Tales of Terror Picture Library #1

In "The Day the Worm Turned," a terrifying underground menace emerges when a group of miners vanishes without a trace, leaving authorities baffled. When a second disappearance leads to the discovery of a hidden tunnel, mine manager Peter Travis calls on biologist Sam Lever, who uncovers a horrifying swarm of worms multiplying with alarming speed. The threat escalates when destruction only fuels their spread—until a desperate plan involving sea water offers a glimmer of hope. Cover by Keith Chatto, this 1971 Australian horror tale delivers a chilling blend of suspense and science-fueled dread.
