Diabolique 18 holds a magnifying glass to horror’s unparalleled ability to provide a window into the social ills of the times it reflects. Amidst a political climate marked by division and pre and post-2012 fears about the apocalypse hanging in the air, the amount of underground and mainstream filmic and literary offerings about end times currently being released is resonating with audiences like never before. Inside the issue’s pages, we wrestle with these themes as they’re depicted by everything from The Omega Man to 28 Days Later to The World’s End and everything in between, featuring interviews with acclaimed author David Moody; comic book artist/illustrator Arthur “Zombie King” Suydam (Army of Darkness, Marvel Zombies, The Walking Dead); Chew co-creator/illustrator Rob Guillory; criminally charged FX artist Remy Couture; and Before Dawn co-writer/co-stars Dominic Brunt and Joanne Mitchell, along with a  consideration of the writings of the late, great Richard Matheson. It’s the end of the world as we know it!

There is nothing perhaps more enchanting than a good old folk, or fairy tale. Add in a little witchcraft and you have the recipe for something truly magickal. Join us as we dedicate the entirety of issue 27 of Diabolique Magazine to these three subjects. Helping us to celebrate Suspiria in its 40th year is author Alexandra Heller-Nichols, who unlocks some of the secrets behind the scenes and delves into the history and influence surrounding Dario Argento’s cult classic.

Meanwhile, the theme of witchcraft continues, as Britsploitation master Norman J Warren talks to us about his own occult inspired works, and we examine his films as contributions to the British Folk Horror cannon. Not content with leaving it there we also take a long look at the “occult giallo” in a feature focusing on witchcraft-infused cult horror films from Italy. We tackle the connection of witchcraft and feminism from the seventies to the nineties, looking at George A Romero’s Season of the Witch, The Witches of Eastwick and The Craft. And…still not content to leave it there… we also unravel the history of the witch trials seen in Ken Russell’s The Devils.

And there’s more…we have not one, but two articles dedicated to Eastern European folk and fairy tales and their cinematic counterparts; Czechoslovakia is represented by Little Otik, Russia by Viy. We also re-examine The Company of Wolves, in the context of folk horror, before continuing on the theme of mixing Gothic with folk horror in an interview with the partnership behind Hex Media (Lord of Tears, The Unkindness of Ravens) Sarah Daly (writer) and Lawrie Brewster (director). We also manage to pack in a deep look at Candyman, and examine the themes of race and urban legend within.

The icing on the cake however is the news that writer, editor, film historian and Video Watchdog legend, Tim Lucas, joins us in this issue for the very first installment of his new regular column.

Diabolique Magazine is back in print with an entire issue dedicated to celebrating Japanese and Korean cult cinema at its most sublime, otherworldly, erotic and visceral. In our cover story we explore the darker elements of Japanese folklore; tracking the evolution of the ghost story from genre defining classics Onibaba, Kwaidan, and Kuroneko, right through to the J-horror boom of the nineties in Ringu and Ju-On: The Grudge; before joining J-horror pioneer Hideo Nakata to discuss his career in genre film. This is followed with features on the blood soaked tradition of Japanese theater in relation to the work of Akira Kurosawa and Jacobean revenge, the shocking horrors of Korean war portrayed in genre film and a tribute to the work of the late great David Bowie. Add to that some sizzling sensuality and lesbian love, as we unwrap Chan-wook Park’s provocative The Handmaiden, and last, but certainly not least, a homage to the mythical beast Godzilla, and we promise you this is one of our boldest and most potent issues yet!

In case you’ve forgotten, Diabolique means “of the Devil.” So what better way to usher in our 24th issue than with the Devil’s horns being flashed by our cover boy, the enigmatic genius Alejandro Jodorowsky? Inside, our Editor-in-Chief, Rondo-Award winner Max Weinstein, sits down for an exclusive chat with none other than ‘Jodo’ himself to pick the brain of this man, myth, and legend. Then, consider our Jodo coverage a gateway drug to our historical accounts on both the life and Satanic work of Mexican surrealist filmmaker, Juan López Moctezuma, and the influence of The Occult in horror culture and society at large. And, in keeping with the chaos of our modern times, our Managing Editor, Joe Yanick, and Web Editor, Jake Whritner, each deliver fun and thought-provoking coverage of writer-director David Robert Mitchell’s It Follows (featuring an interview with Mitchell) and the explosive trend of Internet Horror.

This spring, Diabolique is both your fever and your cure! Our 23rd issue lays Medical Horror on the operating table for dissection and holds out its vital organs for all to see. Inside, we break down the themes and screams of Eyes Without A Face and The Skin I Live In, and share our exclusive interviews with “Twisted Twins” Jen and Sylvia Soska and exploitation legend Jack Hill, in which they examine their bodies of work. Rondo Award-nominee and Editor-in-Chief, Max Weinstein, and our new Web Editor, Jake Whritner, each give unique treatments to H.P. Lovecraft’s “Herbert West-Reanimator,” and its cinematic adaptation, Re-Animator. And while the doctors are in(sane) in our takes on The Human Centipede trilogy and The Abominable Dr. Phibes, our two new columns, Fright From the Fringe and Blu Magick, deliver the cinephilic prescription you’ve long been searching for.

Diabolique 23 will see you now, and it’s sick in the head!

