The Dark Side
Issue 153
Ghoulish Publishing
Editor: Allan Bryce

Allan Bryce and the writers on the Dark Side team continue to make my job here very difficult. I mean, a review is supposed to weigh up the good and bad and present it to the readers so that they may form their own opinions of whether something is worth the cover price. However, when it comes to each … Continue reading →

Creepy-Images-Magazine-8

Giving appropriate tribute to a great but not forgotten classic, the new issue of “Creepy Images Magazine” features “that” glaring image of the “girl possessed” from the film “The Evil Dead“. Yep, you guessed it…more exploitation memorabilia to gaze upon from this unique (and compact) little horror mag. Romero’s impact must seem never-ending to fans of this generation. Creepy Images seems to present with each issue another foreign title that stems from this very … Continue reading →

creepy_images_cover_7

Number #7 must be a lucky number, as a brand new “Creepy Images” arrives in its usual and horrifying display of tantalizing retro imagery. This round unleashes a smattering of “Hammer’s The Gorgon” imagery with a German name so long I’m not going to bother trying to copy it correctly. Though with it comes a collection of images under the guises of Columbia-Bavaria which took their advertising camping in different directions than some of … Continue reading →

creepy_images_cover_11th_iss

At long last, another fine issue of “Creepy Images” has emerged from the dark abyss to present its wonderfully color pages with full bloody gory. Speaking of blood, you must know I’m referring to the intro section that feature not 1, but 16 bloody lobby card stills form the film “The Melting Man”. The formal title here is “Der Planet Saturn Lasst Schon Grussen”, but you can see why I prefer the simpler Melting … Continue reading →

Magazine Review: The Dark Side Magazine – Issue 151

DS151

It was always going to be a tough job for The Dark Side to follow up issues like their spectacular Hammer and Amicus specials, but while issue 151 isn’t quite the classic that other recent issues have been, it’s still brilliant. This one is centred on the Scream Queens phenomenon, and thus it’ll be an issue which divides opinion somewhat.

I really enjoyed it, as ever, but there are some glaring omissions … Continue reading →

The series of ‘Special’ issues that The Dark Side is currently going through, with each issue largely dedicated to one major subject, is paying dividends for both the reader and the magazine itself. This latest issue is an AMICUS special, and is every bit as in-depth as the previous specials (and works very well as a follow-up to their … Continue reading →

This latest issue #9 boldly displays its small tribute to exploitation memorabilia. And of course right out of the pen comes our favorite naughty exploitation Nazi character Ilsa. Buyers will want a few of these pages for some bodacious inspiration. Now the one … Continue reading →
