The Midnite Show Will Bring Classic Movie Monsters To You in the New Dark Horse Series

If you’re a fan of supernatural horror, you’re in for a treat! Dark Horse Comics is bringing a whole new world of horror to comic book readers with their new four-issue series, ‘The Midnite Show‘. the series comes from The Sixth Gun creators Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt, with the help of colorist Bill Crabtree and letterer Jim Campbell.

The story follows a cursed movie production, and the horror fans who are caught in the crossfire, determined to bring their bad dreams to life. As movie monsters jump from the silver screen into the real world, would-be victims now see their favorite monsters become their worst nightmare.

Dark Horse‘s description of The Midnite Show reads:

Basil Saxon is a legend among horror fans. Over fifty years ago, he vanished during a freak accident on the set of the film that would have been his masterpiece. The cursed film–God of Monsters–was never completed and has never been seen.

But when a film festival shows footage from the long-lost movie, classic horror monsters manifest to wreak havoc and terror on the unsuspecting populace. A ragtag group of misfits must band together to stop the most famous creatures of all time and send them back to the realm of celluloid nightmares.

Bunn shared that this series has been “popcorn horror”, saying:

“I’ve been calling this book ‘popcorn horror.’ It’s a book that’s full of chills and thrills. Our heroes are in terrible danger. The monsters they are facing are terrifying. But this story is also a lot of fun! A horror romp with action, humor, heart, and a lot of bloodshed. These monsters mean bloody business!” 

Classic movie monsters have always been a staple for the horror genre and we have seen many adaptations in many different mediums but not often do we see them rip through the big screen and into our lives to make us part of the harrowing tales. This is very much in line with Monster Squad meets Last Action Hero and as two of my favorite films, this is an instant day-one pickup. Join the madness from the creators that delivered over 70 issues of the haunted western series The Sixth Gun.

The Midnite Show #1 will be available at your favorite local comic shop and digitally on October 4, 2023.
