During the recent 2014 San Diego Comic-Con, Daily Dead attended the Horns press conference, which featured director Alexandre Aja, star Daniel Radcliffe (making his first-ever SDCC appearance) and author Joe Hill, who wrote the book that inspired Aja’s feature film adaptation.

Check out some of the video highlights from the press conference including Hill and Radcliffe’s thoughts on Aja’s approach for bringing Horns to the big screen, the challenges both the director and the film’s star faced in regards to balancing out the different tones to the material for their genre-bending collaboration, and why Hill believes Aja’s film is better (or at least more exciting) than his own novel.

Look for more on Horns exclusively in the preview issue of DEADLY - Horror & Sci-Fi Magazine coming this September and be sure to check out Aja’s latest when it arrives in theaters this Halloween courtesy of Radius-TWC.
