The Old Hag

It's been a bit since we had ourselves a kreepy Krigstein klassik. So fly that freak flag high, you way-out weirdos, this witchcraft laced sideshow oddity comes from the June 1952 issue of Adventures into Terror #10, and is guaranteed to tie you and your nightmares into a nutty 'ol tangle of knotty nots!

Pawns of the Pit

Apologies as we missed our Werewolf Wednesday slot by one day-- but here it comes a'creepin' now, snarling savagely and with ferocious fangs ripping flesh! This is actually a really fun entry from the great "Ghost Gallery" sector of Jumbo Comics (#161 from July 1952 to be exact), and features wonderful art by legendary EC hero / fan favorite, Jack Kamen. It also includes a couple of very unique lycanthrope moments, lyke-- did you know werewolves can't cross a stream of spilled wine?! Plus, a wild, spiraling transformation panel done in a way I've never seen before as well-- "OOOAAAHHEEEE!"

The Possessed

If our previous post HERE left you feeling a little repossessed, then maybe it's time to get re-repossessed! And while I'm not exactly sure if what I just said actually makes any sense, I do know this terrifically twisty tale of rotten romance, via the May 1975 issue of Ghostly Haunts #44, is absolutely loads of freak-deaky fun. Winnie the wanton Witch re-materializes once again to host the chillin' chain of horrific events, and ohhh my, how spooky is that superb Sanho Kim cover painting?! Plus: Blondes! Brunettes! A redhead! It's funny! It's frightening, --and every bit exciting! Did I mention that a distant cousin of The Creech even swims by for a creepy cameo? Damn, this crazy story really does have everything..

Shock Ending / The Exorcism

Here's a joltin', revoltin' idea-- let's kickstart the new month of posts with a shock ending! And not just any shock ending-- but a SHOCK ROCK ending, to boot! If Kiss, Alice Cooper, and King Diamond were dead, they'd be rollin' over in their graves right now! And if that opening Su Gumen number ain't electrifyin' enough for ya, let's end it all once and for all with a humorous Wayne Howard exorcism encore! From the October 1975 issue of Ghostly Haunts #46, as well as the fright-filled February 1976 issue of Ghostly Haunts #48.
