THE FACE OF HORROR!

In this crazy story from Stanley Morse's WEIRD CHILLS #2 (Key Publications, September 1954), a comic book writer concocts a story that includes such delightful tidbits of terror as electrocution, a revivified corpse, a werewolf, a vampire and plenty of mayhem and murder. The writer and artist of this morbid story are unknown.

WATCH OUT FOR THE SWAMP MONSTER!

Jack "Killer" Cabot has broken out of jail just before he's to be executed and escapes into a swamp. He comes upon an old house (of course!) and a man invites him in and tells him that he can change his appearance so the law won't recognize him. Then he proceeds to put the bite on him, after which Cabot changes into an ugly beast. Two prison guards end up tracking him down, but not before Cabot has a little accident.

A so-so story is saved by some marvelous art by Basil Wolverton. The slimy monster seen in the splash panel is replaced by Cabot's "pig/ape" in the rest of the story that appears in Stanley Morse's WEIRD MYSTERIES #5 (June 1953).

GOING...GOING...GONE!

What would you do with a liquid that could turn everything it comes in contact with invisible? Just ask the mad scientist working out in his desert laboratory and young assistant who asks the million-dollar-question . . .

Introduced by and EC Old Witch-looking character, "Mind Over Matter" is from Stanley Morse's WEIRD MYSTERIES #5 (June 1953) with art by Ed Smalle. Smalle drew lots of comics, mostly for Archie and DC.

YOU'RE INSANE!

Lust, murder, revenge and yes, hallucinations and insanity -- it's all here in this chillingly weird issue of WEIRD CHILLS #1 (Stanley Morse/Key Publications, July 1954) with a cover by Bernard Baily and a story by the equally twisted Basil Wolverton.

THE CURSED HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

Well, here we are again at the start of a new Halloween season, and what better way to kick off the month here than with a Halloween-themed story.

"Trick or Treat" is from Stanley Morse's WEIRD MYSTERIES (May 1954) and features art by Eugene Hughes. It's the story of a couple that get a little more than they bargained for when they buy costumes for a Halloween party from a weird little shop owner.
