"Adventures Into Darkness" combined traditional pre-code horror motifs (creatures, demons, etc.) with psychological horror that, even today, evokes real discomfort in the reader (or at least me, maybe I'm just a wimp). They were going for the jugular. From #6 (1952)...

Today in "This is Pre-Code Horror," it's Splash Page Saturday! Four great opening panels that define the essence of pre-code horror (in your Captain's humble opinion of course!)
Today in "This is Pre-Code Horror," four random panels that define the genre! Zombies! Masked spectres! Romantic corpses! Demonic peer pressure!
Today in "This is Pre-Code Horror" -- Third eyes, vague threats, taunting brains and winged creatures with bad intentions! The entire genre summed up in four random panels!
Today in "This is Pre-Code Horror," boney nightmares, vampire bats, ghostly transportation and a really bad date!
I call this edition of "This is Pre-Code Horror" the "Men With Interesting Hair" installment!
