Star Wars has always had its share of scares and monsters. There’s the mynock saying hello to Leia in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, the people-chomping rancor in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, and even the amorphous Drengir plant-creatures from Star Wars: The High Republic books

Fun. Creepy. Unexpected. That’s how author Cavan Scott sums up IDW Publishing’s Star Wars Adventures: Ghosts of Vader’s Castle, the latest comic book miniseries to take Star Wars straight to scaresville. Before Ghosts, the IDW comic series Tales From Vader’s Castle, Return to Vader’s Castle, and The Shadow of Vader’s Castle gave us Star Wars frights in years past. This year, Scott teamed up with wildly talented artists including Francesco Francavilla and Derek Charm for five horrifically great tales set in a galaxy far, far away. Scott and Charm recently sat down with StarWars.com to chat about Ghosts of Vader’s Castle as the annual Halloween tradition comes to a close.
