This haunted house tale features two Silver Age greats...
...taking a twice-told tale, and proving "third time's the charm!"
Since it was backing up an Invincible Iron Man story in Atlas/Marvel's Tales of Suspense #42 (1963), this tale remained unseen for almost 50 years (unless you had this issue) until finally reprinted in the book available below!
You'll note the comic book fanboys of the previous two versions (HERE and HERE) are replaced with adults, one of whom looks amazingly-like a middle-aged Peter Parker!
Not suprising, since writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko co-created Peter and his costumed alter-ego, The Amazing Spider-Man!
Note: When I first ran this post years ago, reader Rowdie Richie pointed out "...it was reprinted around 1970 in a British UK Annual hardcover.
I am really hoping to find it also in a cheap early 70s reprint comic, since Marvel was heavy into horror at the time."
Sadly, it didn't appear in any of the 1970s Marvel horror reprints, and the UK reprint in IPC's Fantastic! #5 (1967) was cut to 3 1/2 pages (eliminating the kool splash page) and ran in black and white!

The hardcover UK annual he mentions, IPC's Fantastic! Annual (1970)...
...shows this edited version...but in black and white with red tones added, not full color!
