Haunted Thrills – Pre-Code Horror at Its Most Wicked and Wild!

If you love your horror unfiltered, bizarre, and dripping with pulpy menace, Haunted Thrills was one of the wildest pre-code horror comics of the early 1950s. Published by Ajax-Farrell from 1952 to 1954, this short-lived yet unforgettable series was packed with gruesome morality tales, undead terrors, and grotesque supernatural vengeance, all delivered in bold, garish artwork that practically screamed from the page.

With stories featuring murderous ghosts, cursed artifacts, rampaging ghouls, and men twisted by their own dark desires, Haunted Thrills embraced the shock-factor storytelling that led to the infamous Comics Code crackdown. Though it disappeared in the mid-’50s, its unhinged, over-the-top horror storytelling has since become a highly sought-after gem for collectors of vintage terror. The kind of comic that makes you wonder: did it vanish… or was it buried alive?
