The Picto-Fiction magazines lost money from the start, and the line was cancelled when EC's distributor went bankrupt.

As with EC's comics, Feldstein was the most prolific writer of the title, and generally wrote up to three stories per issue.

Feldstein included multiple retellings of previous stories, a move suggested by publisher William Gaines.

This included "The Basket" and "The Gorilla's Paw" in the first issue and "Horror in the Freak Tent" and "Reflection of Death" in #2.
