Rue Morgue #219 Jul/Aug 2024

FEATURES

Filmmaker OSGOOD “OZ” PERKINS returns with his fourth horror film, a police procedural steeped in sadism, occult ritual… and Nicolas Cage. Plus! Oz talks about a career making horror movies, and shares thoughts about his father, the late, great ANTHONY PERKINS.

I SPIT ON YOUR CELLULOID, an exhaustively researched new book from Etheria Film Festival co-founder HEIDI HONEYCUTT, proves that horror has always run red with the feminine gaze. Plus! MARY LAMBERT reflects on a career that kicked off with directing Stephen King’s favourite cinematic adaptation of his work.

The long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Luz, Tilman Singer’s CUCKOO is another Euro-steeped experiment in gonzo filmmaking.

From live shows to a new card game to a growing network of podcasts, Mike Muncer proves THE EVOLUTION OF HORROR lives up to its name.
