Joe Hill Compares Hill House Comics To Going To The Video Store
<p dir="ltr">DC Comics has started to really develop its own brand of horror comics with Hill House Comics. Curating this new label is the writer behind Locke & Key and N0S4A2, Joe Hill--who is doing a <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/locke-and-key-and-the-sandman-crossover-gets-new-d/1100-6474563/">Sandman/Locke & Key crossover</a> this fall. While he writes two of the books at the label--Basketful of Heads and The Plunge--he's also helping others bring unique horror stories to DC.</p><p dir="ltr">Hill was inspired by early horror comics, before the Comics Code Authority forced censorship within the industry back in 1954. But what exactly is Hill House Comics and what can readers expect? "I've described Hill House Comics a couple of ways," Hill explained to GameSpot at C2E2. "One of the things I say a lot is that it's sort of Blumhouse for comics. Actually, the best comparison for Hill House Comics is when I was a kid, my favorite pastime was to go to the local mom & pop video store, and I'd go to the sleazy old horror section, and I'd groove in the sleazy horror section for an hour hunting down straight-to-video schlock horror to watch over the weekend. And every once in a while you'd find one, you'd find some schlocky piece of garbage horror. [One] that was actually brilliant, like Reanimator. I mean, without Reanimator there was, there was no Basketful of Heads.</p><p dir="ltr">"I look at Hill House Comics, I sort of like this video store of the mind. It's what's in the horror section in this impossible video store that exists outside of time. So you can dip in and find that horror film that you always hoped you would see."</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/joe-hill-compares-hill-house-comics-to-going-to-th/1100-6474671/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
