The Thing That Walked At Night

Here's a weird one for ya, a day late (of course) for Werewolf Wednesday, and from the same issue as our last double header post of stories-- the Winter 1953 issue of Ghost Comics #9-- with wild 'n wooly art by one of Fiction House's most dynamic art duos, Bill Benulis and Jack Abel!

The Devil Seeds / Monster Fang!

We'll stick with Fiction House's freaky Ghost Comics series for a few more rounds, and like our last post, we have another superbly illustrated story (aka The Little Farm of Horrors) from Johnny Bell (aka John Belcastro), highlighted by his beautifully bold line work which, at times, seriously rivals the likes of Nostrand or Davis. Plus, an eerie bonus quickie with art by Jack Abel, both from the Winter 1953 issue of Ghost Comics #9. The incredible cover art is by Maurice Whitman.

Who Called Us Back?

Awesomely atmospheric art from the great Johnny Bell highlights this super spook spectacular from Ghost Comics #7 (1953), as we kick off a monstrous month of March Madness 'n Murder 'n Mayhem and many more things that might make you midwich cuckoos really go over the edge!

Wedded to a Witch

The weird, blasphemous sounds of wedding bells ring out one last time, as we finish up our month long excursion into haunted horror love stories. We hope you had a maniacally romantic time, haha... today's wicked tale is from the August 1952 issue of The Beyond #14, with art by Bill Molno.

Death's Bridal Gown

You're not getting off that easy with just one weird wedding dress post this month! And this one from the February 1953 issue of Adventures into Darkness #8 just might actually out-weird the previous one-- see what you think! Also, you chemical experts are encouraged to weigh in on the plausibility of one climactic detail. PLUS! A fun crossword puzzle from the same issue rounds out the post!

Bridegroom, Come Back!

Getting this Feb love-in back on track with one from Steve Ditko and the July 1954 issue of This Magazine is Haunted #18... apologies for the delay, I had a rather rough, exhausting week of physical therapy.

Terror of the Vampires Kiss

Like an undead bloodsucker creepin' out of its grave, we're keepin' the love alive around here for a few more V-Day inspired posts, so pucker up and get ready! And okay, I'll admit up front that this story actually holds no real twist ending surprises (no big deal though it is pretty great none the less), but what today's post does possess is a rather refreshing lead male character who, --unlike the typical monster pummlin' macho manly men we find in these types of supernatural terror tales-- is actually just a big 'ol screamin' weenie pants! From the June 1952 issue of Mysterious Adventures #8.
