Scream #3

The issue contains a vampire story in which a dying man is visited by a vampire who reveals that years earlier, when the man and his fiancée Christine were nearly drowned in a lake, the vampire saved them both by making Christine into his living bride. The vampire returns to claim Christine and presents the man with a wedding ring, while Christine suffers from a mysterious wasting disease marked by apathetic episodes and cataleptic attacks. The story concludes with the man's death announced in the newspapers three weeks later, after which a friend attempts to ease the melancholy of the unnamed lady Madeline through music and companionship, though her condition appears to involve some supernatural influence.
