the authenticity.

Mournin' Mess was very close to the original comic story it was based on, and had a very classic EC feel as well.
