Girls
and Corpses is one of the most outrageous horror magazines ever seen in print.
It combines an obsession with corpses in all manner of decay with beautiful
girls; every issue is filled with pin-ups of the most unusual form. Articles are always diverse, informative and
amusing with everything from serious pieces to gallows humour and political
incorrect send-ups. There are comics, reviews, news and interviews.
Girls and Corpses
Print Issue #6 Fall
This
issue has a Corpse Pilates cover (and this continues as a feature) and a From
Here to Eternity (Corpse Version) centrefold. The satirical adverts in this
issue are as sharp as usual with full page beauties such as CCC (Corpse Crispy
Chicken), Ass Mint and Deathsavers, Bloodweiser, Frozen pork on a stick and
lots more.
The
interviews are superb including A is for Ackerman which is an extensive
interview with Forest Ackerman on Monsters, Science Fiction and just about
everything in-between, a solid interview with Eric Pigors of Toxic Toons
and a heavy metal interview with Ted von
Heiland. But that is just the beginning, there is an interview with Jade Perez
on New Age Dolls from Hell, a film interview with Blake Reigle (Death Beneath
the Surface), a great interview on Haunted Houses (a real entertainment market
in the US, but not really found in Australia- sadly) and a rather over the top
interview with Lucifer Valentine on what could be best described as vomit porn
! Of course all of these are profusely illustrated.
Articles
include an interesting piece on Mummification, my life as a mortician, classic
TV shows redone as Porn (will Mr.Ed ever be the same again!) and perverse
comics such as Beached Whale and various individual cartoons.
Other
features include the Putrid family with songs and corpse images, Amateur
Corpses of the month and more. This is another action packed issue with lots of
bizarre, informative and of course, dead content ! Not forgetting the ladies of
course....
Girls and Corpses
Print Issue #7 Winter (Latest)
The
latest issue has a great Karate Corpse cover and a six poster pull out.
The
interviews are again superb; it is impressive that the team at Girls and
Corpses can constantly come up with high quality interviews for every issue.
Snapshots from Hell is an interview with photographer Jeffrey Scott who
produces truly disturbing yet beautiful grotesque images while Love thy
Neighbour or take a hit out on them explores the world of the hitman. There is
an interview with the musicians of Creeping Cruds , the beautiful but deadly
Liana Mendoza – Vampire Diva and Australian rockin’ squid Mz.Ann Thropik. As usual Girls and Corpses pack in the
interviews, they continue with an interview with Victoria De Mare (who was
deemed the 2006 Hollywood Scream Queen) , proprietors of the Museum of Death
and Noah Scalin of the Skull A Day Project.
The
humour continues with such send up ads as Snuff Magazine (Pinch and Sniff), She
Wolf hair removal cream and lots more...There is even an education gem on
Posthumous Executions.
The
article “Dead in Bed” – Necrophilia in horror film is superbly researched and
one of the first on the subject while Her Shit does Stink is a truly over the
top piece on supermodels and shit, among other things. Dawna of the Dead
continues the transgressive theme and offers an extensive review of this XXX
sex horror classic.
The
Hot Zombie chicks comic art is really hot and the Karate Corpse feature carries
on the theme from the cover. There are lots of smaller cartoons with a major
comic Sam or I.
Girls
and Corpses continues to produce the goods. It is an amazing magazine which has
more interviews per issue that most publications on the market, it is always
profusely illustrated with corpses and girls (of course) and lots of comics,
cartoons, satirical content and more. I have never been disappointed with an
issue, indeed each one seems to be better than the last !!! This is a truly a
magazine to die for !
