The Horror! The Horror!: American Vampire, Conjuring 2, & Freddy Krueger

Finally! An ongoing monthly article that makes you face the monsters in the closet. You can run, but you can't hide from our selected ghoulish items in PREVIEWS that will make you flee and scream bloody murder. Horror fiends: let the madness begin! This is the run-down on what ghastly items can be found in this month's PREVIEWS catalog, and if you can't take the chills, TOO BAD! This is where the children of the night gather, and howl at the moon without apology.

American Vampire Omnibus HC

Ignore those bats flying overhead at your own peril! Yes there are such things as vampires, especially when the culprit for all the neck-biting in town can be found in the American Vampire Omnibus HC (APR180291), which collects American Vampire #1-27, American Vampire: Survival Of The Fittest #1-5 and American Vampire: Lord Of Nightmares #1-5! Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque's classic horror for Vertigo can be unearthed in the DC Comics section of the April PREVIEWS catalog!

Ice Cream Man Volume 1: Rainbow Sprinkles TP

Move over Crypt Keeper! There's a new storyteller in town. Even though he's not a storyteller...but he's in the story. Sort of. And we don't know exactly what he is, other than he's creepy, and he seems to know which road you should walk if you want to see your life careen off a cliff, or be ended by wild dogs, or suicide, or any other means of demise that will make your flesh crawl. If you want good ol' fashioned dread back in your doldrums, pick up Ice Cream Man Volume 1: Rainbow Sprinkles TP (APR180546), and meet a man who with a snap of his fingers-lickety split!-can change the course of your life forever. Check it out from Image Comics in the April PREVIEWS catalog!

It Came Out On A Wednesday #1

A new anthology that harkens back to those days when titles like Unexpected and other weird horror tomes could be found on the spinner rack, waiting for you to plop down a couple of coins to be entertained by a variety of deviant minds. Harkening back to a time when several psychos would gather together to conjure new comics that would contort your mind via warped words and pictures, the new bi-monthly ongoing double-sized anthology It Came Out On A Wednesday #1 (APR181244) features stunning cover art, interviews, ongoing stories, a comic contest, and previews of upcoming Alterna titles! Look for it in the Comics/Graphic Novels/Print section of the April PREVIEWS catalog!

Nightmare On Elm Street: Freddy Furnace Diorama

Normally you'll find the evidence in the furnace. A scrap of burnt clothing. A denture. If you're lucky, a skull. But that's only if ol' hamburger face was in a rush. Normally he's not so careless. See, the Nightmare On Elm Street: Freddy Furnace Diorama (DEC178322) is a throwback to the original sequences featured in the first Nightmare movie, where Freddy's origin is whispered as if you were crouched around a camp fire. That's why this diorama features a hinged door and internal LED lights. All the more realistic. All the more to scare you! This replica that looks exactly like its on-screen counterpart can be found in the Toys/Statues/Models section of the April PREVIEWS catalog!

The Living Dead Dolls: The Conjuring 2 Nun Doll

Maybe you didn't get the email: there is no Hell. So good luck trying to send her there! No gate to open. No ticket to punch. She's now your cross to bear, and we mean that from the bottom of our blackest hearts. The Living Dead Dolls: The Conjuring 2 Nun Doll (DEC178318) comes right on the heels of the blockbuster film, and this devilish doll is dressed in the nun's trademark habit with necklace, and sports five points of articulation. She may have been introduced in The Conjuring 2, but now she's a permanent fixture in your life, and there is no forgiveness in store for you. No matter how much you repent...your soul belongs to her...the Defiler! Look for this supernatural villain in the Toys/Statues/Models section of the April PREVIEWS catalog!

Hope you liked this month's line-up of creepy crawly things. See you here next month for another installment of PREVIEWS' ongoing editorial, The Horror! The Horror!
