Halloween Hospital Horrors WITCHES TALES "Tank of Corpses" & TALES OF VOODOO "Satan's Dead Demons"

Did You Know Hospitals Had Floating Corpses En Masse in Tanks of Formaldehyde?

Though this story from Harvey's Witches Tales #9 (1952), illustrated by Joe Certa, was not reprinted until over a half-century later (in 2012), the script (by an unknown writer) was reused for a redrawn version by Alberto Macagno that appeared only twenty years later in Eerie's b/w anthology magazine Tales of Voodoo V5N6 (1972)...and several subsequent reprintings in other Eerie Publications titles over the years!







I have no idea if the concept of a witch coming back to life if her hair is cut is an actual folk belief or just something conceived by the writer!
But it's kool, eh?
