The Fly is one of the most frightening horror movies to have ever come out. There's body horror, there's psychological terror, it's a grab bag of grotesque. IDW is continuing the story in a five issue comic miniseries with The Fly: Outbreak.
Ghostbusters 3 to Cast Dinklage? Sony Leaked Emails Point to a Possible Yes
David Cronenberg's The Fly came out in 1986 and features Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) as a scientist who thinks he's got teleportation down. He accidently steps into his teleportation pod with a housefly and the two are fused. Over the course of the movie you watch Goldblum turn from 80s heartthrob into a horrific monster. At some point in the film he gets his girlfriend pregnant and it alludes to her having an abortion. The comic assumes that she did not.
Outbreak follows Brundle's mostly human son on his quest to find a cure for his mutated genes. I guess we can assume that there was no maggot birth as seen in the movie's dream sequence. He thinks he's onto something but science is tricky and it turns out to be an infection that causes mutations in others. Oops.

"It was really resonant for its time," said Brandon Seifert, writer for the new series. "And in the last 20 years or so, with all the advances in Genetically Modified Organisms, the film has taken on a lot of meaning it didn't originally have. It's really exciting to explore those elements in this miniseries."
Menton3 will be serving as artist on the book, which is due to hit shelves in March along with two variant covers. Watch the trailer for the movie below.
