Holliston Goes to Hell in a New Comic Adaption

Posted on by

Your favorite characters from the TV series Holliston are back, and this time they’re going straight to hell in “Holliston Goes to Hell,” the third book in the graphic novel series based on the fan-favorite horror sit-com. When “Adam,” “Joe,” “Laura,” and “Corri” attend their High School Reunion an ancient colonial curse creates a gigantic sinkhole that swallows the entire town of Holliston, MA down to Hell! Now the gang must each face off with their darkest personal fear if they’re to save their souls from the clutches of the Devil himself!

Created by filmmaker Adam Green (the Hatchet franchise, Frozen), Holliston originally ran for two seasons in 2012/2013 on the FEARnet cable television network. In 2014 as the show was gearing up to start on a third season, Holliston suffered the tragic loss of cast member Dave Brockie (GWAR) and the FEARnet network was dissolved in a merger between Comcast and Time Warner. The graphic novel series from Source Point Press has kept Holliston alive for fans by delivering new stories while they continue to hope for news of a new season.

Holliston Goes to Hell is the third Holliston graphic novel from Source Point Press and ArieScope Pictures, written by Greg Wright and illustrated by Stephen Sharar. The previous books in the series, Holliston: Friendship is Tragic and Holliston: Carnival of Carnage, are available in stores and online from both ArieScope Pictures and Source Point Press, as well as digital sites such as Comixology and DriveThru Comics. Seasons 1 and 2 of Holliston are currently streaming on Shudder in North America. Both seasons are also available digitally and on DVD/Blu-ray.

Holliston Goes to Hell will be available in comic shops and online at sourcepointpress.com on Wednesday, Oct. 27, 2021.
