From the makers of HorrorHound Magazine, the comprehensive collector guide Halftone Horrors: The History of Horror Movie Comic Books aims to profile and spotlight literally every single comic book adaptation of a horror movie that’s been released over the years, and the Kickstarter campaign to make it happen has just one more week left to reach its goal.
At the time of writing this article, $23,000 of the total $25,000 goal amount has been reached, with just six days left to go. Now is the time to pitch in and make sure the goal is hit!
The team promises, “This exhaustive tome to the history of cinematic adaptations will be HorrorHound Publishing’s first fully realized book release in the company’s 15-year history. In true HorrorHound fashion, the end-result will be the most immersive and comprehensive collector’s guide ever published on the subject.”
“Halftone Horrors: The History of Horror Movie Comic Books will be a 240-page full-color hardbound book telling the history of officially licensed comic book adaptations of every hit, cult, and obscure horror movie to receive attention within the comic book industry.”
“This will be a comprehensive collector’s guide to comic book adaptations, spin-offs, and printed sequels from the films and stars of horror cinema. Characters not only appeared in comic form, sometimes they would face off against each other in epic storylines that could never occur on screen. Leatherface vs. Jason! Ash vs. Re-Animator! Jason vs … Jaxon X!? There are some outstanding comics to be discovered. Halftone Horrors will also dig deep to uncover comics most horror fans may not have known to exist (Gremlins, The Island of Dr. Moreau, Killdozer, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Brain That Wouldn’t Die). Halftone Horrors will feature a full-color visual guide to the medium by presenting a history and guide for every issue published – including variants, one-shots, promotional comics, ashcans, and more. Both domestic and international comics will be covered.”
HorrorHound’s Nathan Hanneman said, “I have always been a huge supporter of reference and history guides – especially ones that revolve around the world of collecting. If the idea of owning a companion guide to an entire world of collectibles means as much to you as it does to me, then this will be a priceless option and possession to have. It was an important challenge I wanted to take on. While we have been working on this book for years, finishing it was never a time-manageable opportunity. The pandemic shut-down of 2020 was a sobering reminder that you shouldn’t delay your hopes and goals. I used my time quarantined in my home office to finally bring this project to reality. With help from Kickstarter backers, we can bring it to the masses.”
