American horror film director John Carpenter’s annual horror anthology Tales for a Halloween Night Volume Nine, for Storm King Comics, includes work by 2000AD writer Alec Worley and award-winning artist David Hitchcock.
“My tale’s called ‘These Walls’,” says Alec, “and it’s about a haunted house that wants to become human.”
Tales for a Halloween Night Volume Nine offers twelve twisted tales of terror, tricks, and treats, from the hearts and minds of John Carpenter, the man who brought you the classic horror film Halloween and all the scares beyond, and writer, editor, and producer Sandy King.
In Volume Nine of the award-winning graphic novel series, Carpenter and King bring together the best storytellers from movies, novels, and comics for another spine-tingling collection of stories that will haunt you.
Each story is a standalone surprise that captures the essence of the best night of the year. We dare you to read it all the way to the end. If you get too scared, just remember, it’s only a comic… it’s only a comic… or is it?
Happy Halloween!
