DC's long-running anthology of dread delivers a genuinely unsettling cover from Michael Wm. Kaluta in this 1981 issue — a wide-eyed child clutches her bedcovers as a monstrous shadowy figure with reaching, claw-like arms looms enormous on the wall behind her. The cover's tagline says it all: "There is something lurking in… the Darkness… and it's coming your way!" It's a perfectly crafted image of childhood fear that makes House of Mystery #294 hard to put back on the shelf.
