“I have a secret superpower and I didn’t know it was something I could actually do until we made about 1 million horror movie covers for stray dogs; I know how to do the logo part of a tribute image… maybe better than anyone in the game,” Fleecs said. “I’ve been friends with Josh Williamson for years and I think he really liked the horror movie covers of Trish Forstner. and he had done it in our book Stray dogs. He asked me if we could take that kind of thing to dark ride but more or less the other way around: instead of cartoon versions of horror posters, horror versions of cartoon posters. So of course I called up some of my favorite artists. I am very excited to be working on this project and to be able to bring a group of great artist friends with me.”
