John Reid (member of the Scientific Research League)Paul Vale (villain, scientist)

In "The Big Snake!" from Tales of Horror #3 (1952), a scientist’s experiment with a mysterious serum goes horribly wrong when a giant snake, infused with human blood, swallows him—only to grow into an even more monstrous force, driven by human cunning and now loose in New York City. The story unfolds with chilling precision, turning a laboratory curiosity into a city-wide threat, all without revealing how it ends.

The Devil's Clock

Don SimmonsBetty StevensJorak

In "The Devil's Clock," a couple's new antique purchase unleashes a chilling twist on time and sacrifice—when the husband winds the clock backward, he's flung into a forgotten past where a demonic cult seeks to bind the present to the ancient world through a terrifying ritual. The story unfolds with creeping dread, as the line between eras blurs and the fate of the wife hangs in the balance.

The Toy Army
6 pp · horror-suspense

In "The Toy Army," a curious toymaker uncovers a mummified doll from Egypt, unaware he’s unleashing Im-Ho-Tep—a once-evil high priest now shrunk to doll size. When the cursed figure animates his toy soldiers, the toymaker must outwit a miniature menace before the army of tiny warriors marches beyond the shop.

Trespasser from Beyond

In "Trespasser from Beyond," the ghost of a silent film star—haunted by her own tragic end during a shoot—lurks on the set of a modern remake, where the new actress playing her may hold the key to a deadly secret. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story unfolds in the shadow of the past, where the line between performance and vengeance blurs.

Untitled story

In "null," Prospector Pete and his friend face a tense choice: cut through a spooky ghost town or take a longer route home. When Pete refuses the shortcut out of fear, he doesn’t realize the safer path ahead is crawling with wild animals, turning his cautious decision into a different kind of danger.
