What Could Have Been

SDCC Locke & Key Screening

If you or one of your patrons happens to be going to the San Diego Comic-Con you can pass this along to them.  On July 22nd, Friday of the Con, at 10:30 a.m., in room 8, a screening of the pilot for Locke & Key and then a panel afterwards with author Joe Hill and IDW’s Chris Ryall will be held.  This might be the only chance to see Locke & Key since the Fox network didn’t pick it up as a series and no other networks have looked at it either.
