Death Ray 7

With Halloween just around the corner, we've somewhat unwisely drawn the curtains, switched the lights off, lit a lone, flickering candle, and scared ourselves witless with an abundance of the creepy, the gory, and the downright terrifying.

Horror Power Books

For starters, our horror power books round-up brings you the eight most chilling books ever to be published, covering everything from vampires and ghosts to religious and Gothic horror.

30 Days of Night

Then there's 30 Days of Night – the comic book with the genius idea of combining vampires with the extreme north of the Arctic circle (and specifically the town of Barrow, Alaska, that doesn't see daylight for over a month) and that is now being turned into a movie. We speak with director, David Slade, and the comic creator, Steve Niles.

Planet Terror

The Grindhouse double bill may have been torn in two, but we reckon Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror more than stands up to the standalone treatment (see the review this issue). We grill Rodriguez, plus his leading man and lady, Freddy Rodriguez and Rose McGowan. 

Deep Thought

And that's not all. Our horror-themed think-piece section brings you everything from what we reckon are the best horror films ever made, to insight into Halloween movies (yes, there's the Halloween series itself, plus there's plenty more besides). And we get a unique insight in what it's like to direct a horror movie – in a country that's better known for all singing, all dancing love stories – with the director of Pakistani gore-fest Hell's Ground.

10 Minute Guide to Vampires

The most iconic of horror's anti-heroes is the vampire. We'll tell you all you could possibly need to know about the pointy-toothed bloodsuckers in less time than it takes you to find the ketchup for your sausage sandwich.
