Refrigerator Full Of Heads Is Sequel To Joe Hill's Basketful Of Heads

Locke & Key co-creator Joe Hill has a line of horror comic books he produces from DC Comics called Hill House Comics. We haveen't heard much of it of late as a real-life horror of a pandemic got in the way. But as DC Comics is set to publish a box set collection of all the published stories – including an exclusive collection of the back-up Sea Dogs story, so EW has run with the beginning of another batch of Hill House Comics for Halloween.

Basketful of Heads, originally written by Hill with art by LEOMACS, is getting a new follow-up series with the new title Refrigerator Full of Heads, to be written by Rio Youers and drawn by Thomas Fowler.

Refrigerator Full of Heads will bring readers back to Brody Island, years after a mysterious axe unleashed violent havoc during the 1983 hurricane detailed in the previous book. Vacationing couple Calvin Beringer and Arlene Fields quickly find themselves face-to-face with some of Brody's more unsavory aspects: On top of that axe, there's also a new sheriff in town, new visitors, and a dangerous Great White Shark spotted off the coast.

Refrigerator Full of Heads is a six-issue series, published by DC Comics from the 19th of October, and monthly after that.  There may be more to come. The Hill House Box Set will be published one week later on the 26th of October.

• Basketful Of Heads
  #1 New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill asks, "With a cursed Viking axe, what can you accomplish?" and June Branch is ready to answer!
  Heads will roll…
  June Branch is in trouble. She's trapped on Brody Island with nowhere to run. Her boyfriend, Liam, has been kidnapped. And four bloodthirsty escaped convicts will stop at nothing to find her.
  All poor June has to defend herself with is a strange Viking axe with the terrifying power to decapitate a person and leave their head still talking.
  If she's going to save Liam and herself, June will have to keep a cool head…or even a whole basketful of them!
