☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology contains "The Trap of Terror," in which movie idol Kurt Cameron consults medium Madame Arlando and is warned by spirits that traveling to South Africa for a film shoot will result in his death, though the spirits claim he will not return if he goes. Cameron ignores the warning and is coerced by his studio to proceed with the production. Additionally, the issue features "A Gravedigger's Terror," wherein gravedigger Franz Gerlui recounts discovering an exhumed body bearing vampire fang marks in a French village cemetery, which he later learns was attributed to a vampire that terrorized the area before being forgotten during the Nazi occupation, and the story of Marco, a circus performer who is coerced by the circus owner into facing a lion despite his cowardice, ultimately leading to his humiliation when he cannot overcome his fear.
Young Denny O'Grady sails across the ocean to find the wreck of the Sea Urchin and recover his beloved Myra's belongings—only to discover a decades-old curse haunts those waters. When he descends into the sunken ship, he must confront the ghost of the pirate captain who murdered Myra, and uncover the strange power that guards the wreck's depths.
A séance at Madame Arlando's house takes a sinister turn when a man named Ken arrives seeking to expose the medium as a fraud—only to find himself confronted by the vengeful spirit of Kurt Cameron, who demands justice for his own demise. With supernatural forces at work and Ken's guilty conscience weighing heavily, the night spirals toward a chilling reckoning that neither the living nor the dead can escape. Bill Fraccio's pencils and Tony Tallarico's inks bring this 1952 tale of spectral revenge to haunting life.
A lion tamer's carefully hidden fear threatens to destroy everything—his reputation, his love, and his life—when he steps into the cage night after night, paralyzed by terror while the crowd cheers for his courage. When a new, genuinely fearless trainer arrives and steals both his job and his sweetheart's affection, Marco's desperation drives him to a dark plan that will reshape the circus forever. "The Cage of Horror!" is a tale of pride, cowardice, and the price of deception that plays out under the big top's glaring lights.
