Basket Case inspired by Haunt of Fear?

I recently downloaded all of the Tales from the Crypt comics, as well as its sister comics, The Vault of Horror and The Haunt of Fear.

The fourth issue of The Haunt of Fear from Nov/Dec 1950 contains a story called The Hunchback. In it, a hunchback is accused of being a ghoul. By the end, we find out the real ghoul is his "hump", which is actually his deformed siamese twin. Not bad for 1950.
