Are there any recommendations for horror stories in comics here to read for the upcoming Halloween holiday?

Personally, my intention was to read Ace Library's Beyond from next week until Samhain (or Kalan Gwaf as we say in Cornwall) - some of the covers look really tip-top.

Well, my first suggestion would be to look at the posts on E.A. Poe from
Professor H's wayback Machine.

As you will see his posts are a welcome fixture here. From there you can check out his own site.
A few other suggestions.
Harvey's Black Magic title. Among other excellent creators, quite a bit of Jack Kirby here.

St. John's Nightmare
https://comicbookplus.com/forum/index.php?topic=5983.msg69999#msg69999
Star Publications' Ghostly Weird Stories'
https://comicbookplus.com/?cid=1683
Toby/Minoan's Tales of Horror
https://comicbookplus.com/?cid=613

That should get you started. Actually pre the Comic Code Authority, most publishers had Horror comics and there are plenty on CB+, so happy Halloween!   8)

Correction, 'Black Magic' was a 'Prize' title not Harvey. oops!

Harvey's 'Black Cat Mystery' issues [29-53] are also apropos for Halloween.
I used the search bar and got the titles on this page.

Cheers!
