6. War Stories
(Vertigo)
Okay, okay, fine. This one isn't your traditional horror story. But I would argue that Garth Ennis' War Stories is haunting to a degree that few "horror" comics actually achieve.
The series is an anthology of different war tales, usually if not always related to World War II. Stories of the atrocities of war and the monstrousness of its fighters. And, like those great classic horror books, each has some sort of bitter ending.

The revenge-driven SAS commander gets his entire team killed on a mission, and drives off into the gunfire alone. The honorable bomber pilot makes the wrong call and ruins a life. The band of men united by necessity return to their sides and die for their causes. These ARE horror stories, because war is scary and horrific and vile.
Even World War II, which was fought against the all-time worst threat to civilization, Nazi fascism, wasn't all sunshine and roses. Certainly not for its participants.
