Rue Morgue 7th Anniv Halloween Issue!!
Every single month I come on here and proclaim that this months issue of Rue Morgue Magazine was even better than last months- but this will be the last. Why you ask? Well there is absolutely no way in the depths of hell that next months issue can be better than this 7th Anniversary Halloween issue, which is just hitting newsstands! As a thank you to fans, issue #41, which features the “Return of Clive Barker,” runs a whopping 137 pages of full-color mayhem- that’s like a freakin book! Read on to see why you must get your own copy of Rue Morgue latest feat…
It never really clicked until I got this issue why Horror Mag’s have been falling apart the past few years. I always thought that the lame horror movies like ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ and ‘Urban Legends’ were to blame- but no, that’s not it. It’s the internet. Horror Magazines became regurgitated garbage, news and stories that were a month late by the time they hit newsstands. Their fault? No, but someone should have picked up on it. Well someone did, and this months issue of Rue Morgue magazine makes me proud to get it every month!
Instead of spending page after page telling us the synopsis of each film and talking about how they feel the upcoming movie is going to be cool or rejuvenating or fresh, Rue Morgue fills the pages with fantastic interviews that ask very unusual and oddball questions you’d never think to ask. I learned so much about Clive Barker in Jen Vuckovic’s interview with the prince of darkness himself, and I loved their interview Sean Cunningham of the ‘Friday the 13th’ franchise. This months issue is loaded with goodies. Here are my top 5 reasons why you will want to read this issue:
#1 Clive Barker goes into detail about his plans for the future and his dubbed “Films of Blood,” which will be a film library of his “Books of Blood” adaptations on film. ‘Candyman’ is a good start if you ask me!
#2 Jen Vuckovic’s review of Paramount’s ‘Friday the 13th Box Set,’ which is flipping hilarious.
#3 The reviews- oh the reviews! There are pages upon pages of great reviews for everything from ‘The Toolbox Murders’ remake to ‘One Missed Call.’
#4 Their awesome article on Canadian Horror Films, which has a lot of Cronenberg in them obviously.
#5 The article about a guy who started a church for Ed Wood! Supposedly theyve got over 3,000 baptized members; people are strange…
