The Professor Dario Bava “OCCULT ACTIVITY BOOK (AND SPIRIT BOARD!)” Promises A Spooky Coloring Adventure

From the production company Diabolik Films and the mind of Phil Mucci comes the new OCCULT ACTIVITY BOOK based on the characters from his graphic novel, Murder Vibes from the Monster Dimension, staring the ‘paranormal playboy’ Professor Dario Bava. This coloring adventure (and spirit board!) promises hours of fun exploring the universe of Professor Dario Bava as he defeats a variety of classic monsters in his groovy 70s style.

To support the creation of the OCCULT ACTIVITY BOOK, subscribe to the coloring book’s upcoming Indiegogo page (link below), where interested parties will be able to support the graphic novel artists and receive a 15% discount at the book’s completion. According to the Indigogo campaign’s announcement, the ‘Double or Nothing’ stretch goal intends for the artists to receive double their fees, while future colorers will receive double the activities books, since they will need “ to sacrifice one to activate the official PDB Spirit Board!”

While the spirits may not be included with your purchase, the OCCULT ACTIVITY BOOK will certainly be a satisfyingly spooky way to spend your free time in the uncertain times to come. See the trailer below for examples of the far-out line art you will be able to color-in upon the book’s completion! By subscribing to the Indigogo campaign, you will receive updates on the OCCULT ACTIVITY BOOK’s progress and can snag your own copy when it’s finished.
