Blood in Four Colours: HAUNTED LOVE

Putrid Pedro Cabezuelo from Rue Morgue Magazine recently dropped by Karswell Kastle to ask me some questions about our horrific new HAUNTED LOVE mini series from IDW / Yoe Books creeping up on you this Februtalary! Get the full scary scoop in the Jan / Feb #163 issue on stands NOW!

My Daddy Should Have Listened

IDW and Yoe Books newest book COMICS ABOUT CARTOONISTS is overflowing with wild stories about the world's oddest profession-- tales of cartoonists encountering situations where their illustrated creations literally come to life on them! And for you pre-code horror junkies, a few of these situations even spell out TERROR! Take for example the superbly creepy story featured here at THOIA today, originally presented in the October 1952 issue of Beware #12 (art by Vince Napoli.) Find out more about this essential Yoe book by clicking HERE, and watch the video preview by clicking HERE! ALSO! If you haven't already seen the Haunted Horror interview article in the new December issue of Rue Morgue Magazine then run out now to your nearest newsstand and grab a copy ASAP! You can also scroll to the bottom of this post and read it there too!

Back from the Dead! + Creepshow

Here's the remainder of the awesome Creepshow article from the fall 1982 issue of Cinefantastique Vol. 13 #1 (see previous post for part one), as well as my Creepshow DVD cover signed by Tom Savini and Adrienne Barbeau when I met them both here in StL a few years ago at a horror convention. But first, a sad little number of love, betrayal, and the walking, talking, acting dead-- from the Feb. 1953 issue of Adventures into Weird Worlds #15.

(Part Two continued...)

Back from the Grave + Creepshow

The undead continue their insatiable attack upon THOIA this month with a weird one from Stan Lee and Fred Kida, from the November 1952 issue of Astonishing #19. And as a bonus, we have the first half of a lengthy, 20 page Creepshow article from the Fall 1982 issue of Cinefantastique Vol. 15 #1. It's a fascinating piece on the best pre-code horror inspired film ever-- enjoy!

A Very Grave Matter

Today's tale from the August 1953 issue of Spellbound #16 is a fun Stan Lee quickie with an absolute groaner of a plothole, but dig that Russ Heath art! And because it's so short I thought I'd pad things out with a neat, 5-page article glimpse into the making of Creepshow, from the April 1982 double issue of Cinefantastique Volume 12 #2 and 3. In the last post I gave you the link to the cool Creepshow Father's Day figure coming out this fall, in this post (and the next) we'll be digging a bit more into Stephen King and George Romero's excellent anthology film tribute to our favorite subject around here-- pre-code horror comics!
