An ICv2 Release.  Halloween is now a major shopping season, with around three quarters of all consumers making purchases tied to the holiday, according to an NRF survey.  ICv2 is responding to this trend with our second annual ICv2 Horror Week, when we focus on the trends and products driving sales in the horror genre, in time to help the trade plan for this year’s season.

"Halloween is the perfect time for retailers to showcase the many products that fit the season, and ICv2 is here to identify trends and products that can help," ICv2 Publisher Milton Griepp said in announcing this year's Horror Week.  "Horror is taking over pop culture, and there's more opportunity than ever before.  We want to thank our Sponsors, Dark Horse Comics, Renegade Game Studios, BOOM! Studios, Incredible Dream, and Tokyopop, for their support of this event."

Watch ICv2 every day during Horror Week for more on what's happening in this fast-growing genre.
