Recently, House of Secrets was given a shout-out by the one and only Frank Darabont, director of the upcoming The Walking Dead series premiering this October on AMC.
“Look, I’ve always loved this stuff. I’m a horror guy from when I saw Dracula and Wolfman on TV when I was five. It’s a genetic predisposition. You guys know what I’m talking about. So when I walked into my comic book shop in Burbank – Christ, I’m blanking on the name. House of Secrets, shout out to them. I walked in and I saw this first trade edition of Walking Dead, and of course I grabbed it. It’s the first thing I took home that day! I immediately started reading it that night and I thought to myself, “Okay, this is the zombie sandbox I’ve always wanted to play in. I get it. I get what Kirkman’s doing here. I’d love to follow in his tracks and get this going as a television show.”
Alright, so maybe the insanity that is ComicCon made him momentarily blank on our name, but we’re still thrilled that Mr. Darabont took the time to send a little love our way! Thanks, Frank, we hope you can feel the love we’re sending into the cosmos for you!
Be sure to set your TiVo, DVR, VCR, or Time Machine to record The Walking Dead which premiers on Halloween night at 10pm. How apropos.
