SFX Magazine's 'Horror' Special Edition (Feb 2010)

If you're a 'gorehound' as editor Ian Berriman describes, this special edition of SFX magazine is for you. It's over 100 pages of pure horror delight. From a look at the upcoming horror films of 2010, to a run-down of the top 20 villains as voted for by SFX readers.

There in an exclusive interview with Robert Englund (the original 'Freddy Krueger' in the 'Nightmare On Elm Street' franchise), and a look back at classic and obscure horror titles.

We particularly recommend the look at the remake of 'Nightmare On Elm Street'; it'll help you join in the debate as to whether the film could possibly be as good as the original, especially after a series of relatively terrible remakes ('Friday 13th' 2009... need I say any more?)

There's a nice bit of nostalgia as Alan Barnes looks back at the 1941 classic 'The Wolf Man', which was just released on DVD (February 9th 2010).

Also recommended is the feature on lost silent horror films; those gems that we will never see again.

So, curl up with a copy of this horror-bible and stick on your copy of 'Nosferatu' (if classic horror is your thing), or perhaps the recently released 'Saw VI' (on DVD from 8th March 2010).

It makes for truly horrific reading ;-)
