Issue Notes
The host who introduces most of the stories in this magazine is a character named Morgue'n, who also appeared in Eerie Tales (Hastings Associates, 1959 series) #1 (November 1959), where he calls himself "your Morgue Keeper." The contents of Eerie Tales #1 may be from the planned, but never released, second issue of Weird Mysteries. Harry Mendryk postulates that Joe Simon may have edited this title:
