Issue 51 (October 2023)

Necronomicon - the UK's longest running horror fanzine - number 51, October 2023 issue.

Special HALLOWEEN issue reviewing all 13 films of the franchise!

As usual, don't expect the writing style of your average respectable film critic: if you like the idea of sneaking a read of your dry and sarcastic bitchy friend's journal who has a love of campy and gory 80s films, then this is the zine for you.

Which Halloween film did I first hear about via a song? What did I get up to when I babysat as a teenager? What type of dance moves do I do to the Halloween theme? Which scene in the franchise baffled me the most? Which character is boyfriend material? And how come there are four pages dedicated to Rob Zombie's remakes but you don't know what my thoughts are about it?

26 printed A5 pages in black and white, absolutely crammed with reviews told in a laid back, personal, and humorous style, with plenty of nostalgia and anecdotes; all backed on old school zine collaging. Every background image and text collage for this special issue has been made to match the subject matter. I am very proud of the details in this issue!

Issues 35-50 are also available.
