We reached out to the series’ creator to learn more about their work. The artist shared the inspirations behind their horror comics: “Being a longtime fan of Japanese mystery and horror novels, I’ve always been fascinated by their unique approach to horror.
Unlike conventional horror, Japanese stories often focus on intricate details, which I found compelling. I wanted to incorporate this style into my work, blending it with twist endings reminiscent of mystery tales to deliver unexpected shocks. This concept became the foundation of Silent Horror.”
The DarkBox Comics author also told us: “I’m not a particularly serious person, so I infused the story with humor and quirky details. My goal was to craft something different from mainstream horror—a lighthearted kind of horror.”

When asked how his work has evolved since the beginning of the series, the artist explained: “Initially, Silent Horror was in black and white simply because I wasn’t yet skilled with digital coloring. Later, I experimented with adding color.”
According to the illustrator, DarkBox Comics has always received strong reactions from its audience: “When I first posted Silent Horror on Facebook in December 2014, the response was overwhelming—an unforgettable moment in my life. The instant engagement left me stunned.”

“The following year, the comic was picked up by Tapas, a U.S.-based webcomic platform. Readers there loved it, and viewership skyrocketed. For the first time, I felt the true power of my work—a deeply moving realization.
Even now, although the comic is on hiatus, its views on Tapas continue to climb, surpassing 110 million.
😱 Silent horror isn’t the only thing that’ll make you question what you’re looking at. If DarkBox Comics has you in the right unsettling mood, these real photos with deeply creepy backstories will keep that feeling going – except this time, the horror isn’t fictional.
In 2015, I shared it on China’s Weibo, where it quickly grew a massive following. To date, Silent Horror has over 1.1 million subscribers on Weibo, while its YouTube channel boasts more than 1.95 million.”
“In 2019, the rights to Silent Horror were acquired by Singapore’s Vivid Three, and the comic was serialized on the Comic Vid app before eventually going on hiatus.”

Lastly, the artist shared: “For ten years, Silent Horror was my life – I never stopped creating it. But by 2025, the story finally reached its conclusion.
Now that I’m no longer drawing it, I feel like I’ve lost a close friend—one who’s near yet distant. Still, this decade-long journey has been incredible.”

These are Eerie and Creepy (Warren Publications) rolled into one - except in-color, much more intense, and they get to the point faster. The creator is insanely talented!!!

I can appreciate the illustrations, but am I missing something? The first comic: basically a nurse saw someone scary who left again, but was right behind her? That's it? Orphan felt bad because her adoptive parents were unattractive, but she should be happy because the attractive parents were grandparents?

The attractive adoptive "parents" were vampires who (presumably) k!lled and ate the previous two children they adopted. They weren't "grandparents". I'm not sure where you got "grandparents" from. And as for the first one - that is a child's ghost walking past the living nurse. The child ghost waves and the living nurse freaks out. But in the last panel it turns out that the child ghost was actually waving to a ghost nurse who was standing behind the living nurse!
