In celebration of the recent release of The Headless Horseman Halloween Annual 2023 one-shot, the launch of Count Crowley: Mediocre Midnight Monster Hunter, and the stunning and bloody conclusion of The Lonesome Hunters: The Wolf Child, Dark Horse presents a special event at the historic Hollywood Theatre in Portland, Oregon.

On Thursday, November 2, Dark Horse continues the Halloween and spooky season celebrations with a screening of Frankenhooker—chosen especially for this event by actor and writer David Dastmalchian—followed by a discussion of horror comics with Tyler Crook and Lukas Ketner, hosted by Eric Li. While David Dastmalchian is not able to make it to the event in person, he will be introducing the film via a special video just for the audience.

A special limited-edition variant of The Headless Horseman Halloween Annual 2023, illustrated by Phillip Sevy, will also be available at the event for purchase from Dark Horse and Things From Another World along with other horror comics from both Tyler Crook and Lukas Ketner. The limited-edition (only 500 copies!) variant of The Headless Horseman Halloween Annual 2023 is priced at $20. For those who cannot make it to the event, the special variant is also available for sale at darkhorsedirect.com, while supplies last.

Event details: On Thursday, November 2, doors at the Hollywood Theatre (4122 NE Sandy Blvd. Portland, OR 97212) will open at 6:30 pm, followed by the film at 7:30 pm. Seating is first-come, first-served. Following the showing of Frankenhooker, comic creators Tyler Crook and Lukas Ketner will be joined by Eric Li on stage for a live Q&A session about the comics. Audience questions will also be encouraged, and if there is time, the creators will sign comics at the Dark Horse and TFAW tables in the lobby.

Tickets can be purchased online from the Hollywood Theatre’s website, hollywoodtheatre.org.
