The Story!

Hollow Creek is a small rural town where not much happens, but that is about to change, and not for the better. After long forgotten evil is accidentally released from over 300 years of banishment, eleven year old paranormal investigator, Ralph Filmore is every kids’ hero as he goes from middle school classroom by day to paranormal private I by night (until 9 PM that is).

With the help of his friend/ partner in slime; Booker, his trusty robotic supercomputer; Z, and his ghostly canine companion, Specter-- they must race across town to locate the Ancient Necromancer’s Scroll which is rumored to have the power to blacken the skies, crumble mountains, and resurrect the dead.
I’m sure you know this will not be an easy task for this young supernatural sleuth and his friends. One of the worlds’ most powerful magician, Mortimer Bain is back and he wants the scroll. But his powers are weak and so he can’t take physical form. He needs a host. A body. Any body. Without it he can only be seen as mist. He has the ability to assume the identity of anyone he’s in contact with. Mortimer’s powers are limited until he regains custody of the scroll. With it, the dead shall walk the Earth and the living shall walk among them as the living dead. It’s up to Ralph and his friends to wrangle up the sinister magician and his undead minions before midnight on Halloween.

Ralph Filmore Paranormal Investigator is a 3 part comic mini-series perhaps the younger generation can embrace and enjoy, but hopefully the older audience will also see as pretty cool. Ralph combines kids’ favorite elements-- action, monsters, and cool gadgets. I think the attractive look and the fun, adventurous nature of the comic book would lend itself to a video game perfectly. I could easily see an animated cartoon spin-off and collectible action figures with the highly stylized look of the characters.
