Synopsis

Five Mysterious stories in this issue:One Foot in the GraveSeveral grave robbers steal bundles of pink flowers from fresh graves all over town. They meet up with their boss who is a florist. He pays them for the stolen flowers and restocks them into his shop.Then, in the middle of the night, a customer comes in to buy some flowers. He asks to buy the very flowers that were just stolen. The florist escorts the man out with the flowers and then realizes he forgot to ask for payment. He runs outside to get the money and the man who bought the flowers is nowhere to be seen. He runs down the street and spots the man ducking into an alley. Turning the corner, he screams and falls down dead. In the alley, the man who "bought" the flowers is apparently one of the corpses who's grave was robbed and he is passing the flowers out to other corpses whose graves were robbed.The clutching handsHaunted!It can't missIron-Head
