Haunted Thrills #16

This anthology issue contains three horror stories. "Web of the Widow" follows an expedition into an Egyptian pyramid where members encounter a monstrous temple spider—a creature described as half-woman, half-thing from the depths—that hunts and kills the explorers. "Phantoms are Fatal to Fakers" tells of Martin Buckson, a con artist posing as a big-game hunter who encounters a gorilla's ghost while telling tall tales about his exploits; the phantom proves deadly to his deception. The third story centers on a village pub where a man named Tom encounters a mysterious artist fellow and becomes entangled with a woman named Cynthia, with supernatural elements involving the artist's true nature threatening the couple.
