Reply to comment by Hot-Share-6198 in Hi, we’re John Lees and Adam Cahoon, writer and artist of The Nasty, a horror comedy releasing on April 5th from Vault Comics, and we’re here to talk about comics, telling stories, the joy of horror, and video nasties. AMA! by vault-comics
From Adam: HAHAH YES! John wrote the list of titles (save for Revenge of the Pacifist and The Hardest Snog…those were me) then I took the list, before he and I ever spoke, and just drew what came to me from the titles. I tried really hard to make them unique to different directors, poster artists and studios.
From John: I wrote a big master-list of dumb made-up movie titles, which Adam them drew as posters. Apart from REVENGE OF THE PACIFIST, that one was all Adam! Monster-Dome Video is one of the central locations of our story, and to make it feel more real and full of personality, we wanted it to be filled with all these cultural artefacts, to really create the sense of a bigger world beyond the story we were telling. And some of the most fun I had in crafting dialogue is having all these horror fans just throwing back and forth all these references to horror movies they avidly love, but which don't actually exist!

From Adam: These posters were the beginning of our relationship, both professional and personal. I could tell immediately from just the titles that John was very much someone I wanted to work with.
