'When the purring stopped, there was no escape from…' The Terror of the Cats. This story appeared in the first issue with a picture of a crazed moggie on the front cover, it was replaced by The Nightcomers in issue 7 after failing to be one of Screams more popular stories.
Although a gripping read, Cats was about, well… cats, not as scary as some stories but incredibly camp and funny in a strange sort of way!
The hero of this story was Allen Woodward, a local reporter working for the Barchester Evening Echo. Sent to Barchester Royal Infirmary to do a quirky piece on a spate of cat attacks, Allen finds himself at the center of a mad scientists experiment with the feline psyche. Dr Ulrich Kruhl, (C-r-u-e-l) an insane genius, had created The Brain of the Cats, a giant telepathic collective intelligence with the power to control all feline forms. This supreme master of cats had turned on its creator and was hell-bent on taking over the world with an unstoppable feline army. It was up to Allen Woodward, who was no pussy himself, to solve the mystery and save the day.
