3D Werewolf Poster (1978)

Lurking in the mix of random Dynamite Magazines I picked up recently, I found this loose 16x20, 3D werewolf poster from Scholastic, dated 1978, with art by Neal Adams. Not sure which issue it's from exactly though, does anyone know?



Wanna buy the original art? It's available on eBay for quite a bargain HERE! And for more frightfully, fun Scholastic Magazine monsters via Dynamite, click HERE!

The Eyes of Madam Jahn

Another tale of vengeance from beyond the grave, and also from the April 1952 issue of Fantastic #9 (see our previous post as well), and while it's a bit uneven in both story and art, it does contain a few incredibly eerie moments for sure, not to mention possible use of Myrna Loy photo reference at the bottom of page three. Art by Vince Napoli.

Queen of the Shrunken Heads

Here's a fast moving, grimy jungle gem of horror where the ugly American does some ugly stuff and thankfully gets what is coming to him in a wonderfully ugly manner. From the April 1952 issue of Fantastic #9, art by Harry Harrison and Ernie Bache.















Hang tight... we'll do another one from this issue UP NEXT!

Dinosaur in Grandfather's Barn

Here's a fun little tale for you fans of freaky dinosaur driven action and drama (like Valley of the Gwangi and especially Beast of Hollow Mountain), about a spunky city kid finding way more than he ever b-b-b-bargained for on a visit to the c-c-c-country! From the F-F-F-February 1952 issue of Youthful's Fantastic #8, art by Henry Kiefer.

HAUNTED HORROR #34 IN STORES NOW!

HAUNTED HORROR #34 is in stores now! Full of cannibals, murderers, vampires, and more! If you need a couple of creeped-out story examples from this great new issue then please click HERE or HERE or even HERE!



And FYI: THOIA (and AEET) will return shortly, I'll also be posting that long awaited follow-up Dick Ayer's Ghost Rider story we promised here a few months back. Apologies for the delay, but a much needed vacation combined with endless technical difficulties has put blogging a bit low on the priority pole lately. But never fear, we're still here... stay... tombed...

Death Came Calling / A Web for Her Wedding Dress

Double Feature Day at THOIA with a couple of spooky kooky back-up quickies from the original supernatural 50's Ghost Rider comic series-- our first atmospheric entry comes from the August '52 issue of The Ghost Rider #8, followed by a hairy scary creeper from the May - June '53 issue of The Ghost Rider #12. All awesome artwork by Dick Ayers of course!















UP NEXT: THE GHOST RIDER!

Shadows of Death

As promised, here's another fright-filled fight against creepy, reekin' crime-- from the March 1954 issue of Fight Against Crime #18. The Poe-esque story concept and freaky deeky art by Jon D'Agostino is made only more bizarre by the occasional off-register coloring here which seems to somehow add to the spooky shenanigans! Maybe put on a pair of 3D glasses and see if anything extra eerie happens...
