My Son, the Mortician

We visited a casket company in our previous post HERE, so how about today we stroll down to the 'ol mortuary, and head straight back into the embalming chamber where an even fussier issue has potential to end the family business-- or does it? From the May - June 1977 issue of The Unexpected #179.

Sorry, This Coffin is Occupied

Time to add a chilling premonition to the cremation style summer heatwave we're currently locked in, so let's head down to the Cavendish Coffin Company and see what all the fuss is! From the Dec. 1977 issue of The Unexpected #182.

How to Win a Witch!

What would you do if you won a supernaturally powered redhead? I hope you have a better plan than 'ol lame brain Lester here, but also maybe there's a lesson or two to be learned from all of this macabre madness, as well! From the December 1972 issue of The Witching Hour #26.

Cry in Car 13

Here's something different for you, from the October 1973 issue of The Witching Hour #35. And similar to an emotionally fueled episode of The Twilight Zone, we discover that sometimes man can be just as monsterous as anything supernaturally charged with evil. But is it horror?

Beware the Snare of the Tarantula

Found a spider in my attic last night which reminded me of the fantastic fright film classic, The Fly (1958), but it also reminded me of this downright shiver inducin' creepy crawly chiller from the May 1975 issue of Witching Hour #54. The art is by Jess Jodloman which isn't a name that rings many bells around this blog, --I'll absolutely have to rectify that immediately as this is some of the spookiest post code horror I've seen around my own sector of the web in quite awhile...

Beware the Sea Hag / The Old Hag!

It sure wouldn't be a Valentine's Massacre at The Horrors of it All without a couple of horrible old hags hangin' around here and lousin' up all the hearts 'n huggin' action. Take for example this horrendous Atlas tale of bad lovin' gone extra hilariously hideous, from the December 1952 issue of Mystery Tales #6. But first up, we'll take a lovely little boat ride out to sea, --to see how luridly love sick our sea sickness can be! From the May 1981 issue of Secrets of Haunted House #36, and yep, it's a double beheader today, one golden, and one silver --and trust me on this one, folks, it doesn't get much juicer than this! And fyi, both tales were written by Carl Wessler! Neat to see him spanning nearly 3 decades with high quality, haggish horrors!

I Die Too Often

Atlas Tales calls this one a "stark electric chair story" and they're totally right. With a taut script from Carl Wessler and even tauter art from Gil Kane, this one's a real shocker!

From the March 1953 issue of Adventures into Terror #17
