AVATAR PRESS HORROR TITLES
Avatar Press has provided The Continuum with the covers to its upcoming one-shots in May based on New Line Cinema horror properties Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
All of the books will be 32-page one-shot specials, written by Brian Pulido and released in May. Juan Jose Ryp is providing the Nightmare on Elm Street art, Mike Wolfer in on Friday the 13th and Jacen Burrows is on Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Here's how Avatar describes the books:
* Nightmare on Elm Street: "After the events of Freddy vs. Jason, the adults of Springwood have turned the town into a police state, out to suppress any knowledge of Freddy so their kids don't keep dying. If teens are afraid of Freddy he can invade their dreams and murder them, but as a lost secret, he is powerless. Emily, a rebellious teen and aspiring journalist wants to blow the lid off Springwood's secret and tell it to the world. When her best friend Lindsay is abducted by police, Emily enlists aid from Alex and Sandy that leads them to Westin Hills Psychiatric Center. As Freddy hunts them one by one, Emily comes closer to the truth. Will she survive to tell it?"
* Friday the 13: "After the events of Freddy vs. Jason, Laura Upland has had it. She's one of two squabbling siblings who have inherited the land Camp Crystal Lake was built on. Their latest stalemate is how to deal with the destruction done at the Crystal Lake Resorts. Laura knows Jason Voorhees caused it. He is out there and until he's done in, they won't be able to sell those lucrative time-shares. Unknown to her brother Miles, she enacts a plan to kill Jason that will rip her family apart. Literally. Can a paramilitary group, armed to the teeth, survive against a supernatural unstoppable killing machine? Take a guess."
* Texas Chainsaw Massacre: "Fuller, Texas. Summer 1972. Three escaped convicts, along with a few girls along for the ride, are joy riding across rural Texas robbing banks,
heading for Mexico. When they stop to rob the Hewitt family General store,
they enter a horrifying world of madness and depravity that even a maximum
security prison couldn't prepare them for as Leatherface, Sheriff Hoyt, Old
Monty and the entire Hewitt clan hunt them down. It gets messy."
