Haunted #19

Charlton's Haunted #19 (December 1974) delivers a genuinely unsettling cover by Pat Boyette — a translucent, ghoulish figure rises in the foreground, its decayed face and tattered shirt rendered in eerie bluish tones, while massive tentacles coil menacingly at the bottom of the frame. Behind it, two men on a darkened staircase recoil in unmistakable terror, one clutching a lantern that barely holds back the shadows. Inside, Pete Morisi handles the full creative load on "The Unholy!," making this a tightly crafted entry in Charlton's dependably creepy horror anthology line.
