Not all publishers subscribed to the CCA, even during it's height. When Stan Lee wanted to publish a Spider-Man story that dealt with drugs, he did so, even when it wasn't Code-approved. Likewise, although outright horror comics fell out of fashion due to the CCA, both Marvel and DC started putting horror elements (such as vampires) into their books pretty much straight away.
