Description
Inside Rue Morgue’s Collectible 200th Issue!
FEATURES
Rue Morgue talks to one of Hollywood’s most controversial auteurs, OLIVER STONE, about the oft-overlooked horror films that launched his career. Plus! A look back at Stone’s first feature SEIZURE – an oddball Canadian horror/comedy with stranger than fiction production woes.
Plus! On the event of our 200th issue, Rue Morgue brings together some of our contemporaries in genre journalism past and present – MICK GARRIS, TONY TIMPONE, TIM LUCAS, BRAD MISKA and KAT ELLINGER – to take the pulse. Plus! A glance at the DIY horror fanzines of yesteryear.
With CENSOR, filmmaker Prano Bailey-Bond explores the triggers of trauma against the backdrop of UK’s video nasties era. Plus! The New Nasties.
Back in 1973, surrealist painter OTTO RAPP committed a terrifying vision to canvas that continues to fascinate the genre’s imagination four decades later.
