"The Curse of Carnoc Castle" kicks off a chilling tale in This Magazine Is Haunted #1 (1951), a standout early entry in the horror anthology series. After two centuries, the Duke of Allister awakens in his ancestral castle, newly reborn and immortal—but the dark magic that granted him eternal life is far from done with him. George Evans handles both art and inks, while Ed Hamilton provides the lettering; the cover, by Sheldon Moldoff, captures the gothic dread of the story’s opening moments.
