Vault of Horror #13

In "A Bloody Undertaking!", the Vault-Keeper introduces a chilling tale of a mortician whose wedding night takes a dark turn when his new bride’s arrival coincides with a series of unsettling disappearances from his morgue. As blood vanishes from the bodies and whispers of a vampire spread through town, suspicion falls on his newest assistant—only to lead to a violent, tragic conclusion. But for Gilbert, relief is short-lived, and the real horror may have only just begun.

In the cold silence of a dying town, Pierre makes a desperate vow to his beloved Maria after her burial—never to be left to the earth’s hunger. With winter closing in and money scarce, he sets out to trap more than ever, only to find himself haunted by the cost of a metal vault, a grim necessity he can barely afford. When Maria dies unexpectedly, Pierre’s grief turns to quiet dread as he discovers the truth of what lies beneath the ice house’s frozen stillness.
