[Scrooge]

I hear that's how my HMO treats melanoma ...

[precodekeith]

Well, I'd hate to see how they treat a brain tumor.....

HMO = Horror Medical Oncology?

Hooded menace theme: a fan favorite from any age. Golden, atomic, et. all. This "Dark Room" thing reminds me of a certain song... midnight, one more night without sleeping... Anyone care to venture a guess what song?? ( hi Jay, you'll know.. )

[Jayman]

midnight, one more night without sleeping...

Well here's a guy that's afraid to sleep and it's probably midnight!

And substituting a green cover for the Green Door!

[shiverbones]

I knew I could count on my Twins of Evil....

White Mountain Copy purchased years ago. I remember the second story. Readers used to send in their "true" experiences with the supernatural and the editor would then give the letter to writer and artist. Titling the series "True Uncanny Experiences", this story was called "The Subway Spectres" It's about a man who boards a subway in Brooklyn peopled with spectres and skeletons, sort of a Subway to Hell. Great story! This copy is from January 1952.
