The Theater

Zenescope Entertainment's The Theater (2011–2012) is a five-issue horror anthology that uses a mysterious, cursed movie house as its framing device, with each issue presenting a different self-contained tale of terror. The series is visually defined by the atmospheric covers and interior work of artists Eric Basaldua, Artgerm, and Nei Ruffino, who bring a polished, modern sensibility to the classic horror-comics format. It stands as a compact but striking example of Zenescope's early-2010s push into standalone horror storytelling, distinct from their more famous fairy-tale titles.
