Comic books and horror go together like oatmeal and sausage…
what? It’s a good meal combo! Anyway, we have gotten quite a few horror movies
based on comic properties over the years. The first one I can really think of
is Swamp Thing the 1980’s. Of course, DC and Marvel have been over this for
years with characters like Swamp Thing, Blade, John Constantine, and others
characters hitting live-action. Even Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of
Madness tried its hand at horror and succeeded in my opinion. Don’t know if it
succeeded at the Multiverse aspect though, but that’s another story.
Today’s post is going to be about some comic movies that
don’t have that DC bullet nor the Marvel insignia on it. Marvel and DC are not
the only ones that have put out good comics, folks. Diversify that shelf or
longbox a bit. First, we got The Crow from 1994 starring Brandon Lee, a movie
that I have been wanting to see for years. Next, we got Spawn from 1997, a
movie that I kinda had to fill out the list with. I am no Spawn fan, but it has
Michael Jai White, so it can’t be too horrible… right? Finally, I got a double
watch from my recent COVID sit: Hellboy and Hellboy. Yes, I made that confusing
on purpose. First, it’s Hellboy from 2004 with Ron Pearlman. Last, it’s Hellboy
from 2019 featuring David Harbour.
