"Kill, Clown, Kill!" is a standout tale from Uncanny Tales #7 (1953), a 10-cent comic that delivers a delightfully bizarre twist on the haunted castle trope. Written and drawn with eerie flair by Larry Woromay—whose distinctive art and inks bring the supernatural dread to life—this story follows a duke who summons his ancestors through a witch’s spell, only to find the treasure’s location shrouded in mystery. The real surprise comes when the ritual takes a shocking turn, culminating in a gorilla spirit that doesn’t just haunt the castle—it claims a life. Bill Everett’s cover, a striking blend of shadow and spectacle, captures the story’s macabre tone perfectly.
