Welcome to the concluding part of my look back at ‘The Horror Collection’ a short lived magazine published by Eaglemoss during 2007. The first part of this trip down memory lane can be found here and gives an insight into how ‘Partwork’ magazines such as these have been a constant presence in British newsagents for …
Cosplay noun 1.The practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game. If you’re like me and have a bevy of horror loving friends who are either extreme Halloween lovers or convention goers, you’ve no doubt noticed how serious they take cosplay. I’m not talking about girls in ripped up …
One day during 2007 I casually walked into my local branch of WHSmith (a UK based newsagents) and instantly saw something truly wonderful sitting on a top shelf … NO, not porn! … It was a magazine sealed in a plastic bag, and attached to the cover was a small lead figurine of Mr Freddy …
We’ve reached the end of another week – thank god! – which means it’s time to once again take a look at the coolest, weirdest and/or most awesome images that I’ve stumbled across on social media this past week. So let’s get right to it, shall we?! This first one comes from the Tumblr blog …

It’s fair to say that when you grow up obsessing over horror films you’d be at least a little nervous to meet your favorite icons of fright. With so many conventions spreading all across the globe, meeting your favorite celebrity has never been easier. As a person who frequents conventions I’m here to give you …
Ever seen or even heard of ‘Death Machine‘? … Nope, neither had I until about 7 days ago. Now, I’m far from obsessive when it comes to watching movies, I’ve seen many in my lifetime but I also enjoy reading about them.
