DELIRIUM #33: Do ya feel lucky, punk? Well…do ya!?
Do ya feel lucky, punk? Well…do ya!? Then pick up DELIRIUM #33 and check out our massive interview with actor Andrew Robinson! Robinson is the veteran actor who is beloved (and reviled) as playing the Cotton brothers in Clive Barker’s HELLRAISER, as well as hundreds of other credits on screens both big and small. But Robinson will forever – and rightly – be associated with his first film, Don Siegel’s 1971 thriller DIRTY HARRY, starring the great Clint Eastwood! In this brand new chat, Robinson fully dissects “Scorpio”, his malevolent serial killer alter-ego, and muses on why the character and the film has endured. We’ll also go deep-diving on all of his storied roles in stuff like COBRA, LIBERACE, STAR TREK and, of course, HELLRAISER! Plus, we’ve got features on the new creeper TRAP, actress Isabella Percival, a tribute to actor Clu Gulager and much more!

DELIRIUM #30 with master of horror Tobe Hooper!
DELIRIUM dials back the clock to chronicle the making of one the SCARIEST vampire entertainments ever made: 1979’s chilling Stephen King adaptation SALEM’S LOT!
Editor Chris Alexander unearths an EXCLUSIVE and unpublished interview with SALEM’S LOT’s iconic, now deceased, director Tobe Hooper, who speaks about getting hired to helm the TV miniseries and tells tales about his working relationship with the head vampire, Mr. Barlow, played by Reggie Nalder.

Elsewhere, Lee Gambin reflects on the trashy AIP classic THE BAT PEOPLE, burgeoning multi-hyphenate creator Meosha Bean talks about her road to success, the stunning Oksana Orlan dissects her role in the malevolent Gothic shocker THE RUSSIAN BRIDE, Dennis Daniel goes deep into the “Nunsploitation” subgenre, Jason Bene gets into Culture Shock and SO much more.

The cover of DELIRIUM #29 featuring Axelle Carolyn
I’ve been a fan of Axelle Carolyn since her first short film THE LAST POST, through her feature debut SOULMATE and onward. And when I saw her episode of THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR – one of the most moving and unsettling 60 minutes of Gothic horror poetry I’ve ever seen – I became aware of a burgeoning auteur. And so, we close out the year with a huge, career-to-date interview with the writer/director about her growing body of work and her singular creative point of view. A true dissection of an artist whose evolution is exciting to witness. Cover art by the brilliant (to put it mildly) Suspirialand – the concept was to take Axelle and some of her imagery and “Ingrid Pitt” her. And Suspirialand delivered, hard. Really excited about this unique issue.
DELIRIUM #29 will be on sale at the end of December at www.FullMoonDirect.com
Issue #28 shines the spotlight on John Carpenter’s Ghosts of Mars
‘Tis the season where everyone’s bugging John Carpenter to talk about HALLOWEEN.
Not us.
We harassed John long and hard enough and he eventually caved.
In this upcoming issue of our DELIRIUM magazine, you’ll find Carpenter talking about the making of his insane and underrated 2001 masterpiece GHOSTS OF MARS.
And we’re super excited to be celebrating it with the man who made it for this awesome upcoming October issue. And dig that crazy wicked exclusive cover painting by visionary artist Matthew Therrien!

Exclusive: Girlfriend from Hell to debut on Blu-ray from Culture Shock Releasing
GIRLFRIEND FROM HELL is a 1989 horror comedy from director Daniel Peterson that stars genre favorites James Karen (RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD) and Lezlie Deane (FREDDY’S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE).
The upstart boutique label is putting the finishing touches on the disc release for the cult favorite that has not been readily available to own since the heyday of VHS.
The plot crunch follows Maggie (Liane Curtis), a shy high school girl that isn’t very good with men. This changes after she’s possessed by Satan, who uses Maggie’s body to seduce the souls out of various men. Satan is followed by an angelic Chaser (Dana Ashbrook), who is intent on capturing her once and for all.
Culture Shock Releasing is the union of Lo-Fi Video and Verboden Video, notes co-owner Daniel Del Pozzo.
After the success of our joint release of SLASHDANCE, we decided to merge our love of obscure cult films into one brand. Under this new name we are dedicated to bringing you the best in cult, horror, and beyond!
We will be preserving movies shot on video as well as film, and releasing them on DVD and Blu-ray, respectively. There will be a heavy focus on films from the 80’s and 90’s, mixed with some outstanding contemporary genre films.
We are running headlong into the future, uncovering lost gems and polishing up the classics to share with you!

DELIRIUM bites back with our bloodthirsty 27th issue!
For this round, we’re dialing back the counterculture clock to take a long, loving look at 1972’s groundbreaking horror film BLACULA, a movie that found fame due its dime-store joke title, but was in truth both a sophisticated tragedy and razor sharp socially aware fantasy. We’ve locked down director William Crain – the man who birthed this delirious American International Pictures classic – to discuss his own wild ride behind the camera, the making of this brilliant and often misunderstood movie and the many ways in which he (along with star William Marshall) managed to rewrite the script they were given (originally called COUNT BROWN’S IN TOWN) to weave in potent commentary while also having a blast making a genuinely scary and often very funny horror thriller. You do NOT want to miss this exclusive, in-depth interview!
Also in the issue, we’ll look at the lesser but still important sequel SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM, continue on the so-called “Blaxploitation” thread to discuss the little-seen William Marshall Exorcist clone ABBY, have words with ROBOCOP and PIRANHA producer and film print collector/enthusiast Jon Davison, talk with DEATH LINE and DEAD AND BURIED auteur Gary Sherman, explore the restoration of the ALIEN meets FRANKENSTEIN shocker THE KINDRED and so much more. All this plus a DYNAMITE cover by artist/designer Ryan Brookhart make DELIRIUM #27 a must-own. Keep your eyes peeled for an on-sale date coming late June and subscribe to DELIRIUM by visiting www.DeliriumMagazine.com!
