C O V E R S T O R Y :

The self-proclaimed Wizard of Odd, Marcus Koch is a rising personality. His directorial debut film ‘Rot’ has reached cult status. Ten years later, he is a vastly sought after FX artist known mostly for his detail to gore and showers of blood. With the future release of his second feature film ‘100 Tears’, Koch is high on the trail of success.career and future.

Guts of the Issue:

A tribute to the one and only Vampira. She was the original horror host and one of the iconic figures of the fifties, yet her TV show lasted but a single season.

The horror genre has lost one of its best friends, Horror host I. Zombi, or for those who knew him personally, Hayden Milligan. A unique person some of you may have met, or just seen at various conventions and trade shows around the country. Join us in a touching tribute from someone very close to him.

In a few short years Christopher Kahler has come from seemingly nowhere to become one of the most sought out members of the independent movie industry. People sometimes ask if he is a writer, director, editor, boom operator, FX guy or what…the answer is a resounding YES. He truly is “The Swiss
Army Knife” of independent movie making.

Go behind the scenes with Eve on Sweatshop. A high action, flash back to the 80’s slasher film from director Stacy Davidson.

Issue #23

Cover Stories

Herschell Gordon Lewis has forever secured his place in the 'Annals of Horror' as the 'Godfather of Gore', and rightfully so. His 1963 release of Blood Feast sent shockwaves through the motion picture industry that are still felt today. That, however, is just one milestone in the life of this amazing man.

David 'The Rock' Nelson. Most of us learned the name from some scalding review in some genre rag. These particular 'critics' all have the same complaints…bad acting, bad effects, weak storyline…camera an angles, sound, lighting, bad-bad-bad. All valid complaints, if you are judging a movie you can rent from Blockbuster Video.

The Serpenteens. A band so damn good, it wouldn't die, even when left to do so. It's the stuff Rock N' Roll Legends are made of.

In our new section 'Texas Home Grown Horror' we will be featuring someone new to our genre from our home state of Texas. This issue we introduce you to FX Artist Tom Martino.
