I made this comic for Halloween, and although it’s long past Halloween, it is always Halloween in my heart. Anyway enjoy these little vampires.
Also if you’re in the LA area I’ll be at Comic Arts Los Angeles on the 9th and 10th of December. Come say hi and pick up this comic in print!
as is my tradition, I’ve been saving up spoopy halloween posts and the queue is locked and loaded to post them all day!! enjoy.
#this entire scene is a fucking masterpiece #the building tension in Barbossa’s cabin #the strings in the score rising ominously #and then the entire movie turns on a /dime/ #‘oh okay’ #I remember thinking #‘fucking GHOST PIRATES’ #it drops from historical swashbuckler to fantasy swashbuckler in one set piece #in which the rules for how the crew work are given to you purely in visuals #and you get to see that sharp difference between horror-horror and fun horror #because this scene genuinely terrifies Elizabeth #and delights /you/ #instead of being awful for both of you #god
it’s just so neatly done and raises the stakes for the film and puts
everything into context and adds depth to the characters #and comes as a complete surprise #this is all the things you want in a set piece #we should all aspire to storytelling so economical #(incidentally so should THE SEQUELS #christ) (via wizzard890)
I’ve posted it once and I’ll post it again.
It should be a rule of Halloween that you must honor this man in some way or another.
I think I laughed too hard, everyone in my class is staring at me omg
