ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
This week on The Short Box, we’re bringing you an exclusive SDCC 2026 interview with Patrick Horvath, the mastermind behind IDW’s breakout horror hit Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees and its sequel Rite of Spring!
Patrick unpacks the delicate balance between 1980s/90s small-town nostalgia and visceral, upsetting horror. We also talk about the character dynamics, the strong fan reception to Samantha Strong, how graphic design and lettering elevate the storytelling, why horror fans and non-horror readers alike are falling in love with this series, and what the future holds for the residents of Woodbrook in the upcoming Halloween Special!

TRANSKRIPT 🔗
00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:07.919
In this episode of the short box, it's horror, but it's like it's also somehow palatable in a weird way.
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:18.800
Um, and I think that that juxtaposition with the animals, there's some magic in that recipe that allows people to sort of identify cross-culturally, like they're able to identify with these things.
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:21.519
Like it's done, it's doing fairly well, like around the world as well.
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:28.719…
