STARBURST takes a trip down memory lane to revisit the dark time of the VIDEO NASTIES, when horror films were thrown in the dock and cut to ribbons plus the seminal TV show THE OUTER LIMITS comes under our spotlight.

We also preview the upcoming releases THE HAPPYTIME MURDERS and CHRISTOPHER ROBIN, two polar opposite fuzzy pictures, we’re sure you’ll agree!

Elsewhere, Marvel’s BLADE is twenty years old, which is a good enough reason to celebrate the film that arguably started the MCU’s dominance at the cinema. Another birthday is Manchester’s FAB CAFÉ, and the owner (who happens to also be our illustrious Editor) JORDAN ROYCE reveals all about the institution of geek nightlife came about.

If that’s not enough, we have exclusive interviews with poster artist extraordinaire GRAHAM HUMPHREYS, directors JOE LYNCH (MAYHEM) and ABEL FERRARA (THE ADDICTION), the crew behind ANOTHER WOLFCOP, and DAVID GILBANK takes us through his upcoming film POLTERHEIST.

In our regular features, we take a look WAKE IN FEAR, heading to HORROR CHANNEL, and Independents Day talks to AUSTIN SNELL, the director of the EXPOSURE.

Plus all your favourite COLUMNS, NEWS, REVIEWS and much MORE from the worlds of SCI-FI, HORROR and FANTASY!
