    Here are the pre-code titles that ran only one issue (by publisher):

    Ace
    Challenge of the Unknown #6

    ACG
    The Clutching Hand

    Avon
    City of the Dead
    The Dead Who Walk
    Diary of Horror
    Eerie Comics (the 1947 version)
    Night of Mystery
    Phantom Witch Doctor
    Secret Diary of Eerie Adventures (contained 4 unsold comics in a new cover)

    Baily
    Spook Comics (usually not counted as horror, but I think it qualifies)

    EC
    Three-Dimensional Tales From the Crypt
    (Three-Dimensional EC Classics was non-horror)

    Quality
    Intrigue (Web of Evil reprint)

    St. John
    House of Terror (3-D reprints)

    Trans-World
    Mysterious Traveler Comics (some don't consider it PCH)

    Ziff-Davis
    Eerie Adventures (dropped after legal action from Avon)

    And a few questionable examples:
    Ajax/Farrell
    Voodoo Annual (not really a one-shot, 3 unsold issues in a new cover)

    Comic Media
    Terrific #14 (this was actually just Horrific #14 retitled, Overstreet lists a #6 but that was called Wonder Boy on the cover and only called Terrific in the indicia and was a superhero comic)

    Fawcett
    Unknown World (not really a one-shot as it was retitled Strange Stories From Another World with #2)

    Worlds Beyond (ditto - retitled Worlds of Fear)

    Premier
    Horror From the Tomb (ditto - retitled Mysterious Stories)

    Toby
    Tales of Terror #13 (actually the last issue of Tales of Horror, retitled)

    - Anti-Atlas Guy

    I have City of the Living Dead and Fawcett's Unknown World... I believe I've posted one story from Horror From the Tomb, I'll have to dig it out and see if there's anything else worth putting up.

    If anyone would like to contribute anything else from Anti's list please email me.

    Night of Mystery was really bad, as I recall. Knockoff stuff.

    It turned into an episode of Lassie in the middle. Anne was trapped in the old mill and faithful ghost Kent led Dr French right to her.
