In "Orgy of Death," greedy Dr. Morgan ventures to a remote island in search of the lost treasure of Moloch, dragging his niece Lela and pilot Alan into a deadly game of greed and survival. When the ground begins to tremble and a volcano erupts, the ancient cult’s wrath awakens—turning his plans into a nightmare he never saw coming.
In "The Man Who Saw Doom," a cursed ring grants John Durrand the terrifying ability to foresee death—each time he sees a face with no features, a life ends within the minute. Haunted by visions he can’t escape, he passes the ring to a jeweler, desperate to be free of its burden.
In "The Spectre's Face," mob gunman Barker Crane seeks a new life after retiring from violence, only to find that every photograph of him reveals a haunting, rotting zombie standing behind him. As he desperately searches for the source of the image, the ghostly presence begins to unravel his fragile peace. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this chilling 1953 tale from *Web of Evil* #6 explores the weight of past sins through a simple, terrifying mystery.
In "The House Where Horror Lived," John Carlton, known as “The Bravest Man Alive,” spends a night in a haunted house with his servant Drake—only to discover the terror was no ghost, but a trap set by Drake himself. As the night unfolds, the line between fear and fate blurs in a story that lingers long after the final page.
