HAUNTED HORROR #8 / Unsleeping Dead

HAUNTED HORROR #8 is in stores this week, featuring a gory assortment of top notch precode terror tales, and this issue is seriously jammed to the gills with witches, aliens, ghosts, decapitation-- whew!-- as well as today's incredible Lou Cameron tale, originally presented in the November 1953 issue of The Beyond #23 (and originally presented here at THOIA waaay back in August 2007 too!) Get a sneak peek look at another great selection from the new HH issue HERE!

Two for the Money

Some guys have all the luck! And let me tell you, it's definitely NOT the guy in our next story... read along as this poor slob gets every little horrific thing that he totally freakin' deserves. From the October 1954 issue of Mysterious Adventures #22 --and featuring Bill Savage pencils!

Insane!

I've posted a number of tales here at THOIA over the years with the same "Insane!" title as this one, but never one from this particular Story Comics series-- the October 1954 issue of Mysterious Adventures #22 in fact! Art credits go to Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, with a chilly cool cover from the great Hy Fleishman! I'll have more from this crazy ass issue over the next few posts, so hang on tight-- things are gonna get even more insane, I guarantee!

The Ghoul of Ghost Swamp

We've just put another FULL issue to rest here at THOIA! Yes sir, todays tale from my crumbling, water-logged copy of Web of Evil #13 is the final entry (check the last 3 posts for the other stories) --and as we start a whole new month of posts while winding down 2013, you know there's lots more on the way! Keep it tombed right here for THE BEST precode horror tales on the web!

Prehistoric Beast

The third petrifying entry from the April 1954 issue of Web of Evil #13, pencils by Louis Ravielli, and as you have probably guessed by now I am indeed posting the entire issue-- see the final cover story in our next post which kicks off a chilly December-load of shivery spine tinglers. See ya in a few!

Timepiece of Terror

Here's another one from the April 1954 issue of Web of Evil #13 (see the previous Demon Inferno post too.) This is an all 'round good issue with some wild stories, so I'm contemplating posting the entire issue. Unfortunately, this is one of the worst condition comics in my collection, it's heavily water damaged and very brittle, hence why I rarely ever remove it from its bag and board. If you're interested in seeing the remaining two stories let me know, otherwise it's going back into its coffin. Okay, GCD has no artistic credit listed for this one, but there are some definite Jack Cole-esque moments scattered about-- I wonder if he had a hand in this at any point? Anyone got any clues or doubts to throw about?
