Pre-teen Archie and his fellow Adventure Scouts are telling scary stories while camping in Fear the Funhouse #1 from Archie Horror. The first story is "Suburban Legend" while the second story is "Snack Attack". The final and best story is "Whatever Happened To Dilton?".

I like the fact that Archie Horror treats the back cover as if it was just as important as the front cover:

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 23: Crypt of Shadows #1 Cover

Marvel has resurrected the Crypt of Shadows for the third time with a new #1 this Halloweeen season. The first attempt was a series that started in 1973 and lasted for twenty-one issues. The second attempt was the one-shot issue in 2018 to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Marvel Comics. This year's Crypt of Shadows #1 cover features Wolverine (formerly X23), Moon Knight, Elsa Bloodstone, Bloodline, Victoria Montesi, Man-Thing and two werewolves (one being Jake Gomez aka Werewolf by Night).

Next is "Werewolf by Moon Knight" featuring Jake Gomez aka Werewolf by Night and Moon Knight encountering another werewolf. Morbius the living vampire and Victoria Montesi, a Darkholder, appears in "Skin Crawl". "Down Came The Rain" features Elsa Bloodstone teaming up with Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch to revert Peter Parker back to normal after becoming the Man-Spider. Finally, Wolverine (formerly known as X23) battles Man-Thing for a very long time in "Endless Slaughter in the Infinite Swamp".

DC vs Vampires: All-Out War #4 hits the newsstands this week and the cover features Mary Marvel so it seems only fitting that she is focus of this week's Women Wednesday post.

Mary Marvel vs Shining Knight makes for a really cool full-page pinup even with the weird coloring of just black, white, gray and red. He's a vampire so this also makes a cool post for this year's Countdown to Halloween.
