Ghostly Tales #62

Charlton's Ghostly Tales from the Haunted House delivers a deliciously eerie August 1967 package with this issue, featuring a cover by Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio that sets the mood perfectly: a leering, red-jacketed devil-like host gestures toward a crumbling castle perched on a moonlit hilltop, while the translucent, grinning specter of a rifleman looms overhead — all accompanied by the host's sardonic quip that there are "no such things as ghosts." Inside, Joe Gill and Pat Boyette bring their talents to "The Shining Castle," promising the kind of atmospheric horror-anthology storytelling Charlton did so well in this era.
