The Night of the Mummy!

Thought I'd give ya's something else a little more grandiose action / adventure oriented today, and never fear-- there's plenty of horror elements included to keep you monster kids happy as well! Lamont Cranston, aka The Shadow finds himself wrapped up in another weird, sinister situation with an epic mystery involving a murderous, unstoppable mummy! Denny O'Neil's script is fast paced and fun, and Frank Robbin's atmospheric artwork is awesomely suited to the thrills and chills! From the Dec-Jan 1974 issue of The Shadow #8 (check the THOIA Archive for another great Frank Robbins horror tale about a vampire vixen by clicking HERE!)

The Improved Kiss

Here's a preview for you from the new HAUNTED HORROR #6 issue-- a grandly epic, gruesome, gory tale that originally appeared in the November 1953 issue of Weird Terror #8, art by Marty Elkin. Hope everyone is enjoying the series so far, if you're having trouble finding copies in your area, please drop me a line.

HAUNTED HORROR #6

Don't miss the latest issue of pre-code horror classics from IDW / Yoe Books hot horror series-- it's HAUNTED HORROR #6! In stores Wednesday September 4th, and featuring the blogosphere's favorite horror host MR. KARSWELL (me!) on the cover! A preview story coming in our next post!

Bride of Satan

Flash Forward to the satanic 70's, and here's an evil classic conjured up by George Kashdan and Vicente Alcazar for the December 1974 issue of Witching Hour #49. Also, for anyone looking for HAUNTED HORROR #6 this week (as incorrectly reported), it'll actually be in stores next week on Sept 4th!

Blood on Her Lips

Even the typically revolting print job on today's Superior Publishing story can't hold back the ferocity of a woman out for blood! From the January 1953 issue of Journey into Fear #11.

Terror of the Cat-Men

We're still in Meow Mode this month with a furry, freak-out, feline classic from the February-March 1952 issue of Dark Mysteries #5. Classy 'n sassy Doug Wildey art on this one too-- ENJOY!

That Stray Cat

Today's story was originally slated to appear in Adventures into Darkness #15 in 1954, but thanks to the Comics Code this issue never happened. Fast forward to October 1985 and Eclipse Comics unearthed these unfinished pages in their Three Dimensional Seduction of the Innocent #1... also check the THOIA archives for the other stories in this "lost" issue: "Death Dives Deep", "Harvest of Death", and "Tryst with Terror!" (The usual Standard Comics bonuses and text tale fill out the ends of each post.) And don't worry, you don't need 3D glasses for any of these either.
