The Monster at the Back of This Barn
A new reprint of something we seem to have missed the first time around: A coloring book adventure comic called The Unlikley Trio — Last Barn On The Left. Here’s what we found in Previews: “Lil’Bit the mouse, Mrs. Butters the cat, and Abby the Collie dog join together to confront a scary monster that lives in the barn of their small town. Can the three friends overcome their fears and get through this adventure? Kids can be the colorist in this black and white adventure that features fun activities in the back of the book. Alterna will be donating all proceeds to the ASPCA foundation to help protect animals in need!” It’s written and illustrated by Scott West, with writing help from Callie West. On-line there’s all kinds of contradictory information about when this was published, but hopefully Alterna Comics should have it back in stores soon.

Wow, but I do not think Wes Craven's The Last House on the Left is the right horror movie to reference here.
If not here, where else?
Well, there's not a lot of great places to reference one of the progenitors of the so-called "rape and revenge" horror subgenre, but a kid's coloring book seems to be pretty near the bottom of the list.
This seems more like a pastiche combination of the comic books "Beasts of Burden" and "We 3".
