Haunt of Fear #9

In "Warts So Horrible?", two young boys brave the graveyard at midnight, hoping to summon a spell to cure their warts—only to witness a far darker act when their miser uncle’s grave erupts. The Old Witch watches as the dead man, clutching his buried diamond ring, drags the two nephews back into the earth, turning their desperate spell into a grim, literal resurrection.

In "Forbidden Fruit," two survivors of a crashed plane stumble upon an isolated island where a single tree bears strange fruit, guarded by a stockade and a man who claims the fruit will rot their skin. The Vault-Keeper warns them, but hunger and doubt drive them to break in and taste the forbidden fruit—only to confront the truth behind his warning in the dark.

In "The Gorilla's Paw!", a curious shopper is lured into a strange curio shop by the Crypt-Keeper’s ominous presence, where he buys a mummified gorilla’s paw for a mere twenty-five dollars. That night, the paw begins to whisper promises—first with money, then with blood—and as Floyd’s wishes start to come true, he realizes too late that some bargains come with a terrible price.
