It’s October. And that means it’s time for things to get a little scary… in the best way. At Nerdist, we agree that fear is an art. And, as new forms of writing and creation develop, that art becomes more complex and intricately beautiful every day. If you’re heading to NYCC this weekend and want to add a little something hauntingly delicious to your schedule, we’d like to invite you to WEBTOON’s panel, The Quiet Page: The Art of Fear. It’ll feature some excellent insights from some of today’s most talented horror comics and novel creators and give you a whole new look at what it takes to successfully bring scares to the page.
Here is the full description of WEBTOON’s NYCC panel:
Horror in film has long employed storytelling devices like the jump-scare, controlled pacing, and suspenseful music to build eerie atmospheres and create a sense of dread. But how do you master the art of telling truly terrifying tales on the page? Creators of horror comics and novels have mastered this art, invoking terror with dialogue, scrolling, and carefully crafted images. Whether you’re a horror aficionado, an aspiring creator, or simply curious about the inner workings of fear-inducing storytelling, hear from some of the biggest names (and most twisted minds) in horror comics and fiction on how they create panic on the page.
Doesn’t that sound like an incredible conversation? We know it sounds absolutely faBOOlous to us. The panel will take place on Saturday, October 19, in Room 409 of New York Comic Con. It’ll happen from 3:15 – 4:15 PM ET. Below you can check out the incredible featured panelists (and some of their eeriest works):
