Rue Morgue #221 Nov/Dec Xmas 2024

FEATURES

Four decades after the release of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, the man behind the maniac, ROBERT ENGLUND, shares thoughts on the character that made him famous, the evolution of Freddy, his favourite unmade Elm Street sequel, and returning to the role one final time. Plus! The beloved first lady of Elm Street, HEATHER LANGENKAMP reflects on a lifetime of battling Freddy Krueger.

Even in a genre that prides itself in breaking taboos, SEX WITH MONSTERS is still relatively unexplored. Researcher ELLA GALLEGO hopes to change that with her new eye-opening study on erotic horror. Plus! Gallego’s MOST MONSTROUS SEX SCENES!

MAGIC: THE GATHERING has been delighting players and collectors with an ever-growing gallery of terrifying ghouls and goblins for over three decades. Now, Rue Morgue looks at the tabletop RPG’s horror hall of fame.

Barely out of her teens, the Australian filmmaker behind So Vam and T Blockers returns to wreck the halls with CARNAGE FOR CHRISTMAS.
