Part of the EC Classics line from Russ Cochran, it reprints tales known for their twist endings and macabre artwork from the 1950s.
In "Reflection of Death!", Al wakes after a crash on a desolate road, disoriented and injured, only to be met with terror by every soul he encounters—each reacting in horror to his appearance. As he flees from one grim encounter to the next, seeking refuge in a forgotten home and a friend’s house, the world around him twists into something deeply unsettling. Then, in a single, chilling moment, he sees his own rotting face in a mirror—only to wake... just as the headlights return.
In "Last Respects!", Tony, consumed by grief and obsession, keeps vigil in Anna’s mausoleum after her death, clinging to the memory of their secret marriage. Trapped in the tomb with her corpse and a grotesque carnival prize, he endures a harrowing month of isolation, surviving on rainwater and the fading remnants of his sanity.
In "Seance!", Alan Bitsby challenges a medium to summon the spirit of his late wife, determined to expose him as a fraud—only to find the spirit appears with chilling precision. As the séance unfolds, the medium enters a trance and seemingly calls forth Mrs. Bitsby, leaving Bitsby stunned and triumphant. But when he returns home, he finds her dead, and the truth begins to unravel in ways he never expected.
In "Voodoo Death!", two men who survived a forbidden ceremony in Haiti are haunted by a chilling return from the past. After Bill receives a mysterious package containing a voodoo doll that comes to life, he and Jay face a terrifying reckoning—one that forces Bill to confront a truth far darker than he ever imagined.
In "Bats In My Belfry!", a deafened actor seeks a bizarre cure from a reclusive healer, agreeing to a radical procedure involving a bat’s senses. What begins as a desperate bid for normalcy soon spirals into something far more unsettling as his hearing sharpens—and with it, strange, animalistic changes take hold.
In "Midnight Snack!", Duncan Reynolds finds himself caught in a surreal loop after a late-night craving sends him wandering through a strange, dreamlike world where hunger leads to horrors he can't explain. From a grotesque restaurant to a cemetery where the dead aren't quite dead, each step deepens the mystery—until the line between nightmare and reality begins to blur.
In "Scared To Death!", a man marries Jo for her uncle Alex’s fortune, then pushes her into helping murder him—only to find her guilt weighs heavier than he expected. As he grows bored with her sorrow, he plots to eliminate her too, but Uncle Alex has a surprise in store.
