The Frankenstein Monster Meets Werewolf By Night

The Frankenstein Monster met the Werewolf By Night (Jack Russell) in Giant-Size Werewolf #2 (October, 1974) by Doug Moench, Don Perlin and Vince Colletta (and cover by Gil Kane and Tom Palmer, with alterations on the Frankenstein Monster by John Romita).  Here, Jack's sister was kidnapped by the Brotherhood of Baal to be a sacrifice, while the Monster was seeking Danton Vayla for help.  Vayla happened to be the leader of the brotherhood, and while Jack was trying to free his sister he turned into the Werewolf, leading to the Werewolf By Night and Frankenstein Monster fighting (eventually leading to her freedom and the death of Danton).

Clayface Is Back

Clayface is back...or so the cover said....but was he really?

Not so much, as it was scientist Preston Payne, distilling a sample from the second Clayface (Matt Hagen, more on him here), who triggered his own cellular degradation, forcing him to absorb others and live in a strength enhancing exoskeleton to stay alive.  This brought him into conflict with Batman, in these two issues of Detective Comics (#478 and #479, July-August and September-October, 1978) by Len Wein, Marshall Rogers and Dick Giordano.

Marvel Tales

Long before Marvel Tales became a home to Spider-Man reprints, it was host to horror, as shown by these two Harry Anderson covers for Marvel Tales #123 and #124 (May and June, 1954), featuring people falling victim to the undead.

Menacing Monkeys

In the early days, anything could be a menace, including monkeys, as evidenced by Cholly the Chimp in House of Mystery #55 (October, 1956) with cover art by Leonard Starr, or an organ grinder's pet, as in House of Mystery #58 (January, 1957), with cover by Bill Ely.
