The Witching Hour #30

That eerie tagline — "It's Midnight…" — sets the mood perfectly for this 1973 DC horror anthology entry. Nick Cardy's cover tells a quietly chilling story: a red-haired woman in a nightgown stands at an open door, visibly alarmed, while a sleeping figure in the bed behind her calls out that it's "just your imagination" — yet looming just outside, unseen by either of them, is a monstrous clawed hand and hulking figure bathed in moonlight. "Night Fright!" promises exactly the kind of creeping dread that made The Witching Hour such a satisfying spine-tingler in the early '70s.
