The Grabber Is Back in Black Phone 2
New Jersey's Original Alt-Weekly reports that The Black Phone 2 has hit theaters and is taking the horror world by storm.
A review from the 2025 NYC Comic Con panel reveals that author Joe Hill penned the short story for "The Black Phone" in 2004 for a small publication and a small fee.
"I got paid like 35 bucks for it, so I was pretty psyched about the film because Jason Blum actually pays a little bit better,"
Hill joked at the BlumFest panel at last week's New York Comic Con, expressing surprise at the success of the 2021 film adaptation.
He noted that the character's popularity has led to appearances in Fortnite and on Fanta cans, joking that it
"probably tastes like a cool, citrusy sip of serial murder."
Hill expressed confidence in the film's directors, Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill, stating that they
"were tackling it, and everything they've done has come from the heart."
Author's summary: The Black Phone 2 brings back The Grabber.
