Haunted Horror #19
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Halloween Nightmare," a ghost and a man in a Death-like robe visit Emily Ghost, a Morticia-esque figure, for guidance on haunting an old mansion—only to be interrupted by a sudden werewolf appearance. As a storm drives two newlyweds to seek shelter, their panic isn't from fear of monsters, but from the mistaken belief their parents have tracked them down. With eerie charm and spooky wit, this Haunted Horror #19 tale by Gerald Altman (art and inks) unfolds under Bernard Baily’s haunting cover.
In "Halloween Nightmare," a group of friends laughs off spooky tales on a wild Halloween night—until the lights flicker out and a smoke-wreathed figure emerges, casting a spell over them. Trapped in a trance, they’re forced into a terrifying scavenger hunt that blurs the line between game and nightmare.
In "Out of the Black Night," a quiet town trembles under whispers of a vampire, until a new student drops a chilling confession: his father is one. Miss Albright, the town’s skeptical schoolteacher, follows the lead, only to confront the boy’s father—and find that he’s not the monster she was hunting. The truth, it seems, is far stranger than blood and fangs.
In "Trick or Treat," a couple’s decision to spice up their Halloween party with eerie costumes from a mysterious shop sets off a chilling chain of events. The moment they don their werewolf and vampire outfits, the masks seem to whisper, and the line between performance and possession begins to blur.
In the files of the Paris police, a decades-old case resurfaces: a man in a devil's costume murders his ex-girlfriend at a Halloween party, only to die moments later as the outfit fuses to his skin. The mystery lingers, a chilling echo from a night that shouldn’t have ended in flesh and flame.
In "The Vampire Cat!", Jo finds herself caught in a supernatural twist after a heated moment at a Halloween party, when her jealous wish for the gypsy Vilma to become a cat comes terrifyingly true. Now a vampire-cat creature bound by a deadly cycle, Vilma must hunt for blood every day—or risk becoming a real cat forever.
In "The Dead Dance on Halloween," Lona Thornton’s desperate bid for love leads her to a witch who grants her a potion with a monstrous price. When the man she desires is transformed and flees into the woods, Lona finds herself trapped in a night of terror—on Halloween, she becomes a cursed dancer among the dead.
In "How to Be a Gracious Ghost!", a spectral instructor and a robed Charlie seek guidance from the coolly elegant Emily Ghost on the finer points of haunting—until a werewolf interrupts the lesson. When a pair of newlyweds, fleeing a storm, stumble into the mansion, their panic isn’t born of fear, but of mistaken identity: they think their parents have tracked them down.
