Haunt of Fear #23

In "Creep Course," Jo finds herself in a tense classroom showdown when her attempt to ace an ancient civilizations course takes a chilling turn—her professor’s fascination with mummification proves far more literal than academic. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this 1954 horror-suspense tale turns a college classroom into a tomb of secrets.

In the isolated aftermath of a plane crash, survivors on a remote atoll struggle to stay alive—until their belongings begin vanishing, one by one, always silver. With two deaths and growing fear, paranoia sets in as they suspect a werewolf among them. But the truth lies not in fangs or fur, but in the cold, unyielding science of silver nitrate hidden in a medical kit.

In "Country Clubbing!" from Haunt of Fear #23 (1954), a desperate convict fleeing the swamp stumbles upon a secluded shack, only to find himself trapped in a nightmare when a monstrous figure emerges from the shadows, wielding the very club he used to attack a woman. As the brute relentlessly pursues him through the treacherous marshlands, each step deeper into the wilds becomes a test of survival—until the chase ends not with death, but with a chilling twist that leaves the convict shattered and questioning his own mind.
