Reading Room WORLD OF SUSPENSE "By the Dark of the Moon"

The cover depicting this tale has a gothic horror feel...
...but, in fact, the story is hard science fiction!
No ghosts or ghoulies at all!
(Halloween was over a week ago!)
Was this story's ending rewritten to conform to the Comics Code?
Scripted by Carl Wessler and ilustrated by John Giunta, this never-reprinted tale from Atlas' World of Suspense #5 (1956) features a last panel with a rather convoluted explanation that seems, as the saying goes "out of left field".
Or is it just the result of trying to cram a lot of story into only four pages?
We'll never know...
