'''Diablo House''' is a horror comic written by Ted Adams, illustrated by Santeperez and published by Creator/IDWPublishing.

An AffectionateParody of the horror comics of old, the comic takes place at the titular Diablo House, a mysterious building in La Jolla, California where every room has a story about someone who went down a dark path. Presenting these stories to the audience is a SurferDude named Riley, who is always eager to inform the reader of the house's history.

The series ran for four issues.
