Horrific (Facsimile Edition) #1

In "Hangman's Holiday," sadistic executioner George Worth fixates on one final, personal execution—hanging Mona Trent, a death row inmate whose fate he manipulates by tampering with the prison clock to block her last-minute reprieve. When her brother arrives seeking justice, the quiet tension of the holiday season turns dreadfully personal.

In "The Refugee from a Locked Coffin," Frank Drexel thought he’d silenced his partner Roger Simon for good—until Simon’s corpse keeps showing up, relentless and unburied, demanding the truth. Written by an unnamed author and illustrated by an unnamed interior artist, this chilling eight-page tale turns a crime of greed into a haunting psychological spiral where guilt has a corpse that won’t stay dead.

In "Iron Doom," Mr. Matterman, a New York collector with a macabre taste, inherits Mader Castle on the Rhine and sets his sights on turning it into a museum of torture—starting with the life of its caretaker, Hans. As he begins his grim work, the castle’s long-buried spirits stir in the dungeon, drawn by the violence he’s unleashed.

In "The Dancer of Death," Vanya, a performer whose grace masks a darker truth, is haunted by the ghost of her lover Paul after she sends him to his death. As their twisted dance resumes, the line between performance and punishment blurs, leaving her trapped in a nightmare she can't escape.
