World’s Creepiest Coloring Book Returns With THE BEAUTY OF HORROR 2: GHOULIANA’S CREEPATORIUM!

The unsettling clip was filmed in Los Angeles by Director Robert Hall (Teen Wolf TV Series, Laid to Rest, Chromeskull) and Director of Photography Brandon Trost (Halloween II, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Crank: High Voltage). Makeup FX were designed by Hall’s Almost Human FX shop (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Teen Wolf) based on the book’s Ghouliana character. Written and produced by Alan Robert (Crawl to Me, Killogy, Wire Hangers), with producer Nick Principe (American Muscle, Chromeskull). Edited and Visual FX by Josh Petrino (The Devil’s Tree, Hatchet III). Narration by Jane Dashow (Law & Order, Homeland), and Ghouliana performed by Biannca Nodle. Executive Produced by IDW Publishing.

Nerdist hailed Robert’s debut as being “The World’s Creepiest Adult Coloring Book” and it received critical acclaim in The Wall Street Journal, GQ, and BuzzFeed. Ghouliana’s Creepatorium continues the journey of everyone’s favorite undead girl, Ghouliana, as she mischievously attempts to trick budding colorists into unleashing her deadly spell. Ghouliana has secretly sprinkled her haunted ingredients throughout 80 pages of Robert’s original pen and ink illustrations. The Beauty of Horror 2 features a beautifully chilling red-foiled cover and high-quality paper that will ensure the pools of blood you color don’t leak through the pages. Robert and IDW have come together to present a deluxe coloring experience.

“Bringing Ghouliana to life on set was such an incredible experience,” Robert says, “I think it just may be the beginning of seeing her in the flesh!”

“Alan has topped himself again,” says IDW VP of New Product Development, Jerry Bennington. “Not only is the coloring book twice as creepy as its predecessor, but the trailer ups the chill factor to nightmare-inducing levels to satisfy horror fans everywhere.”
