Locke & Key, directed by Mark Romanek and starring Miranda Otto and Nick Stahl, was one of the highest-profile pilots this past season. You can thank IDW Publishing…

It shouldn’t come as any surprise that Fox passed on this series… that network hasn’t listened to fan for years.  This kind of news makes it easier and easier for…
