An ICv2 Release. Horror is one of the hottest genres in entertainment, with movies, television, and other media supporting a growing flow of games, comics, manga, merch and other products. The growing Halloween retail season has evolved into the best time to sell horror-themed products, with movie releases and television shows showcasing the genre and retailer displays and promotions building on that foundation.
"Horror has become increasingly important as a genre in the geek categories we cover," ICv2 Publisher Milton Griepp said as the new ICv2 event was announced. "And that trend has been moving in tandem with the growing importance of Halloween as a shopping season. We're hosting this event to focus on the growing genre and season, and the opportunities they represent. We want to thank our sponsors, Dark Horse Comics, Friendly Skeleton, and Hachette Boardgames for their support."
Watch ICv2 every day during Horror Week for more on what's happening in this fast-growing genre.
