Tired of wearing those T-shirts with boring movie-poster prints that every other horror fan owns? Are you feeling a bit undead and need some new, original horror clothing to make you feel more alive? Then look no further than Headstone City.

Have you ever wanted to dress glamorously, yet with a mix of Goth and horror? Then Torture Couture is the line for you. It was created by Graciela Martell as a class project at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in LA; her partner Jacob came up with the moniker, and the rest is history.

Each year, a horror film fresh off a festival run marked of praise and hype threatens to shake the genre community to its very core, via either shocking imagery, savage brutality or sheer originality. Last spring, Pascal Laugier’s meditation on torture in the name of spiritual enlightenment, MARTYRS, was preceded by an onslaught of buzz proclaiming, “You won’t believe what you’re about to see.” Around the time that film finally saw Stateside DVD release, the next in line in extreme cinema began screening worldwide. Now, Tom Six’s THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FIRST SEQUENCE) is about to hit U.S. shores and must contend with a nation of non-festivalgoers who are begging for it to live up to its reputation.

Tattoos are a form of expression that express individuality, but also demonstrate their wearers’ predilections and tastes, allowing them to bond in much the way horror enthusiasts do. “Seeing what can be done with tattoos these days, thanks to them being accepted into the mainstream, people are getting more creative with their desired pieces,” skin artist John Devilman says.

Maine is not just Stephen King territory—not anymore. Call it “Kenyonland.” Nate Kenyon, that is, the author of the novels BLOODSTONE, THE REACH, PRIME and THE BONE FACTORY. Although he has the same Maine roots, he’s not as popular as “the King of horror”—but give him time.

With Platinum Dunes’ remake of Wes Craven’s seminal somnambulist shocker A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET ready to be unleashed, Freddy Fever is at its peak once again. So the time is perfect for NEVER SLEEP AGAIN: THE ELM STREET LEGACY, a lengthy study of the original ELM STREET films from the people who brought you the definitive FRIDAY THE 13TH documentary, HIS NAME WAS JASON.

When it comes to reviews, most books can at least drag a “pretty good” or “not bad” from the mouths of critics. But when the words “masterpiece” and “unforgettable” are thrown around, one can’t help but wonder what all the fuss is about. NEVERLAND, the new novel by author Douglas Clegg (ISIS, AFTERLIFE, THE PRIEST OF BLOOD, etc.) from Vanguard Press, has been lauded by Publisher’s Weekly as a “haunting story redolent with the influence of Arthur Machen, H.P. Lovecraft, and other classic horror writers.” If you’re craving a southern Gothic horror tale that isn’t about Rednecks in overalls “not taking kindly” to some city folk, that slowly builds dread as opposed to cheap, gory descriptions, NEVERLAND may be for you.
