coltonmray's review against another edition

3.0

Creatures from the Ice ****

Well-told story in a suitably cold setting.

Spoiler

Haunted radios, skiing, and cave ghosts combine for an eerie read. Ghosts are defeated with an old locket.

However, there are no levitating skulls busting through ice.

Dead-End Drive-In **

Weird sci-fi tale that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.

Spoiler

Monsters invading Earth through movie screens and are defeated by the power of soda machines. Goofy but not awful.

Strange Exchange ***

Decent enough story about an exchange student trying to take over the life of his hosts. The twist?

Spoiler

The kid is possessed by a WWI pilot ghost and is defeated by flashlight.

Yeah, clearly these authors had some problems bringing these stories to satisfying endings.

I had several of these growing up, really fun and cheesy juvenile horror. They are impossibly dated, however, so I don't know if they can be put back into young reader's hands. The cover story for this one was an awesome 'The Fog' inspired ghost story about a vengeful sea captain coming back from an ocean grave.
