With haunting art by John Belcastro and inks by Joe Galotti, this 1952 tale of greed, fear, and supernatural retribution unfolds under the eerie glow of the carnival lights.

In "The Evil Ones!", statistician John Anders stumbles upon a chilling truth: seemingly random accidents are actually the work of malevolent gnomes lurking beneath the city.

In "Wrath of Satan," a desperate trash picker at the carnival strikes a dangerous bargain with the devil to punish the partners who wronged him. As their gruesome deaths unfold in eerie, inexplicable ways, Simon begins to fear that his own reckoning is just around the corner.
When a newly risen volcanic island emerges from the sea, a group of scientists—led by the commanding Stanton and including the reluctant Williams—land to investigate, despite strict orders to remain airborne. Their discovery of an ancient tower and strange inscriptions soon gives way to something far more sinister: unearthly creatures that emerge from the island itself, intent on claiming the explorers as their own. As the men fight desperately to escape the nightmarish inhabitants and the island begins to sink back into the depths, Stanton finds himself facing a terror no weapon can truly overcome.
In "Death Song!" from Weird Terror #2 (1952), a jealous violinist driven by ambition commits a cold-blooded murder to claim his rival’s fame and fortune—only to find that the past doesn’t stay buried. As guilt takes root, he begins to hear the music of the dead, and the line between performer and phantom blurs.
