Back in 2014, we were getting fairly excited here at the Big Comic Page about SLASHERMANIA, a fantastic-sounding project from Freaktown Comics which sees a group of unsuspecting teens being lured into a serial killer “gameshow” of sorts, with maniacs from around the world competing in various categories to appease the audience.
Sadly, due to a variety of reasons, it never materialised, but we’re thrilled to announced that creator Russell Hillman has just launched a brand new Kickstarter for the project, which you can check out by CLICKING HERE.
The Kickstarter campaign runs from 13th August – 13th September, and you can follow Freaktown Comics on Twitter for a daily art tease and a slasher-themed poll, and can download a preview by CLICKING HERE.
Hillman and Freaktown Comics have a great track record for 80s-style schlock horror with titles like Deadly Burlesque and The Dark of the Forest, so we’re absolutely thrilled to see this comic making a comeback. As you can see from the preview, the designs of the “slashers” look fantastic, and Hillman’s knack for mixing horror and humour serves this project in good stead.
So, feast your eyes on the official trailer below, make sure to download the preview, and click through to the Kickstarter to see if any of the backer rewards tickle your fancy.
