I remember some book images being scarier than magazine photos. As a kid, the drooling canine maw from Stephen King's CUJO hardcover always had to be put face down after reading it. The back cover of...

CREEPY cover with Night of the Beast always gave me the chills!

Never cared for either CREEPY or EERIE. They were almost as bad as the worst... those EC comics like VAULT OF HORROR. I read some of a reprint of one of the 1950s issues and man, that Christmas story...

I don't recall ever being truly "scared" by anything in a monster mag. Okay, hang on -- I take that back. There's a still of Dick Smith's Regan head in an issue of VIDEO WATCHDOG that I just can't...

Nothing could ever equal the impact of FM #1 for me, at the age of 8 ... and, of course, I had never seen anything like it before. I used to stare at each picture and scare myself silly, especially...

Someohw, movie stills never really got to me, that I can think of. And I'm not sure, but there may be only one comic book story that did it for me COMPLETELY, and that's "The Prodigy Son" in Eerie # 40.
