Vault of Horror #9

In "About Face!", the Vault-Keeper introduces a chilling tale of vengeance and transformation: once a celebrated circus lion tamer, Lydia now hides behind a veil after a brutal attack left her scarred. When her loyal chauffeur, Steve, betrays her, she turns to witchcraft—not to heal, but to exact a terrible price. What begins as a quiet retreat into dark books spirals into a curse that twists fate in the most grotesque way.

In "The Reluctant Vampire!", a night watchman with a dark secret struggles to maintain his cover while managing the blood supply at a donor center—until a missing ledger forces him to make a deadly choice. With the center facing closure unless donations double, his hunger grows, and his carefully constructed lies begin to unravel. The Crypt-Keeper presents this chilling tale of desperation and deceit, where even the most mundane job can become a trap for the damned.

In "Grandma's Ghost!!", a young girl haunted by her grandmother’s sudden death finds herself targeted by her greedy aunt and uncle, who plot to eliminate her before she inherits the family fortune. As the tension mounts, Peggy begins to see her grandmother’s ghost—offering cryptic warnings that seem to save her life in terrifying, unexpected ways. The Vault-Keeper invites you to witness a chilling tale of family, betrayal, and the thin line between memory and the supernatural.

In the chilling halls of Croydon Insane Asylum, where whispers of torment echo through the halls, a cruel overseer named Blackpool rules with a whip and a cold heart. As his victims endure his brutal "treatments," a quiet defiance stirs among the inmates—until one night, the tables turn in a way no one could have foreseen. With the sinister Old Witch as our guide, this tale of vengeance unfolds in shadow and silence, where the mad may not be the ones who need saving.
