An when an unsuspecting couple decides to visit the old movie house to watch some horror films, they soon will find that something full of horror is also watching them.

We caught up with writer, Raven Gregory, to talk about the comic.

Horror News Network: We have seen teasers, but what the heck is The Theater all about?

Raven Gregory: THE THEATER is the story of an old-fashioned movie theater which holds a dark secret that threatens the lives of those who dare enter it.  And when an unsuspecting couple decides to visit the old movie house to watch some horror films, they soon find that something full of horror is also watching them.


Horror News Network: How did you come up with the concept for this book?

Raven Gregory: Sometimes I get a scene trapped in my head and the story spills out from that.  Without spoiling too much in the first issue there is a scene at the beginning and the end of the book.  Everything that is this series spilled out of that one scene. 


Horror News Network: Who are the main characters in this book?

Raven Gregory: Man, this is tough.  If I say who the main characters are it kind ruins the big twist to the whole series.  Let’s just say the people who run the theater itself play a major role in the series. 


Horror News Network: What can we expect in terms of blood and guts?

Raven Gregory: There’s not as much as normally but there is still quite a bit.  This series is really different than any kind of horror I’ve done before so I’m hoping people dig the new direction. 


Horror News Network: Which artist is joining you on this book?

Raven Gregory: Martin Montiel is on the first issue.  His art always blows me away.  Artgerm, Ebas, Tyler Kirkham and others are on cover duties and have done some of the best covers I have ever seen. 


Horror News Network: Where can we find out more about The Theater?

Horror News Network: In closing, what would you like to say about The Theater?

Raven Gregory: You’ve never seen horror like this before.
