Yesterday, IDW announced that Barker is making his return to comics with Seduth. Coming in October, this horror comic (with the art team of Gabriel Rodriguez and Jay Fotos from Locke & Key and co-writer Chris Monfette) will be coming at us in 3-D. According to IDW:
Clive Barker, himself, even gave his thoughts on the project:In Seduth, Barker tells the tale of celebrated architect Harold Engle, who first glimpses the small cloud of darkness inside a glittering, priceless diamond, without any knowledge of the terrible plague contained within. Seduth follows Engle on a surreal journey through murder and madness to the very heart of existence and a terrible, impossible choice-to unravel the very fabric of the world, or to save it?
What do you think? Are you in the mood for a good horror comic? Are you a fan of Clive Barker's? Do you like 3-D comics? Seduth will be a 32-page comic with no ads. 3-D glasses are included.I have always felt that comics as a medium are still in a relatively early stage in their development-there are so many roads still to be taken. It is a medium which can afford to take risks, and we're taking them. This is, in more than one sense, a dream project. It is my first chance to co-produce with my best friend Robb Humphreys on a story that really touches our shared interests in the power of hallucinations and visions. It also brought me together with Chris Monfette, who will certainly be a part of my creative life for many years to come if I have any say in the matter. Add the art of Gabriel, the color of Jay and the amazingly mind-blowing talents of Ray Zone, this fulfills my dream of Seduth completely.

The lamest kind of horror just relies on things jumping out, that's only good if you wanna hear people squeal like pig. If you're looking for something that'll put a real fright in you, literature is the best. Read some of H. P. Lovecraft's work.

@HaloKing343: Your not Strange its just not your thing, as for me I love Horror/Comedy Comics it goes really well together like the Walking Dead series and Buffy the Vampire Slayer but idk sometimes Horror can be done really Corny but Mr.Barker is a Horror God so should be a fun read.
This makes me think of this experiment you can do with a horror movie. Watch a horror movie, but turn off the sound. You will find that without the sound and the music it's just not frightening.
If they go for the psychological aspect it's one thing, but slasher horror would just blend in with all the ultra violent comics out there.

A lot of horror movies would be better without the music giving away every cue.

Horror comics haven't ever appealed to me. The genra of horror is best in films, where you can see things jumping out at you from corners. Next are novels, where the horror of it is entirely up to your interpretation.
But horror in my opinion as never been too good in the comic medium. l wonder why l'm so strange.
