In "Horn of Horror," Rudy Gletz discovers a magical trumpet that catapults him to fame as the world's greatest musician—though his success comes at a terrible cost. Every note he plays demands a life, and the ghost of the trumpet’s former owner haunts him, driving him to kill. With art by Marty Elkin and a haunting cover by Don Heck, this 1954 tale of fame, fear, and forbidden power is a chilling entry in the horror anthology series.
