Creatures from the Deep

Here's a fun, and oddly to the point, 5-page Farrell tale from the Sept. - October 1954 issue of Voodoo #17 (with art that looks like some of it was done by Iger Shop, while the other half by someone with a completely different style), concerning ancient, massacred spirits returning for a successfully swift, boggy vengeance. Hey, where'd that wacky witch go?!!

Ghoul of Ghost Swamp!!

Time for our third round of "Plas 'n Woozy Meet the Monsters" this month, as we continue plastically pummelin' onward with a super soggy, ghoulishly ghostly, and horrifically humorous entry from the March 1953 issue of Plastic Man #40. And if I've planned out this month correctly, we should have one more action-packed adventure before Halloween hits! CRACK!

Those Tentacles! / Slimes, Slogs and Glumps

The Charlton creeps are eruptin' from the deep today at THOIA, with a nice 'n icky drippy pair-up via the June 1975 issue of Ghostly Tales #106, as well as one from the November 1982 issue of Scary Tales #35 --and both illustrated by the terrifyingly terrific, Tom Sutton too! Things from the murky, lurky depths hold a special place in my heart-- maybe these slimy thingies will hold you in a special place-- in their stomaches! (2nd tale scans courtesy of Holden, thank you!)

Queen of Horror!

Time to wrap up the month of February 2024, as well as our Vampi Horror Host Fest! And this one is also from another early issue of the great black and white Warren series, the November 1962 issue of Vampirella #2 to be exact! Dick Piscopo's art has both good and not-so-good moments visually, but it's a fun story none the less, taking place on various horror movie sets featuring mummies, vampires, werewolves, and even a Creature from the Black Lagoon type swamp monster! THOIA will return in March for mucho more macabre horror hits-- stay tombed!

The Thing in the Swamps!

It's time for a terror packed tale from the shivery swamps of the supernatural! And no, it's not Swamp Thing, because this is Marvel / Atlas. And before you jump the ol ghoul gun, it's also not Man Thing! You know what? Just read the darn thing, already-- you'll see EXACTLY what it is in no time, okay? From the thankfully hero-less, October 1949 issue of Captain America's Weird Tales #74.

The Beast from the Bog!

Keeping this tribute a bit light with a fun little sci-fi horror story written by Dennis O'Neil from the June 1970 issue of Chamber of Darkness #5. Some of you may find it cheesy, but I remember reading it sometime in the mid 70's when I was around 7 and thinking it was pretty neat. R.I.P. Dennis O'Neil.
