Locke & Key (comics), Keyhouse Keys

replica movie prop

After the tragic violent death of their father, the Locke kids and their mom return to the old family estate in Lovecraft, Massachusetts. Soon the youngest son Bode, while exploring the huge house, finds a strange key that unlocks a door and turns anyone who passes through into a ghost, free to roam the grounds out-of-body and undetected. So begins the excellent comic book series Locke & Key, from artist Gabriel Rodriguez and author Joe Hill (son of Stephen King).
