Castle of Horror

A short-lived but memorable entry from Portman Distribution, Castle of Horror (1978–1979) delivered five issues of macabre, self-contained horror tales in the classic anthology style. Known for its lurid painted covers and a rotating roster of artists, the series offered a grimly atmospheric mix of monsters, ghosts, and psychological terror, standing as a moody relic of the late-1970s horror comic boom. Its brief run has since become a cult favorite among fans of pre-direct market genre oddities.
