“Death at Castle Dunbar”

DC's Secrets of Sinister House #5 (July 1972) delivers 52 pages of gothic dread, headlined by a story ominously titled "Death at Castle Dunbar." Nick Cardy's cover is a masterpiece of atmospheric terror: a terrified bride in a flowing white gown and veil clutches a lit torch as she pounds desperately on a massive iron-knockered door, a skeletal hand reaching toward her from below while pairs of glowing eyes lurk in the darkness on either side. With interior work from writers Lynn Marron and Michael Fleisher, artist Mike Sekowsky, and inker Dick Giordano, this issue is a genuinely chilling entry in DC's early-'70s horror anthology lineup.
