And "All Hallows Eve" , by Bruce Jones and Tim Conrad, from TWISTED TALES 1, Nov 1982. That includes three other tongue in cheek EC-tribute stories by Jones, with Corben, Alcala and Blevins.

And yet another link (since the previous one for it on ReadComicOnline is inundated with pop-up ads) for the outstanding "Dracula" story by Steve Perry and Steve Bissette/John Tottleben in BIZARRE ADVENTURES 33, Dec 1982. One of the best written Halloween stories ever.

And the original earlier version by Wolfman and Adams, from DRACULA LIVES 2, in 1973 :

That BIZARRE ADVENTURES 33 story was done about a year before Bissette/Tottleben began their SWAMP THING run (2nd series) with Alan Moore.

But good as the Moore/Bissette/Tottleben SWAMP THING run is, I still prefer the original Wein and Wrightson issues in SWAMP THING 1-10 , that in those first 10 issues manages to to fit in tribute to every classic Hollywood monster and horror meme. I dig these out and re-read them again every year or two.

The first series SWAMP THING issues after by Wein/Redondo, and Michelinie/Redondo are also still good (issues 11-24, two with art by Chan).

I only felt the first ST first series jumped the shark in the last 2 or 3 issues, when they turned ST back into Dr Alec Holland.
Which is quite a feat, when you get to issue 21 of the 2nd series in "The Anatomy Lesson" by Alan Moore, and find out he never was Alec Holland !
It begs the question: How could he have been returned to human form in (first series) issues 23-24, when he was never human in the first place, just a plant who believed he was Alec Holland ?

Another I love from the Alan Moore SWAMP THING run is issue 45, "Ghost Dance" . By Moore, with Stan Woch/Alredo Alcala art. Which unknown to me when I first read it, was based on the actual Winchester Mystery House.
