TALES FROM THE CRYPT Vol.1 no.38 • cover art • Bernie Wrightson [Oct 1958]

Tight Grip!

This story is narrated by a trunk and concerns the murder of a woman the trunk is fond of. When the murderer attempts to hide in the trunk, he panics and shoots holes through it, whereupon the trunk contracts itself turning the killer into flesh spaghetti and concentrated bone.
