Den of Geek is celebrating “Spooky Season” in its home city at New York Comic Con. To mark the occasion and kick-off a month of Halloween and horror-related content at DenofGeek.com, Den of Geek is proud to present its exclusive New York Comic Con print issue, with a cover that celebrates new horror offerings from Marvel, NBCUniversal, Hulu, and more.

Den of Geek has partnered with ReedPop, the event company behind New York Comic Con, to produce the official New York Comic Con show guide, which is featured inside the issue and distributed to show attendees at the Javits Center from October 6-9. This year’s NYCC magazine is bursting at the seams with horror articles, spotlighting cover stars Werewolf by Night, Michael Myers, Pinhead, and more haunting the cover designed by artist Neil Jameison.

Inside The Issue

Readers will find engrossing looks at some of the biggest entertainment properties of the year. Composer-turned-director Michael Giacchino gives us all of the gory details about Marvel’s Halloween special, Werewolf by Night, touching on his deep appreciation for practical effects and classic monster movies. The fall movie preview highlights all of the can’t-miss releases hitting cinemas this fall, including a look at the final confrontation between Michael Myers and Jaime Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode in Halloween Ends. Further, director David Bruckner gives us a sneak peek at his Hellraiser reimagining for Hulu, including why horror icon Pinhead might look a little different this time around.

The issue also includes a candid chat with comic icons Todd McFarlane and Greg Capullo ahead of their Batman Spawn crossover event, as well as an interview with actor Paul Dano, who’s recent turn as The Riddler in Matt Reeves’ The Batman inspired him to continue exploring the character through the pages of a brand-new comic book. As always, Den of Geek provides an official NYCC show guide so attendees can stay in the loop with the very best that the convention has to offer, and for those traveling to New York specifically for NYCC, you’ll be treated to some spooky sightseeing courtesy of our Haunted New York tour guide. Still not scared? Well, follow along as we rank the best horror movies of the last 15 years in honor of our 15th anniversary!
