Greetings ghosts and ghoulies and welcome to The Theatre of Terror the home of horror comic news, reviews, classic comic scans and creepy art from around the world. Just remember, it's not for the nervous!
I like the idea of using the Theatre of Terror as…. a theatre! and showing comic strips from Scream on a regular basis. We can also use the site to show any new comic strips we or anyone else makes. I’ll get in touch with whoever runs this Action site http://www.sevenpennynightmare.co.uk and see if they want to ‘play’ some of their comic scans on this site as well like a ‘guest contributor’
I also love Italian Spiderman. He is officially the man. I like the idea of ‘playing’ things in the theatre. Hopefully it will encourage people to log on and get their weekly hit of whatever the hell we are currently ‘showing’ on the Theatre of Terror.
With all this in mind i’m going to start showing the new(ish) Hammer film ‘Beyond the Rave’ in weekly installments. I’ve not seen it myself because i dont seem to have the time, but maybe i will if i can watch it in snippets on this site.
I found this enjoyable article on the classic Hammer Horrors while looking up some stuff about the new Hammer studios. It comes from a site called “Obsessed With Film”.
It’s got a bit of the history of the original studio, good summary of the impact of the movies in their time and place, and some great pictures.
Do you want to join the Scream team? We're looking for enthusiastic people to contribute articles on horror or comics here on The Theatre of Terror. Contact me for more info.
