I always was a big fan of the horror anthology titles - things like House of Mystery from D.C. and Beyond the Grave and Ghost Manor from Charlton.
The Charlton comics were particularly cool, since you never knew if you would get a Steve Ditko story. It seemed kind of strange, seeing the co-creator of Spder-Man doing largely anonymous work on a low-budget horror comic. But to me, that was part of Charlton's charm. Had it been a slicker, more professional-looking, company, I doubt it would've had the same appeal.
I also was a big fan of the "I...Vampire" stories that appeared at the end of the House of Mystery run. It was different, as it was a serialized story in what had been an anthology of single-shot stories. But I loved it.
