In "The Trophy!", a stranded traveler takes refuge in a remote farmhouse, where an old woman warns him of her vampire husband—only to be met with a chillingly calm reply when he reveals his own wife is a ghoul. Written by Al Feldstein and illustrated by Bill Elder, this eerie tale from EC’s Three Dimensional Tales from the Crypt of Terror #2 (1954) unfolds with creeping dread, anchored in a single, locked closet and a man’s growing unease. The cover, penciled and inked by Al Feldstein, captures the story’s unsettling mood in stark, shadowed detail.

In "The Trophy!", a notorious big game hunter finds his obsession with the chase coming back to haunt him—literally—when a mysterious ghoul sabotages his car and traps him in a deadly game of survival. With his butler Jeeves and a newspaper reporter watching from the shadows, the hunter must face a fate far more gruesome than any beast he’s ever hunted.

In a storm-lashed countryside, a stranded traveler seeks shelter at a remote farmhouse, only to be warned by an old woman about her husband’s monstrous secret—though he’s not the only one with a dark past. When the man reveals his own wife is a ghoul, the eerie tension thickens, and the night grows stranger with each whispered warning. The Crypt Keeper sets the scene, but the true horror lies in who’s really behind the locked closet door.

In "The Thing from the Grave!", a jealous lover's rage leads to murder, but the grave has its own reckoning. When Bill kills his rival Jim and tries to frame him as a deserter, his lies spiral into a desperate plan to silence the woman he still wants. Trapped in a burning cabin with his killer, Laura’s scream awakens something far older than vengeance—something buried long ago, now rising to settle a debt only the dead can pay.
