Scary Monsters #118 is here, with an atmospheric, glow-in-the-dark-cover issue that salutes Herk Harvey's avant-garde triumph, "Carnival of Souls". (Isn't Scott Jackson's front-and-back cover artwork beyond spectral? And once slipped into the murkiness, his thematic collage grows all the creepier!)
In addition to "Carnival", the haunted horrors covered in this issue include "The Old Dark House '32"; "The Haunting '63"; "The Changeling"; "13 Ghosts '60"; and "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" (with plenty of nifty, Don Knotts fillers to go along).
In addition, there's harrowing Halloween fiction and remembrances; paranormal hi jinks; a cool ghost town; ghost hunters; a Don Post homage; "Burn, Witch, Burn"; "The Twilight Zone"; Roddy McDowall's golem gem, "It!"; and a guest-starring spot for that keen, killer-ventriloquist-dummy classic, "Devil Doll".
Scary Monsters #118 is sculpted to get one in a perfect, pre-Halloween mood. Snatch up a copy at
