Features
EXIT THE TALL MAN With its final chapter and the death of Angus Scrimm, one of horror’s most loved franchises bids fond farewell. Fittingly, neither Phantasm: Ravager nor the story behind it is at all conventional. Plus: Angus Scrimm’s co-stars remember the man behind the scowling face of the Phantasm movies, and a look at the restoration of the original Phantasm. By John W. Bowen
CURSE OF CORNWALL Fifty years ago, boundary-pushing companion films The Plague of the Zombies and The Reptile changed the very notion of what it means to be “Hammer horror.” Plus: Gothic scholar and Cornwall resident Ruth Heholt tells us why England’s isolated peninsula simply “lends itself to darkness.” By Jeff Szpirglas
KILL ’EM ALL The Doom reboot summons back the troops for more demon-fragging mayhem. Plus: The Art of Doom reviewed. By Brittany Vincent and Monica S. Kuebler
HOT RODS AND HELLFIRE An EC-style horror comic gets a psycho-surf soundtrack with the Grim County Coroners’ Tales From Grim County. Plus: A review of The Magnificent Seven’s Tall Tales & Scary Stories. By April Snellings and Dave Alexander
