This is an anthology issue featuring multiple horror stories. "The Mask of the Red Death" adapts the classic Edgar Allan Poe tale, in which Prince Prospero attempts to escape a plague by sealing himself and a thousand courtiers within a castellated abbey, only to have the "Red Death" breach their sanctuary. The issue also includes a feature on classic horror films and their makeup effects, showcasing monsters from productions featuring Barrymore as Mr. Hyde (1920), Lon Chaney in various roles, Acquanetta in Captive Wildwoman (1943), Veidt in Waxworks (1924), and other vintage horror cinema. Additionally, "Tomorrow the Snowman Will Kill You" and "Jungle of the Vampire Bats" are advertised on the cover as featured stories.
