Weird Tales July 1946 – Graveyard Monsters Converge in Classic Pulp Horror

Five grotesque monsters have gathered in a moonlit graveyard, and something wicked is clearly afoot — a cloaked ghoul clutches a wand at center, flanked by a top-hatted vampire brandishing a skull-headed staff, a skeletal fanged creature, a horned green demon crouching above, and a winged imp silhouetted against lightning-split skies. Bats wheel overhead, cobwebs cling to tombstones, and a gothic castle looms in the fog — pure Weird Tales nightmare fuel rendered in lurid greens and electric blues.