Our bi-monthly genre journalism tome is getting the bi-polar treatment! In Diabolique’s 22nd issue, we split our coverage between the influence of J. Sheridan Le Fanu and Countess Elizabeth Báthory and the theme of pregnancy in classic and contemporary horror cinema. Alongside 2014 Writer of the Year Rondo-winner Bruce G. Hallenbeck’s celebration of Le Fanu’s bicentennial, which looks inside his life, legacy, and his Gothic vampire opus, Carmilla, Editor-in-Chief Max Weinstein delivers an incisive commentary on Báthory’s prolific and legendary serial murders 400 years after her death.

On the flip-side, our pregnancy coverage turns to fresh perspectives on Alain Robak’s Baby Blood, David Cronenberg’s The Brood, Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury’s Inside (À l’intérieur) and Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession. And don’t miss our exclusive interviews with Baby Blood co-writer-director Robak, Proxy director Zack Parker, and DC Comics writer Kyle Higgins (Nightwing, C.O.W.L.)! Expect the unexpected when you’re expecting Diabolique…

Home Invasion Cinema: in which families, who either cause or defeat terror in our pages in Diabolique 20, instead succumb to it. Diabolique 21 runs the gamut from important current and vintage titles of Home Invasion Horror, including a heady throwback to Terence Young’s Wait Until Dark; side-by-side pieces on both versions of Funny Games and Straw Dogs; and a look at Drafthouse Films’ Palme d’Or-nominated Borgman. All this plus in-depth coverage of The Sacrament and the Visual FX of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, alongside exclusive interviews with filmmakers Ti West, Rod Lurie, and Alex Van Warmerdam, round out our dynamic latest edition. Lock your windows, close your doors!

“The Family”: What is it? How does it shape us? Strengthen us in the face of horror? Scar us? Destroy us? The mysteries and dysfunction of the family unit have been ripe for examination in countless contemporary and classic horror releases. Diabolique 20 takes a look underneath its surface, featuring exclusive interviews with acclaimed filmmakers Adrian Garcia Bogliano (Here Comes the Devil), Mike Flanagan (Oculus), Jim Mickle (We Are What We Are), and Navot Papushado (Big Bad Wolves), as well as a heady exploration of familial themes in the films of Tobe Hooper by 2014 Rondo Award-nominee, James Gracey. All this and more round out this fresh look at a crucial trope of horror culture. Diabolique 20: it’s a family reunion, and you’re invited!

What with the waning output of many of the genre’s most prolific filmmakers, horror has faced something of an identity crisis. While some legends behind the camera have either passed away or struggled to adapt their authorial styles to the changes of the current moment, others have simply opted to break free from the conventions of the macabre completely, trading in their body of work’s horror-specific elements for ambitions of the genre-bending sort. This dramatic shift begs the question: Which bold artistic voices are next to take the reins? Diabolique 19 seeks to answer this very question, with interviews with everyone from modern auteurs like Vincenzo Natali; to seasoned greats working to maintain relevancy like Dario Argento, and many, many more. You’ll soon find there is life after the “Masters of Horror.”

In the same way the intersection between horror and rock n’roll explored in our 15th issue is much like a Reese’s peanut butter cup, so are horror and comedy – two great tastes that go great together. In that spirit, Diabolique # 17 tickles your funny bone and cracks it too, exploring all that’s irreverent, wonky and weird from the horror community’s most alternately playful and sadistic minds. We’ll walk you through horror-comedy hybrids new and old, featuring exclusive interviews with Ben Wheatley, Adam Wingard, Joe Dante and more, while delving into the inner workings of extreme and erotic cinema with a tribute to the late, great exploitation helmer Jess Franco. Diabolique 17: you’re all gonna die laughing!

There are few actors in the horrific halls of fame who deserve the dedication of an entire issue of Diabolique. Peter Cushing appeared in dozens of classic horror films and is known for no less than three character roles: Van Helsing, Dr. Frankenstein, and Sherlock Holmes, each of which he portrayed through an entire series of films. In this issue, we celebrate what would have been his one hundredth birthday by presenting an overview of Cushing’s career, memoirs of people who knew him, highlights of some of his finest moments and coverage of Cushing’s own memoirs. Additionally, we speak with Neil Jordan about his newest vampire film, Byzantium; and we talk with Nigel Wingrove about the censorship battle he fought for his “dangerous” work.

Our Rock and Horror issue of Diabolique takes you on a journey through the spectacle and madness of music-related horror entertainment. From the first time a musician put on a scary costume to perform on stage to the destructive and violent backlash from “Polite Society,” we reveal the scathing facts about your favorite rockers. Including exclusive interviews with Rob Zombie, Kirk Hammett, and with a special focus on Skinny Puppy’s Kevin “Ogre” Ogilvie, Diabolique’s latest and greatest issue provides you with as much spine-rattling entertainment as you can take! Also featured in this issue are a rare exclusive interview with famous Korean genre filmmaker Chan-wook Park (Stoker, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance), a review of the new screenwriting book by Dan O’Bannon (Alien, Return of the Living Dead), the ethereal and frightening images of artist Jim Cummins (aka “I, Braineater”), and much much more!

Diabolique rings in the new year with another collection of horrifying goodies. Ghosts and haunted happenings abound in this issue as we provide a first-hand look into the making of the Guillermo del Toro and Andy & Barbara Muschietti production: Mama. Rediscover Henry James’s classic horror novella The Turn of the Screw and the various subsequent incarnations of the story—featuring Jack Clayton’s classic horror film The Innocents. Next, we examine the history of haunted house films. Then we find out why the people who fill our souls with the most love can also be the most dangerous. Additionally, we talk with film and television star Ian Ogilvy about his popular series of scary children’s books. We also chat with the Soska Twins about their new film, American Mary, and much more!
