Themes…

At first my main inspirations for creating the comic came from the classic doctor who serials. I wanted to take the formula of splitting a story down into 3-4 parts and feature a monster or a strange entity that the characters have to deal with.

I later combined those insperations with my love of horror B-Movies.

Watching stupid teens run away from a guy in a rubber suit can never get old. I would love to watch any B-movie, good or bad, that I can get my hands on. It’s pure entertainment; from the shoddy camera work, laughable special effects to the hilariously bad acting.

Nowadays there are B-movies, indie or Hollywood, that try to push for a much serious tone. It can work well having high production values but in the end there’s a girl running away from a comically giant tree monster.

This is how I came to the idea of making this comic just fun and entertaining. Funnny enough, I wanted it to be serious and emo until a the though popped up in my head; “There’s people being eaten by giant plants, can you take that seriously?”

To be fair certain movies or shows can pull off some really creepy and scary situations. Going back to my love of Doctor Who I remember how fans would talk about how scary the Cybermen or Daleks back when Patrick Troughton was wrestling the controls of the Tardis.

Now most kids today think the Cybermen and the Daleks are cool, so of course we have to bring in some new monsters to scare the little brats and give them nightmares. For example; The Weeping Angels. Even as an adult now they still give me the chills and the brilliant writing behind it gave us the number one rule, “Don’t Blink!”

What I want to do for this comic is make it campy, fun and exciting like B-movie mixed with a few chills and creepy moments.
