#201 Jul/Aug 2021 - RARE

FEATURES When a Canadian animator went to live in Taiwan, he ended up making THE SADNESS, one of the most intensely violent zombie movies to ever come out of the far east. Director ROB JABBAZ recounts the story of his instant cult classic. It’s been four years since we lost a titan of the horror genre, but 2021 promises to be the year when, like the zombies of his many films, GEORGE ROMERO comes back. Plus! One of Romero’s most notorious unmade projects, TWILIGHT OF THE DEAD, gets a kickstart towards getting made. The long-awaited release of Nia DaCosta’s CANDYMAN this summer is the latest in a series of horror movies to bring back an ancient storytelling technique... SHADOW PUPPETRY. The new book UNTOLD HORROR from former RM EIC DAVE ALEXANDER tracks down the genre’s heavyweights to uncover the greatest horror movies never made.
