Well, how'd everyone make out on Witches' Night? I suppose if you're here and reading this that it worked out okay-- although, there are still ways of getting around the reality of death if you actually do mess with the supernatural. And if you did do some messin' around and lost your head, well, this story is for you-- so be more careful next time, ya ding dong! From the March 1954 issue of Beware #8, art by Myron Fass.

This one is a fun twist on the regular "ugly large henpecking wife" subgenre. Usually, it's a reason for a murder plot but here her attributes actually make her a fine leader for a crypt of ghostly fiends!
Where usually the wife would be nothing more than a macguffin she actually graduates to the boss and does in another treasure hunter! Bravo!
They even give Blake a pretty wife (which he ignores) as if to drill in the point.
Not the biggest fan of Fass who a lot of time seemed to work pretty quick on these, but he turns in a good solid couple of pages, with some good demons and some good facial expressions. Good job for the colorist who never seemed to mess up a transparent ghost.
This one's fun. What's scarier than demons or a henpecked husband's nagging wife? An undead nagging wife WITH the demons! I love how Roger just comes in and casually removes his head in front of George. My favorite panel is on page three, panel 6 where Roger asks if it's okay if he smokes. The image of his severed head just casually smoking is hilarious to me. 🤣🤣I also love the other image of it on page 5, panel 4 as well. The image of Mildred lurching over Roger with an axe is amazing as well. NGL though, that panel where Mildred calls over her demon friends, the little lizard guy is adorable and my favorite!
