"The Man Who Didn't Believe in Ghosts"and "Dig Your Own Grave"

Welcome to yet another terrifying trip thought the darkest that post-code horror has to offer.

Since my dearest has departed this evening and left me to present tonight's dreadful offering, I will have to serve up double the terror. I'll be pulling two frightening tales from DC Comics' Secrets of Haunted House #9 circa 1977.

First up, "The Man Who Didn't Believe in Ghosts" with script and art by Arnold Drake and Steve Ditko respectively. This tale teaches us the three ghostly powers known instantly at death.

Death must come with a pamphlet.

Apparently karma must come in the form of a pool cue.

Next up we have "Dig Your Own Grave", a story that will have you rethinking that next promotion. Here we have story by Jack Oleck and art by Ruben Yandoc.

I did not see that coming. I really didn't.

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.
