Trick 'r Treat: Legendary Comics Launches Kickstarter for a Spooky New Comic!
Sam's Back, Baby! Legendary Comics' Trick 'r Treat Kickstarter is LIVE!
Get ready for some serious Halloween chills, horror fans! Legendary Comics just launched a Kickstarter campaign for a brand-new Trick 'r Treat graphic novel, and it’s already blowing up! This means that beloved mascot Sam is officially returning and that those amazing anthology stories are going to get new adaptations and this announcement alone should make anyone excited, especially fans from the original movie.
The Kickstarter is for Trick 'r Treat: Witching Hours, a graphic novel with new tales from Michael Dougherty (the original movie's creator!) plus a killer lineup of writers and artists. This whole setup sounds unbelievably intense, creating intense anticipation!
A Freaky New Anthology: Four Tales of Halloween Horror
Trick 'r Treat was an instant classic, folks! That perfect blend of horror and comedy and its awesome Halloween vibe is part of everyone’s favorite yearly festivities. Now Witching Hours is diving back into that classic atmosphere and the success behind the storyline in those awesome short stories which were only possible within that structure. Expect plenty of monsters, space horror, creepy ghosts–and Sam, obviously.
- "One Last Dance": A spirit's return to connect with his wife…revealing a terrifying secret.
- "Halloween Country": Wyoming ranchers fight something really scary after messing with a weird ritual.
- "Never Too Old": A group of older people getting spooky, involving Sam’s involvement.
Those stories sound great; enough to hold people over until Trick ‘r Treat 2 actually arrives!
Why This Comic Feels Exactly Like the Movie!
That first Trick ‘r Treat comic (Days of the Dead) was a big hit! Yet while its stories are top-notch and awesomely terrifying; its shift between centuries focusing on Halloween’s long history (including Sam’s ancient origin) felt removed from what initially created all that massive popularity from its initial release.
The film’s originality comes from capturing those small darker elements hidden within Americana. Witching Hours seems like it's really aiming for that feel which will be what this storyline really needs to maintain that amazing balance of comedy and those darker elements – a necessary blend for keeping a consistent mood throughout. That's seriously smart; capitalizing and recognizing the core aspects which mattered!
The Kickstarter: Join the Spooky Fun (and Get Rewards!)
That Kickstarter's running now with a $90,000 goal and is surprisingly almost completed already; this demonstrates how beloved the title already is, before even its full development! Those interested should go and check this out immediately before the chance expires, because there's a ton of amazing rewards! Those involved also include that 10th-anniversary edition of Krampus: Shadow of Saint Nicholas which gives even greater incentive for those fans.
For Sam fans (all horror fans in general), it sounds awesome! Go support that Kickstarter. This might end up being that definitive and awesome continuation we all truly need. This kind of anthology storytelling is going to work wonderfully in this graphic novel format, emphasizing and celebrating its creative storytelling approach to something that really can’t happen without embracing the structure entirely.
Conclusion: A Must-Have Comic for Every Trick ‘r Treat Fan!
This new Trick ‘r Treat comic from Legendary Comics promises a wild, awesome return. Sam fans and anthology fans will definitely be impressed. It’s totally hitting that sweet spot– honoring that original vibe, bringing in new terrors. Don't miss out!
