Dark Mysteries #4 is an anthology of horror and suspense tales. "Corpse That Came Alive" follows Phil Carter, who plots to murder Marilyn Burke's father Leonardo Burke and bury him, then exhume the body later to frame the death as an accident so he can inherit Marilyn and her wealth—but the resurrected corpse returns to haunt him with vengeful purpose. "The Creatures of the Mist" features archaeologists Professor Theodore Adams and Dr. Joyce Travers discovering a lost African city of head-hunters and encountering a witch-doctor's curse that animates shrunken-headed creatures and a magical tomb that traps the explorers.
