Hunger Pains!

I hope everyone enjoyed the week of true crime horror, but who's hungry now for a mealtime mix of monsters and the  macabre? This tantalzin' tale of terror by Myron Fass and from the December 1954 issue of Journey into Unknown Worlds #32 should whet your weird lil whistles wonderfully...

One Man’s Poison

Wait a sec... did some of you think the previous post was the big 'n weird Thanksgiving wind-up? Not blood-drainingly likely! No sir, that was just the 'ol un-appetizer-- because today we have something much more deadlicious planned for you! And guess what? Like the previous two posts, this tantalizing turkey of a tale is also from the December 1953 issue of Mysterious Adventures #17 (you HH Heads might even remember it from when we reprinted it in Haunted Horror #3 way back in 2013!) I really do hope you can stomach this story though, cuz the ending might leave ya feelin' stuffed --for allllll eternity...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Satan's Cellar

Everyone was so smitten by the uplifting spirt and happy ending of the previous post, I've gone way way out of my way to find another tale that was just as positively sweet and full of family friendly fun. So, tell me if I've chosen wisely, dearest THOIA followers, for your pleasure is my one great desire. From the December 1972 issue of Skywald's Nightmare #10.

The Secret One

Okay, time to get August 2023 goin', and let's kick it off with a weird Jack Katz monstrosity-- one that dines on the fresh flesh of the dead! I seriously hope you've all finished your breakfast. From the Oct '52 issue of Out of the Shadows #6.

Some Die Twice

If you've been paying attention, the last three story posts have all been from the June 1954 issue of Dark Mysteries #18, and todays A.C. Hollingsworth illustrated tale is no different. In fact, it's been a while since we've had a full issue presentation around here, so let's finish up this 4 course banquet of cut-up corpses, vampire creeps, and (now) cannibalistic brutality! We even have a great Hy Fleishman cover! Hope everyone had a terrific time with this one, maybe we'll do another in Dec! 

This House is Haunted!

I was bettin' you guys 'n gals would all dig more Atlas tales this month, and I was correct! So let's keep it goin' with another gruesome one from the February 1953 issue of Mystery Tales #8 (see the previous two posts as well), highlighted by even more terrifyingly top notch artwork from eerie Ed Winiarski.

The Sewer Keeper / The Some-Thing

If the stress of the holidays have left you frightfully frazzled and eerily exhausted, then maybe what you need right now is to kick back with a good lurid laugh-- yes, a GET LOST double feature might be just what the horror host ordered! First up, from the April - May 1954 issue of Get Lost #2 is a hilariously gruesome satire of precode horror comics (EC to be exact) guaranteed to satisfy your atrocious little appetites-- followed by a chillingly hysterical parody of John W. Campbell / Howard Hawks, THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD, from the June - July 1954 issue of Get Lost #3. Not to get too serious, but I'm a bit surprised at myself for having never posted either of these kookball classics here at THOIA over the years until now. Enjoy!

The Garcon / The Silly Sorceress

It's a day early, but we're still serving up this horrifically silly, holiday Double "Eature" for Thanksgiving 2019 anyway, and boy oh boy, it definitely doesn't get much more so than these two doofy dishes! First up, an encore presentation of the totally insane, The Garcon, (which originally appeared here at THOIA way back in 2008), and from the March 1954 issue of Weird Mysteries #9. It racked up over a dozen comments back in the day and I thought it time to reheat it once more for those of you that might have missed it-- or even for those of you that require seconds! Followed by a cute lil turkey huntin', pilgrim in pretty peril, tale of the stupernatural, from the Winter 1954 - '55 issue of Phantom Lady #5. Happy holiday everyone, and as always-- remember to eat irresponsibly!
