Inside Rue Morgue #220!

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.

Having originally announced a remake of F.W. Murnau’s Expressionist masterpiece back in 2015, visionary filmmaker ROBERT EGGERS reveals how his NOSFERATU took a decade to make, even if it was a century in coming. Plus! WILLEM DAFOE on his return to the dark world of hideous monsters; DACRE STOKER sets the record straight on a historic feud; and a look at NOSFERATU'S SYMPHONIES OF HORROR THROUGH THE AGES.

 

Horror movies are replete with the worst human beings on the planet – a key ingredient to their success. In that spirit, we thought it would be apropos to celebrate the Halloween season by tracking the 50 VILEST VILLAINS OF THE PAST 50 YEARS, who rely less on gimmicks and gloss than sheer depravity.

THE MORBIDLY CURIOUS BOOK CLUB invites readers to come together to learn about death and the more macabre side of life.

In A GOTHIC COOKBOOK, Dr. Alessandra Pino and Ella Buchan explore the relationship between food and the Gothic. Plus! Pino explores what it means to have pizza delivered within a genre movie.

Back in 2023, A.A. Milne’s beloved children’s story, Winnie-the-Pooh, entered the public domain… and the minds of two horror fans who prompted A POOHNIVERSE of horror movies based on children’s characters of yesteryear.
