Grimm’s Ghost Stories

    (Gold Key, 1972-1982)
Grimm’s Ghost Stories No. 8, ©1973, by Western Publishing Company, Inc.

Every two months between 1972 and 1982, Grimm’s Ghost Stories brought readers tales of ghosts and the supernatural. While some claimed to be “real life” hauntings, most were more traditional horror stories whereby ghosts gained revenge on people who had wronged them in life. Although the material consisted almost entirely of straight ghost stories, it did manage to give some tales a romantic or humorous twist in order to lend a bit of variety to the series.
