The Witching Hour! #81

We Crypt dwellers know that nothing screams Post-Code HORROR! like DC's own The Witching Hour! (Unless, of course, it would be Unexpected.)

Tonight we travel the terror filled landscape that exists between the hours of midnight and, well, 12:01 am.

First up, from The Witching Hour # 81, sporting a sinister cover by Luis Dominguez, we have a story that does the idea of adoption no services - Two Faces of Evil with art by Tenny Henson and script by George Kashdan.

I like to think that I was never distrustful by natures but even I would start having some real warning bells going off if my husband started paying THAT much attention to our newly adopted hot seventeen year old daughter.

So, you say you've been staying up late obsessing over her every move and now, after a midnight trip to the lake for some father/daughter alone time she drown "accidentally"? Yeah, I'm calling the cops.

After a little witchcraft, I think we are all up for a little technological espionage. I know I am! And by little, I'm talking 3 pager with art by Pat Broderick and, once again George Kashdan on script. Enjoy Blind Frenzy.

Wow, Cynthia really has her shtick down. You've got to respect that.

Next up, we have a terror-ific sci-fi tale. See, The Witching Hour! always had something for everyone.

Once again with The Haunted Planet we have a George Kashdan script this time being drawn by Jerry Grandentetti.

Make sure to check out Teresa on page 3 and me know if you too think she look like she came directly out of Thunderbirds.

Wow, you really can't get much more Post-Code than that! Sleep well, if you DARE!

Ghoulish Getaways

Hell-o, boys and ghouls! Your old uncle Ghosty is back to bring you more of the- ahem! - best tales of post-code terror. First up tonight, a tragic little tale of a happy couple who have just returned to the groom's ancestral home to settle in as man and wife. And who wouldn't love a honeymoon cottage with all the amenities: crumbling, moss-covered walls, a freaky, giggling, senile old butler and, best of all, a mysterious, locked room with eerie noises.

Makes me nostalgic for MY honeymoon.

Here, from Ghostly Haunts #57 we have "The Game Keeper", written and drawn by "Terrifying" Tom Sutton.

Poor Avis, barely a bride and already a widow.

But not all of us gals are the settling down type. Take swinging Fernanda in "Flight into Fright". In this terrifying travelogue our groovy chick take a dream vacation with two swinging bachelors both with looks AND money. And at least one of them has a leopard-print vest. Talk about happenin'!

From Weird Mystery Tales #14 you can thank writer George Kashdan and artist Ernie Chua for this trip of terror.

Settle back and enjoy this tale with the men in your life.

I don't know about you, but I hate watching other people vacation films.
