Halloween is right around the corner! Are you ready? I’m disappointed because my neighborhood really hasn’t decorated much for Halloween this year. It’s supposed to rain for the next three days so my neighbors better hurry up and put up some ghosts and some pumpkins and get in the holiday spirit!

Do you need help getting in the holiday spirit? Here’s some help from the pulps!

The Covers Of Horror Stories

Artist Unknown

From the time that the first issue was published in January of 1935, Horror Stories was one of the most popular pulp magazines, featuring content that was considered extreme even by pulp standards. Unfortunately, like many pulp magazines, it was forced to cease publication in 1941 due to a paper shortage following the U.S.’s entry into World War II. Because of its short press run, issues of Horror Stories are especially valued by collectors.

Horror Stories was best known for its lurid covers. I’ve posted a few here. Though many of these covers did not have a credited artist, it is believed that the majority of them were done by John Newton Howitt.
