As Fright Night writer/director Tom Holland has been teasing this year, the film’s universe will be expanded upon with a brand new comic series, with the title Fright Night: The Peter Vincent Chronicles revealed just last week. And guess what? Issue #0 is now available!
Billed as a sequel to the 1985 film, the 24-page original comic book is based on a story by Tom Holland, focusing on the adventures of Peter Vincent immediately following the events of the first film. It’s intended to serve as a bridge into future Fright Night comic books.
“It’s all I could hope for. A great continuation of the original,” said Holland. “Roddy would be proud to know his creation was continuing his journey in such high (and bloody) style. Ben Meares’s story is a winner and Riley Schmitz’s artwork captures the Fright Night experience for today’s fans. Onward, with The Peter Vincent Chronicles!”
A limited edition Deluxe Edition package is also being offered, which will contain the comic book, an exclusive print by artist Riley Schmitz (signed by Holland), a Peter Vincent “Fang Club” commemorative coin and a replica of Peter Vincent’s vampire-hunting stake produced by veteran special effects artist Stephen Imhoff (signed by Holland). Both the commemorative coin and the stake replica are taken directly from the pages of the upcoming comic.
Fright Night: The Peter Vincent Chronicles Issue 0 is now up for pre-order and will be available for order on Friday, August 3rd, exclusively from Terror Time.
The comic book is scripted and edited by Ben Meares (Hellraiser: Anthology, Grimm Tales of Terror) and illustrated by Riley Schmitz (Hellraiser: Anthology, Invisible Hands).
