Vicious Circus 2022 Halloween Special: Killer Clown Horror
A fugitive suspected serial killer hides in a Halloween haunted house, only to find horrors even greater than himself within.
- Current Funding: $3,317
- Funding Goal: $3,000
- Days Left: 8
- Link: Vicious Circus 2022 Halloween Special: Killer Clown Horror
When a suspected serial child murderer escapes police by hiding in a defunct Halloween haunted house attraction, he finds himself terrified by more than just the rusted animatronics and old-fashioned jump scares, for the midway madhouse he ducked into is infested…with the vengeful clowns of the Vicious Circus.
The Vicious Circus 2022 Halloween Special is a 24-page, self-contained tale of your favorite anti-hero killer clowns, firmly entrenched in the trappings and feel of our favorite holiday. The Halloween Special is written by Vicious Circus co-creator Kevin LaPorte and illustrated by Oscar Pinto (Heavy Metal), with colors by Vito Potenza (Vicious Circus: Satanic Panic; Scissor Sisters).
Vicious Circus is a revenge fantasy horror in which killer clowns run amok, hunting – not children – but evil adults who victimize the innocent and the helpless. In this world, the little ones saved from those predators are sheltered in the circus and transformed to be its denizens, their damage and strengths turned to fit the needs of the show. In the Vicious Circus, every carnie – every performer – is a survivor and a piece in the spectacle that roams the land and frees kids from those who would harm them.

Belial #1 – 3
The 32pg third installment to the Hell action comedy has Belial gunning for Death and dealing with the betrayal from his closest ally.
- Current Funding: $3,328
- Funding Goal: $5,500
- Days Left: 18
- Link Belial #1 – 3
Belial is a 32-page action adventure hell comedy about the original creator of Hell. Lucifer has taken his domain from him, and after centuries of wasting away in a crummy bar he’s had enough! Now, with his impish cohort Linc and bar manager/former general Mammon, he seeks to take his powers back from the Four Horsemen and usurp Lucifer to once more be the ruler of all Hell!
Co-created by Shaun Barbour and Chuck Pineau this is more than just a comedic take on Hell. This is a chance for both creators to bring their sense of fun to comics, to temporarily ignore the shitstorm that is our world, and just laugh and enjoy.
