Crypt of Shadows #11

In "The Hands of Murder," a young woman is tormented by the chilling sensation of an invisible hand choking her—convincing her her late sister has returned from the grave. Her psychiatrist dismisses her fears as delusion until a routine X-ray reveals a horrifying truth: a skeletal hand is indeed gripping her throat from within.

In "Vampire Brats," a new nurse takes a job at an infants' home where something feels off about the babies—too still, too quiet, their eyes just a little too dark. When one of them attacks her, she flees in terror, only to be told the home she worked at has been abandoned for years. Back on her feet, she takes a babysitting job, but soon realizes the child she’s watching is no ordinary little girl.

In "The Brain!", a deranged Nazi scientist, condemned to die, escapes execution by having his head preserved and kept alive in a hidden lab—where, with the help of his loyal assistant, he plots to rule the world from beyond the grave. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this chilling 1974 tale from *Crypt of Shadows* #11 delivers a grotesque, suspenseful horror with a sinister mind outliving its corpse.
