Fasten your hand across your mouth to hold back the screams when you read this issue! Horror tales that are so scary they could only lead you to believe that This Magazine is Haunted! In this issue: The gangster Goldie Ricon escapes from death row into the Skontong swamplands. There he gets bitten by a zombie and from then on is haunted by terrible zombie encounters. Driven almost insane, Goldie returns to death row -- and to Skontong swamp -- in "The Slithering Horror of Skontong Swamp!" with art by George Evans. Plus: Country boy Hawkins comes to death in a fight with rival bully Withers. The victim's oversized shoes appear as ghostly accessories and chase the evildoer around. He will die the same way poor Hawkins went in "The Ghost of Fanciful Hawkins!" with pencils by Bob Powell. And: A small carnival pitches its tents in a small town where the cheapest room is $5 per night. Four men from the carnival go looking for cheaper lodgings and find an old abandoned house that a local man says is haunted by the ghost of a man who killed his friends with a hammer. The four men try to stay in the house and the murder begins in "The Last Man" with story by Earl Hammer, Jr. Also: 2-page text story "Horror at Midnight" written by John Martin, and an ad for Unknown World. 36 Pages, Full Color.
