Haunted Horror #11
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Witches Come at Midnight!", a desperate candle maker pushed to the edge by poverty and heartbreak turns to grave-robbing to keep his failing trade alive—only to awaken something far older and hungrier than he ever imagined. Drawn with eerie precision by Jim McLaughlin, this haunting tale from IDW’s Haunted Horror series blends gothic dread and moral decay in a story that lingers long after the final page. The cover, a chilling collaboration by Warren Kremer, perfectly captures the creeping unease of a night when the dead may not stay buried.
In "The Witches Come at Midnight!", young Joel faces the nightly terror of supernatural forces gathering at the old Rainey farm, where shadows move and dread hangs thick at midnight. When the creatures attack him one fateful night, his loyal rooster Peter steps in—his sudden crow sending the witches fleeing, convinced he’s the legendary Chanticleer.
In "Hallahan's Head!", J.V. Fletcher’s greed drives him to hire a native witch doctor to eliminate his partner, Hallahan, on a remote Brazilian rubber plantation. When Hallahan’s severed head returns to haunt Fletcher across the ocean, the man who orchestrated the murder finds himself hunted by the very proof of his crime.
Jo, a struggling candle maker in a crumbling town, turns to grave-robbing after his fiancée leaves and he can’t afford animal fat. With each stolen body, he crafts candles that burn too bright, too long—illuminating secrets best left in the dark. The flicker of his lamp may be the only thing keeping him from the grave.
In the scorching heart of the jungle, a man driven to madness by the unrelenting heat dares to curse the sun—and pays a terrible price. When the local witchdoctor answers his defiance with a dark vow, he is condemned to endure eternal torment beneath Soltan the Sun King’s merciless gaze.
