Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. – The Ghost Ships of Labrador

The two-issue story set in 1990 takes Hellboy and Abe to a small coastal town where a recent infestation of ghosts from the sea has taken over the area and also captured a young B.P.R.D. exorcist sent in earlier to determine the scope of the situation who disappeared within the dense mist. The twist of the story comes in the revelation of why the ghosts invaded the town, not to steal it for themselves but an attempt to hide from an even larger threat pursuing them across the seas.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man

  • Title: Hellboy: The Crooked Man
  • IMDb: link

Loosely based on the three-issue comic of the same name, Hellboy: The Crooked Man was a critical and box office flop attempting to steer into more horror aspects of the Hellboy comics without the humor or charm of the Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman films. The choice allows for the film to go with a lower budget and more of a indie horror movie feel, but ultimately comes off more confused than creepy and more cheap than cost-effective.
