Happy New Year to you and your family, and here’s hoping that Father Christmas came down the chimney with lots of lovely presents for Ruby. So that only leaves a few options for DC Thomson books, I agree it does sound to dark a story for Twinkle, so it must be in an annual that I haven’t got, but we have it narrowed down now! I also checked some older Bunty annuals from 1976-1979, no luck. Otherwise I can rule out the other Judy annuals. I’ve also added sample from Diana 1986 annual, the story which first sprung to my mind when red eyes were mentioned, but like I mentioned in previous comment none of the other details match, so doubt it is that.

In the same annual there is a nasty girl who gets locked in an attic with a painting and when people go looking for her she has disappeared as she is in the painting. There is a story where a girl is at a disco and the other people at disco’s eyes go funny as they are hypnotized into committing a robbery.

The closest I have come so far is the Judy 1981 annual.
