I always thought this was one of Ghastly Ingels' wilder art moments.

That was kind of unfair, wasn't it? I mean, yes, Sidney was compliant in his brother's crimes, but it was Everett who ripped them apart. Sidney actually struck me as a fairly sympathetic character, all things considered - he did, after all, feel remorse for his part in the crimes, and he was only put in the position he was in because he was helping out his poor mad brother in the first place instead of just shipping him off to the looney bin.
Credit where credit is due, though - that is one damn creepy panel at the end.

Wish we knew who wrote that..actually reminded me of Alan Moore's creepier work. The Invunche and such.

William Gaines and Al Feldstein wrote all the stories until the end of 1953.

I heard that this story itself was a loose adaptation (and unauthorized to boot) of Robert Bloch's short story "Enoch" with a different ending.

I remember "Enoch"

My 6th grade teacher read it to us...it was about a woman compelled to do bad things by Enoch, a creature that lived in her hair.
