Could more be said? The gold standard of comics horror.

And yet more Study Group Comics, A Weekend at the Atwood by Patrick Dean, or as it’s subtitiled, “Ghost Con.”

More of Study Group’s Halloween Haunting comics, this one is about a nightmare experienced by the artist that he never forgot.

In addition to having the most Halloween-like name ever, cartoonist Sabin Cauldron is an up and comer who will have the third issue of his comic MALEFICIUM available at CAB next weekend. Described as the story of a “lesbian separatist witch coven in 1969 San Francisco” the first issue can be purchased at Gumroad.

It’s hard to believe there are people more in love with ghost hunting that basic cable channels that program various paranormal investigation shows nearly 24/7 but it seems that ghost hunting has taken hold in normally secular Norway: Ghosts, or at least belief in them, have been around for centuries but they have now found […]

Emily Carroll -- who just won a British Fantasy Society Award for Best Graphic Novel -- is a Halloween tradition with her amazing webcomics which stretch the boundaries of the medium. Sadly she didn't do a new one this year, but you can read all the old ones here, and the most recent one, The Groom, which manages to find chills in a pipe cleaner. Carroll is truly a master of horror and if you haven't read her other comics, there's no spookier way to spend Halloween.

It doesn't really get any more Halloween-y than Dark Horse's outstanding line up of horror books...and there' a big digital sale going on at Comixology which ends tomorrow, as spirits go back to their graves. Books on offer include Creepy archives, Eerie Archives and the incomparable Hellboy.

The inspiration for the Joker is said to be this story by Victor Hugo about a mutilated man who aims to become the voice of a generation. It’s not really a “horror” story per se but often real life and social commentary can be just as scary as Michael Myers. Available on Sequential.

A teaser has just been released for the second season of Wytches by Scott Snyder and Jock. It's a classic horror tale about a family that moves to a small New England town and finds something ancient and evil waiting in the woods...and it's done just about as well as that story can be done. So a second season is good news indeed.

This is a pretty nifty little comics, available via StoreEnvy, called Vampires Will Never Hurt You by June Vigants, and yes, it’s influenced a bit by My Chemical Romance but also deals with LGVTQ themes, and bullying and, of course, lots of wiring Halloween shadows. Vigants is a recentish SVA grad whose comics show a […]

There’s a ton of digital comics sales going on for the season including Dynamite’s Army of Darkness series, just in time for Ash vs The Evil Dead. And it doesn’t get any better than this classic poster.

Street Angel, the homeless, skateboarding martial arts expert is back in a Halloween comic by Jim Rugg and Brian Maruca that is as perfect for the holiday as you can get.

I doesn’t get any more Halloweeny than this, a new graphic novel from Legendary Comics tying in to the 2007 cult film. And apparently, there’s a sequel on the way. From the twisted imagination of Trick ‘r Treat creator Michael Dougherty (director of the upcoming Krampus and Trick ‘r Treat 2 and screenwriter of X-Men 2 and Superman Returns) alongside a top-notch team of creators including writers Todd […]

This is one of those links that is to promote a website -- in this case Wholesale Halloween Costumes -- but the tutorials are cool enough to deserve a link. We all know Mad Max will be a big Halloween and cosplay favorite this year, and here';s who to make yourself a War Boy or Immortan Joe -- I guess to be a Sexy Furiosa all you need is some black eyeliner. The Joe costume is especially clever ..."you won't believe how they made his teeth!" I'm a total loser when it comes to crafting costumes -- I like dressing up but fabricating is far beyond my ken or skills, so I'm always impressed with anyone who can figure this stuff out.

I can’t actually vouch for the contents of this humorous book from the fine folks at The Devastator…but the cover is certainly seasonal. Oh, The Flesh You’ll Eat is a short comical book from writer Mike Levine, a contributor to The Onion, Heeb, The Devastator and McSweeney’s; and illustrator Jacob Vollum. It’s the same team […]
