"You may ask yourself, maybe there's some serious social comment as an underlying theme? Nope. If you want a message call Western Union." So says Mike Accomando, editor and publisher of Dreadful Pleasures in his editorial for this special double issue of DREADFUL PLEASURES.
After perusing the multitude of fanzines being xeroxed and hand-stapled during the 1990s and thereabouts, it becomes quite clear that many had a particular delight in general social irreverence while exploiting the topic of transgressive film and other unsavory visual media. This US fanzine published in New Jersey is certainly one of them. If B-horror, blaxploitation, grindhouse cinema and other sleazy topics are your meat, then this fanzine is your steak. Grab the butcher knife and dig in.
