Do you read Sutter Cane?

Then you might want to head to Booth #2020 next week at San Diego Comic Con for a rare prop appearance by In the Mouth of Madness‘ Mrs. Pickman.

Horror Master John Carpenter recently revealed on Twitter that the tentacled entity will take up residence at Storm King Comics’ exhibition booth for the con’s duration.

In the Mouth of Madness starred Sam Neill as John Trent, a freelance insurance investigator tasked with tracking down missing writer Sutter Cane and recovering his manuscript. Trent’s search leads him to Hobb’s End, the fictional town featured in Cane’s novels. That happens to include its otherworldly residents.

One of the more memorable citizens of Hobb’s End was the seemingly benign hotel owner, Mrs. Pickman (Frances Bay). In Cane’s works, Mrs. Pickman revealed a less than human side with a massive murderous streak; the tentacled woman ties up then eventually slaughters her husband. It’s one of the more memorable moments signally that Trent has crossed over into Cane’s world.

Storm King Comics is headed by writer/producer/editor Sandy King, who will be on hand at SDCC for multiple panels, signings, and more:
