Horror

Presented by

Rue Morgue

Toronto-based Rue Morgue is the leading publication for Horror in Culture and Entertainment. Fiercely independent since its humble beginnings in 1997, RM has built a reputation for its insightful, outspoken exploration of the genre, and its top-notch design and original illustrations. From features on the latest fright films to retrospectives on classic literature, reviews of upcoming video games to profiles on emerging artists, we blow the cobwebs out of every corner of the horror world and offer an informative and beautifully-rendered way to connect with the dark side in all of us. And yes, we love monsters too!

Alkaline Trio

Since being formed in 1996 in McHenry County, Illinois, a suburb northwest of Chicago, Alkaline Trio has built a loyal following. The band has sold more than a million records, not by garnering a lot of radio airplay, but by forging an intense relationship with their fan base through relentless touring and, of course, a connection to their music. The songs on Agony and Irony trace a journey towards salvation. The concept was sparked by the likes of Dante’s Inferno and Joy Division’s Ian Curtis and rocks like only Alkaline Trio can, with 10 punk anthems that take us on a spiritual trip to hell and back.
