Reading Room/Tales Twice Told TALES FROM THE TOMB "Living Corpse"

Now Witness How Another Artist Re-Interpreted It for a Cover-Featured Tale...and Needed an Extra Page to Do So!
This new version of the Simon & Kirby Black Magic story appeared in Eerie's Tales from the Tomb V6N5 (1974), illustrated by Alberto Macagno.
What's odd is that most of the reworked versions that appeared in Eerie Publications' b/w magazines (which weren't restricted by the Comics Code Authority) were gorier than the originals.
Yet this tale would've easily passed the looser Code, then in effect, which allowed "traditional/classic" monsters (Frankenstein, Dracula (and other vampires), werewolves, mummies)...without too much blood!
Heck, Marvel had just released their own Living Mummy series in Supernatural Thrillers!
