Writer/director/musician Rob Zombie (HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES) and comic book writer Steve Niles (30 DAYS OF NIGHT) have joined forces to create Creep Entertainment International, a production company that specializes in horror entertainment. The company will create properties for comics, music and movies. To kick things off Creep Entertainment has three new comic book projects: THE NAIL, a story about evil bikers and wrestlers to be published by Dark Horse Comics; BIGFOOT (is an explanation necessary?) with IDW Comics; and LORDS OF SALEM, a music and comic book project about a satanic rock band. Each of the three comic book titles will be co-written by Zombie and Niles.

Each of the three titles are expected to be optioned for movies at some point. Zombie told Variety that Creep Entertainment is treating the comics as if they were storyboards to the movie.

Artists and release dates haven't been assigned to the comic books yet.
