Legendary announced today that Michael Dougherty’s cult classic “Trick ‘r Treat” and his upcoming film “Krampus” will be getting turned into a graphic novel for release this October and November. The “Trick ‘r Treat” graphic novel will explore four all new tales set in the Universe of the film franchise. “Krampus” looks like it will stick closer to the upcoming movies story, and dares you to “stay off the naughty list to survive Christmas”
“I’ve been having way too much fun working with Legendary and the rest of my team bringing the ancient legend of Krampus to the big screen, and I look forward to expanding the film’s dark Christmas mythology onto the comic page. And hopefully the fans who’ve been patiently waiting for TRICK ‘R TREAT 2 will enjoy this deeper peek into Sam’s world until he finally rises from the pumpkin patch once more. Happy Holidays.” -Michael Dougherty
