Out of the Night #3

Larry Mather brings his fiancée Joan to Ravenswood, his ancestral home on the New England coast, where he reveals the dark history of the property: three centuries ago, the Raven Sisters—two supernatural fiends who preyed on travelers and townspeople—were finally defeated and buried there with wooden stakes through their hearts, bound by ancient magic never to rise again. But someone with knowledge of forbidden sorcery may be about to undo that curse, and the evil that slumbered beneath the graveyard is stirring once more.

When reporter Neil and his technical assistant Janet arrive at a remote Nevada underground warehouse housing publisher Warren Rudolph Haynes' vast art collection, they find the guards missing and a terrifying supernatural presence guarding the vaults. As they navigate the darkened chambers filled with ancient treasures, spectral figures and a desperate survivor force them deeper into the mystery—where the truth about what happened to the other guards awaits in the darkness. In "The Eyes of Terror," Neil and Janet must confront forces neither reason nor courage can easily dismiss.

Three scientists—Rick, Nila, and Professor Neilsen—uncover an ancient Norse crypt on a remote Arctic isle and claim a harrowing archaeological prize: the frozen coffins of Viking explorers condemned to the "Long Sleep" for their evil deeds over a thousand years ago. When the coffins are transported south aboard their plane and darkness falls, the preserved corpses awaken—inhuman and unstoppable—forcing Rick to find a desperate way to protect his team before nightfall comes again. A tense battle between the supernatural and the scientific tests whether any earthly weapon can stand against creatures born of ancient sorcery.

In "Terror in the Swamp!" from Out of the Night #3 (1952), Stan and Larry find themselves at odds with the local workers when the construction of a new highway on a remote Philippine island hits a roadblock—literally. The native laborers refuse to go further, trembling at the sight of the road leading into a forbidden swamp said to be home to the dread Tigbanuas.
