FRENCH HORROR FANZINES


We Yanks aren't the only ones that produce monster fan 'zines. The French have their fair share with a number of active titles that show their love for the genre. The "summary" of contents for MEDUSA fanzine below may seem a little weird because I used Google Translator on the page.

You can learn all about these 'zines and other French film fare at the LE ZOMBLARD FROM OUTER SPACE blog.


SUMMARY:
Editorial, inevitably a fanzine without its editorial, it would be a little like the yin without the yang.

The BIS BAZAR, the gazette of the zine in the form of storeroom where accumulate the happy memories, the edifying photos, the short notes of reading ...

BOOKSHOP, cross-talk with Dave JAY, William S. WILSON & Torsten DEWI about their book on Full Moon and, ultimately, about our favorite Charles! And a chronicle of Farrel by Christophe BIER and Dominique FORMA SETTE NOTTE IN NERO: interviews with Frank STROBEL & Carl DAVIS about their cine-concert.
