This anthology issue contains multiple horror tales. "The Deadly Wish" features Horror Runs Amuck encountering ghosts at a centuries-old Rhine castle, where he learns that the spirits of a maiden's victims haunt the location; a man named Matterman then attempts to acquire the castle for his torture museum, but the vengeful ghosts thwart his plans. Another story involves a couple discovering that an old girl who previously hung herself in their house is still present as a malevolent spirit, with the corpse of an old crone named Tabitha rising from the basement to possess the body of a young woman named Alicia Morrison for sinister purposes.
