A Secrets of Haunted House Special was published in 1978 as part of the DC Special Series umbrella title.[3] Secrets of Haunted House was a temporary victim of the so-called "DC Implosion". With issue #14 (Oct.–Nov. 1978), it was cancelled but revived a year later with issue #15 (Aug. 1979). The title continued until issue #46 (March 1982).[1]

The Mister E character was introduced in issue #31 (Dec. 1980) by writer Bob Rozakis and artist Dan Spiegle[4][5] and became a recurring character for the next ten issues. The final Mister E story appeared in issue #41 (Oct. 1981).[6]

The series' letter column was titled "The Haunted Mailbox".
