Web of Mystery #4
An anthology issue featuring two stories. "Vengeance of the Undead" depicts a carnival horror show where the displayed creatures are revealed to be actual sub-human criminals executed in different eras, kept alive through unspecified means; the exhibit's horrors prove real when the undead beings escape and terrorize the gathered crowd. A second story involves a young boy named Sammy Rand whose dead father's ghost appears to him in dreams, urging him to ride a horse called Spook in a race; when Sammy races the horse, he mysteriously rescues trapped horses from a burning barn despite having no knowledge of the fire, suggesting supernatural intervention from his father's spirit.
