Exclusive: More Halloween Comic News

Earlier this year, Stefan Hutchinson's comic mini-series Halloween: Nightdance brought back the classic Michael Myers in a big way.

Finally we can start talking about Fear Fest 3, once again presented by Pit of Horror and Dread Central! Though the second show was only a month ago, it seems like it’s been forever since we mentioned it on the site. Strange how such a short time can feel so long. I bet it’s the drugs...
