Secrets of Haunted House

    (DC, 1975-1982)
DC

Abel, the timid brother of the horror-tale spinner Cain, has been appointed caretaker of a haunted house which drove its first inhabitant insane, had its other inhabitants flee in terror from its rooms, and eventually relocated itself near a cemetery directly across from the House of Mystery. Abel hates to be alone, but he also likes to to tell frightening stories to his guests, the readers.

Although primarily a horror comic, many of the stories have a science-fiction bent. In one story a scientist finds a meat-eating plant in the ashes of a volcano; the plant seems to exert a strange power over the scientist, and he eventually turns to murder in order to keep his discovery alive.

Secrets of Haunted House has tales so terrifying that Abel himself gets a little frightened just telling them.
