It’s really a pleasure to get one of Rue Morgue editions in your hands, it’s really the same emotion you get when you have a good meal of horror, walking happy to home, after liking a lot what you just have seen on the screen, well maybe in this case read.

This Canadian pearl, published by Rodrigo Gudiño gives you more than the rest. Really good fucking coverage on everything horror: Every Gore, Classics, Asian, Cult, Wrestling, Weird flick that it’s important gets a chance to be on its pages and on it’s on line version www.rue-morgue.com

They even get a lot of good coverage on horror related music, just tune www.ruemorgueradio.com and be prepared to enjoy a bunch of classic soundtrack pieces, and also some good fucking rock and roll. Blood so beautiful, so red and so perfect like the entire edition dedicated to Edgar Allan Poe.

Get shocked and thrilled to now more and more about this field, cause you are going to upgrade your grades if you read this!

Rue Morgue……
It’s alive, it’s alive!

 

 
 

1-Horror is bigger than ever, even though there’s a lot of crap out there, the production is healthy and prolific, for you, which are the main events that helped expand it through the years so much?
The main event is the fan’s ongoing devotion to the horror genre which basically remains unabated through the highs and lows of popular opinion. Of course the commercial successes – like Drag Me to Hell and Paranormal Activity – raise interest in the studios who in turn release stuff like The Wolf Man and that funnels more money back into the machine. But horror fans are always into horror, no matter what. As long as they exist they'll keep supporting the genre they love.

2.-One thing I like about Rue Morgue is that the fields you cover in Horror Entertainment are diverse, for you who are the greatest American horror writers? (Besides H.P. Lovecraft, Poe, and King)
I would also include Ray Bradbury, Richard Matheson, Robert Bloch, Ramsey Campbell and mayble Charles Beaumont from the Twilight Zone.

3. - Who are the sickest: the Germans, the French, the Latins, the Italians, the Americans, or the Asians? … hahahaha I´m talking about the films and its creators.
Right now probably the French are the leaders in grotesque, with films like Martyrs, Inside, Irreversible and Frontier(s). That said, there is a fresh new wave of Serbian horror on the horizon that is taking sickness to a whole new level. Look for a movie called A Serbian Film and you’ll see what I am talking about. I think overall what's happening in Europe is far more extreme in terms of gore than the films coming out of North America or even the far east.


4.-For a Dj who wants to be introduced to horror soundtracks and creepy music his-her first step should be…? (Sites-artist-genres-record labels)
Tune in to Rue Morgue Radio. Regularly.


5. - Rodrigo, tell us everything about your film The Eyes of Edward James…
The Eyes of Edward James is my first film; I had never done a student film or even a home movie before it. It takes place inside a person’s mind and we basically relive everything that happened to him on the night that his wife was murdered. Of course there are a few twists. I’ve done two other films since that one: The Demonology of Desire and The Facts In the Case of Mister Hollow but The Eyes of Edward James seems to have garnered a bit of a following and is regularly shown on Canadian television.

 

 

6. - I believe that a lot of folks want to see blood, but never real blood. Does fictional horror is still strong after all the crazy shit we can download out there?
Yeah you’re right and I would count myself as one of those people. Even though I can stand all kinds of blood and guts I really don’t like when it’s for real: one is about art and technique, the other is about someone’s personal misfortune. Horror films operate in a narrative which means that the blood and guts is always in context of a story so really factual and fictional horrors are entirely separate.


7. - Any interest in serial killers, cryptozoology, UFOs, Fairies etc…?
(Maybe I´m too much into the X-files ….so so 90´s hahahaha)

Absolutely...! The paranormal is an aspect of genre entertainment that is always sorely overlooked and I am very proud to say that we have covered it (and will continue to cover it) in the pages of Rue Morgue. Those kinds of stories are like modern mythologies, which makes them potentially very powerful in the right hands. Besides there is only one thing more frightening than the truth... and that's the possibility of truth.


8. - If you only could take five movies to zombie island they would be?
The Devils by Ken Russell,
El Espinazo del Diablo by Benicio del Toro, The Exorcist III by William Peter Blatty, Alucarda by Juan Lopez Moctezuma, Halloween ('77) by John Carpenter

9. - Who is the best- worst American director?
Despite Uwe Boll’s repeated attempts to wrestle the crown from him, I have to admit that Ed Wood still holds the title.


10. - One creepy experience that happened to someone of you,
and I mean in real life?

Late one night I was woken up by a noise. Upon investigation I saw a slightly older version of myself sitting in my office. True story.
