Pinup of the Week: Midnight Mystery Stories January 6, 1923

Midnight Mystery Stories 1923 01 06 January

I’ve been posting a lot of these Midnight Mystery Stories covers recently. I’m liking them. For the life of me, I can’t figure out what this woman is doing. Here’s what my imagination is doing with the slouch, the mask, and the doctor bag: You wake up smelling chloroform, and realize that you can’t remember the past few hours, since you met a mysterious, beautiful woman at a street cafe. You see the woman you met there, standing out on the balcony of the room you’re in. She notices that you’re awake and picks up a bag that was sitting next to her. It is at this moment that you realize that you’re tied down in a large tub.

Pinup of the Week: Strange Stories February 1939

Strange Stories 1939 02 February

Yes I’m still alive and kicking. Sorry for the lack of reviews lately. I’ve been working on other projects and it’s been cutting into my time spent creeping around in attics and luring poor orphans into the kind of situation pictured above.

This picture delightfully illustrates another one of those situations that happens to me: All. The. Time.

You just never know when you’re going to run into a pair of inbred, head-hunting, Siamese twin, hick brothers who also happen to be members of a rabid red cowl wearing secret society. Let me tell you that every time this happens to me, one of the brothers is ALWAYS missing at least one of this front teeth. They will ALWAYS be found dancing around a giant cursed gem with a head on a stick and terrorizing a redhead who happens to be wearing a crown she just uncovered in a South American archeological dig. And a tube top. My life is that awesome.

Pinup of the Week: Midnight Mysteries November 18, 1922

Midnight Mysteries 1922 11 18 November

I don’t know about you, but the fellow here on the floor looks quite relaxed. Being an expert in these matters, I have to say that with victims of a horrible fates, a monster simply does not find them stretched out on a floor with their feet crossed. Nope, our man here is obviously considering something. Maybe dinner? His lady friend, however, is getting ready to shoot lightning bolts from her fingers. The darling.

Pinup of the Week: The Moth by Joy Carroll 1974

One of the best things about visiting small towns is venturing into the horror section and finding unknown gems like this one. Ah yes, supernatural romance novels are nothing new. What a cover!!! What an inside blurb:

IF I DIE WHEN I’M YOUNG
I VOW I’LL COME BACK TO HAWKWOOD.
I’LL BE A SPIRIT,
AND MAKE PEOPLE DO TERRIBLE THINGS.
DO YOU BELIEVE ME, KATE,
DO YOU BELIEVE?

Pinup of the Week: Midnight Mystery Stories December 2, 1922

Midnight Mystery Stories 1922 12 02

It’s getting so that I’m acclimated to the damsels in distress, and here and there it certainly is interesting to mix things up a little bit, so that’s on the menu today: something different. What looks very much like a hospital orderly, or a man in a chef outfit. It’s looking to me like he has got himself into a situation with the wrong kind of lady. Sometimes that can be loads of fun, but in this case it’s looking like the opposite.
