John Carpenter's Tales for a HalloweeNight: Volume 1 by John Carpenter, Sandy King, Steven Hoveke
2.0
It was good for a quick read, and I guess it was entertaining enough, but everything was pretty forgettable. It wasn’t particularly bad or offensive, just.... very cliché and uninteresting.
“Some Grub” was my favorite out of the six. I actually did enjoy that one—I thought the story-telling character was immediately hatable (means he has a solid personality), and I liked the switching between immersion in the story and coming back to the atmosphere of the diner. The waitress’s unassuming comment as she drops the coffee was an “oh shit” moment.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend paying money for the book, but if you find it at your local library like I did and just feel like reading some horror comics, it’s not the worst choice you could make. ...Not the best choice you could make, either. Go pick up some Junji Ito.
