Dr. Haunt

“You have seen me! You mistook me for a furtive blob of darkness, strangely darker than the other shadows, and for a split-second you found yourself staring puzzledly. But then the form quickly faded… and you forgot! You have heard me too! You mistook my dry voice for the thin scratching of dead leaves across your windowpane… or my laugh for the long drawn-out wail of a train in the distance! But now there should be no mistake…” Dr. Haunt replaced Dr. Death as the host of Charlton’s revival of This Magazine is Haunted in its short second volume beginning in 1957. It had previously been canceled in 1954. Oddly, when it was canceled in 1954, its final issue was #21. However, when it returned in 1957, volume 2 began with issue #12 (probably taking up the number of a recently canceled comic — most likely Za Za the Mystic).
