ENCYCLOPOCALYPSE PUBLICATIONS TO RELEASE THE GRAPHIC NOVEL “WHERE WOLF”: "Encylopocalypse Publication (the independent horror and grindhouse press run by Saturn-Award-winning producer and New York Times bestselling author Mark Alan Miller) is set to release their first graphic novel—WHERE WOLF, a creator-owned graphic novel from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese and Jack Morelli, on Friday, July 7.
The graphic novel will be available in paperback and hardcover formats—with three different covers available for readers to choose from.
This horror-comedy comic book was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on legendary horror brand FANGORIA’s website. The book is set in the wild world of furry conventions, small-town Texas journalism and werewolf whodunits. Leading up to the wide release of the book, writer Rob Saucedo will tour movie theaters across the country—screening werewolf films and providing an opportunity to purchase the graphic novel early at concurrent signing events beginning on March 31.
In advance of the wide release of the book, Saucedo will tour movie theatres nationwide, screening a selection of werewolf films, including SILVER BULLET (via a brand new DCP that will debut as part of this tour), AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON in 4K, THE HOWLING in 4K, WOLF COP and more. Additional locations will be added through the end of 2023.
In WHERE WOLF, something scary stalks the streets of Texas, leaving a trail of corpses in its wake. The only person standing in its path is Larry Chaney, a slacker reporter who can’t hold a job, can’t keep a girlfriend, and can’t stop getting in the way of his own career. Larry must go undercover at a local furry convention if he hopes to stop the beast dead set on turning the gathered attendees into an all-you-can-eat buffet. The graphic novel is a love letter to werewolf fans, with an irreverent bent that takes decades of lycanthropic lore to new heights and surprising places.
“WHERE WOLF is a tribute to some of my favorite things—KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER, Gregory McDonald’s FLETCH novels and the weird idiosyncrasies found in small-town Texas life,” says WHERE WOLF writer Rob Saucedo. “It’s a werewolf story that’s also about people’s capacity to change and become better versions of themselves. I’m very excited to work with the wonderful team at Encyclopocalypse Publications to finally offer a physical copy of the comic in three gorgeously-designed editions.”
“The book had me hooked from page one,” says Encylopocalypse President Mark Alan Miller. “I f*$&ing love werewolf stories, so it was an easy choice for me. Between the book, Rob’s genius, and the nationwide tour WHERE WOLF will be embarking upon, we have something really special on our hands here.”
Confirmed locations for the “Werewolves Across America” tour include:
"Customers can order all three versions of the book directly from BuyHorrorBooks.com or from retailers including Amazon and Barnes & Noble."
"Ahead of its launch as a webcomic, WHERE WOLF was optioned for film, podcast, and television development by producers James Fino (THE FREAK BROTHERS for Tubi, RICK AND MORTY for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (FIRST DATE for Magnolia Pictures, THE WEIRD KIDZ)."

Cinedigm Acquires All North American Rights to Bloody Lithuanian Slasher ‘Pensive’: "Cinedigm has acquired all North American rights to the morbid horror film Pensive out of EFM. The Company plans to release the bloody slasher on its horror streaming platform, SCREAMBOX, which is powered by Bloody Disgusting, later this year as a SCREAMBOX Original.
Inspired by local legends, Pensive follows a group of privileged high school classmates. After these classmates destroy a set of life-size wooden statues during a wild graduation party, a mysterious killer begins picking the group off one by one.
The thriller is produced by Emilija Sluskonyte for Cometos and premiered in the Baltic competition in Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival.
“Gory and glorious, Pensive is a gritty throwback to the ‘80s and the heyday of slasher cinema,” said Brad Miska, Managing Director of Bloody Disgusting. “Calling back to Friday the 13th, the filmmakers took what was great about that era and give it a refreshing lift with the infusion of Eastern European folklore.”
The deal was negotiated by Brandon Hill, Director of Acquisitions, on behalf of Cinedigm and Anna Krupnova, Co-Managing Director of REASON8 Films on behalf of the film.
SCREAMBOX features a broad mix of content for casual and die-hard horror fans alike. The service is refreshed monthly with content from the Company’s extensive genre library with films and episodes delivering every type of terror imaginable -- Supernatural, Slashers, Zombies and more. SCREAMBOX currently features classic horror films like Slumber Party Massacre and the original House on Haunted Hill, the blockbuster indie horror films The Outwaters and Terrifier 2 as well as horror series such as “The Island” and “Master of Horror.” SCREAMBOX recently acquired the docuseries “RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop” and the documentary film Hollywood Dreams and Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story. SCREAMBOX is available to stream on iOS, Android, Prime Video, YouTube TV, Comcast, Cox and screambox.com."
