It's Jim Morrison and Gossamer vs. Blue Devil! Not even really kidding.

Years of horror movies have conditioned me to think of 'caretakers' as creepy weirdos, and today's book backs that up! From 1986, Blue Devil #20, "Old Haunts" Written by Gary Cohn and Dan Mishkin, pencils by Alan Kupperberg, inks by Bill Collins.

Dan Cassidy, Blue Devil and "weirdness magnet," is checking out a new place: the House of Weirdness! But when a cute little puffball escapes, Cain tells him it's really the "Hairy Devourer," and loose on Halloween it could destroy the entire world! Which is pretty typical for Dan, yeah. His would-be sidekick Gopher, out in a red devil suit, ends up trick-or-treating with the Devourer; while Dan's girlfriend Sharon is going to go see the Doors--er, the Windows; a sixties band whose lead singer has returned, seemingly from beyond the dead! He had died years ago "when this Tarot-reading chick got mad and laid one heavy-duty bad trip on my head!" (Not Madame Xanadu?)

The singer needs to sacrifice a soul to try and save his own, so of course he tries to use Sharon's. Dan manages to save her, with an assist from Gopher, and the singer (and the venue!) are sucked back to hell. To make up for the Hairy Devourer disappearing, Cain says it's only fair Dan take the room in the House; it's a terrible idea and he doesn't want to, so of course next month he's moving in! I'm not sure why it was the "House of Weirdness," though; except that Elvira might've had the House of Mystery lease then.
