Scream! was a British weekly horror comic anthology that was published for 15 issues by IPC Magazines in 1984. Controversy over horror comics had led to the introduction of the Children and Young Persons (Harmful Publications) Act 1955, under which the first prosecution occurred in 1970. The editorial approach to Scream! was to de-emphasise the horror label and deliberately not repeat the style of its more controversial precursors, making it more tongue-in-cheek for younger readers, as evidenced by its coverline "not for the nervous". List of stories Stories included: The Dracula File — the lead strip, about Dracula hunting in 1980s England. Written mainly by Gerry Finley-Day and occasionally written by Simon Furman. The Thirteenth Floor — Scream!s most popular strip, concerning Max, a crazed computer, in charge of an elevator in a 17-storey apartment building - when someone bad or evil steps inside, Max would take them to The Thirteenth Floor, a virtual reality where they would be tormented or killed. It continued in Eagle for several years after the demise of Scream!. The first 11 episodes were reprinted in Hibernia Books' 2007 collection The Thirteenth Floor; the first 48 episodes were reprinted by Rebellion in 2018. Originally written by John Wagner and Alan Grant (under the pseudonym Ian Holland). Fiends and Neighbours — a reprint from a more mainstream IPC comic Cor!!, about a family of monsters living next door to an ordinary couple. A Ghastly Tale — one-off strips introduced by the comic's fictional editor, Ghastly. Library of Death — one-off morality tales. Monster — serial about a deformed man ('Uncle Terry') who grew up locked in an attic, similar to the Monster of Glamis. The strip borrowed from the 'gentle monster on the run' archetype as espoused by the Hulk, as Terry inevitably escaped, tending to murder people he didn't like due to his inhuman strength and lack of social restraint. The script for the first instalment was credited to Alan Moore, with subsequent scripts credited to "Rick Clark", a pseudonym of John Wagner. After Scream! closed, "Monster" continued in Eagle for some years. The Nightcomers — about a haunted house that killed a husband-and-wife investigator team - their children were drawn to the house to continue the investigation. Written by Tom Tully, with art by John Richardson Tales from the Grave — short stories illustrating the depravity of Victorian era London. Terror of the Cats
