Trick ‘r Treat: Witching Hour features four original stories set in the world of the 2007 anthology horror film, that see adorable little Sam wreak havoc in brand new ways, bought to life by creators including Dougherty, Zach Shields (Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Trick’ r Treat: Days of the Dead), Todd Casey (Trick’ r Treat: Days of the Dead), Breehn Burns (Trick’ r Treat movie, Trick’ r Treat: The Haunting), and Curtis Waugh (Stegosaurus, the Moistest) .
The art of the graphic novel comes from Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night), Breehn Burns (Trick ‘r Treat movie original concept artist and comic illustrator), and Tristan Jones (Mad Max: Fury Road comics).
Here’s what Dougherty has to say on the upcoming book:
