LEATHERFACE VS THE CRYPTIC CREEPER!!
Actor Bret Wagner, renowned for his portrayal of Leatherface in the 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, joins forces with The Horror House Shop, The Cryptic Closet, and Guerrilla Publishing for an exciting new horror comic anthology, launching on Kickstarter this Halloween.
In 2019, The Horror House Shop and The Cryptic Closet embarked on a passion project inspired by iconic EC Comics titles like The Crypt of Terror and The Haunt of Fear, adding their own unique twist. This collaboration birthed the acclaimed Tales from the Cryptic Closet series. Over three issues, the anthology has showcased diverse talents including writers, artists, and pro wrestlers like Josh Hull (Glorious), Karrion Kross (WWE), Danhausen (AEW), Anthony Cleveland (Mad Cave), Bill Halliar (HorrorHound Magazine), Nathan Erdel (True Terror with Robert Englund), Jon Parrish (Scout Comics), Rafael Nieves (Marvel Comics), and many more.
Returning just in time for Halloween, the series launches its fourth spine-chilling installment, featuring an exclusive introduction from Wagner himself. This edition brings back many familiar creators, alongside fresh talent like Lillian Bonner, Eric Wolfgang (Aw Yeah Comics), and Isaac Popovich.
The Kickstarter campaign offers an array of rewards, including a collector’s cereal box set of all four issues, the first-ever Cryptic Creeper collectible figure, exclusive apparel, and more. Stay updated and prepare for the terror by visiting Kickstarter for launch notifications.
