Hellbound Media have launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for a graphic novel collecting all of Slaughterhouse Farm in one collection PLUS this new release will feature over ten BRAND NEW pages, adding more deaths, gore, and kills, expanding the horror in true classic uncut horror style. These new ‘remastered’ deleted scenes are drawn by Arfon Jones and shaded by Atlantisvampir. This is the ultimate SLAUGHTERHOUSE FARM graphic novel and the best way to experience the full TERROR!
So even if you have the original released 4 part series you WILL want to get your hands on this release for all the new content included inside its gory pages.
Hellbound Media’s hugely popular grindhouse seventies-inspired slasher comic is being released as a brand new COLLECTED TRADE edition, featuring the entire story, plus at least TEN pages of brand new ‘deleted scenes’, restored with the help of Atlantisvampir. This book runs for over 130-pages of extreme carnage!
“Slaughterhouse Farm” sees a group of troubled teenagers taken by their social workers for a team building exercise in North Wales. However, they breakdown and encounter the monstrous farmer known as Pigfu***r, and soon they find themselves fighting for their lives. “Slaughterhouse Farm” is Wales’ very own slasher horror, written by Matt Warner & AJ Ballard, with Art by Arfon Jones.
The new book will be available first on Kickstarter to allow people to not only pre-order and grab the first copies, but also get a range of exciting bonus rewards and extras. These include a series of original Art Prints, Pin Badges, Zombie Pig Plushies, Original and Unique Art, T-Shirts, and more!
Hellbound Media is an independent British-based comic company founded and run by Mark Adams and Matt Warner. Mark and Matt Adams are the editors and creative partners behind Hellbound Media, a company that continues to build its reputation for dark fantasy and horror comics.
We asked Matt Adams a few questions about this new release and what is to come up next from Hellbound Media.
What was your inspiration behind Slaughterhouse Farm?
Slaughterhouse Farm essentially started from Matt Warner’s desire to give Wales its very own slasher villain, in the vein of Jason or Leatherface. The inspiration for the comic is very much those seventies grindhouse horrors, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Last House On the Left, The Hills Have Eyes. Films with a very grimy, dark feel. But relocated to contemporary North Wales and Snowdonia! Artist Arfon Jones is from this area, so can bring a real authenticity to it!
Will there be collections of your other releases done like this one?
We’re planning to release some other collections eventually. The original run of “Slaughterhouse Farm” was several years ago, now, and we thought it was time to bring it all together. We’re definitely revisiting our back catalogue again, although when will partly depend on how well the Kickstarter for Slaughterhouse Farm goes.
What can fans expect in the future from Hellbound Media?
It’s not just our back catalogue, Matt and I have a whole range of new ideas. We’re working on a new volume of our hugely popular Shock Value anthology series, as well as a few new sequels to previous titles. There’s also some brand new one shot horror comics in the works. We’ve also started expanding more in filmmaking as well. Often it’s a case of following wherever our creativity takes us… which can often be some very dark and disturbing (but also fun?) places!
The Kickstarter campaign is live now and the team have a goal set at £2,000 with plenty of perks up for grabs including signed copies of Slaughterhouse Farm and a handmade Zombie Pig Plushie.
