  • Local Spooky: Full Bleeeeeeeeed

    AHHH! WHAT’S THAT BEHIND YOU???

    Oh! It’s the spooky season!!

    Fall is here and there’s already a little chill in the air… With October (the best month of the year by a gapingly enormous margin) just around the corner, many of us are looking very much forward to all the fun, fun activities of the spooky season: coming up with Halloween costumes; eating supernatural amounts of candy; carving 80 to 90 pumpkins into exact replicas of Moo Deng the sassy baby hippo; and, of course, watching as many horror movies as humanly possible! 

    Whether you’re a seasoned horror flick connoisseur, a sweet lil’ chicken whose terror tolerance is maxed out by It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, or somewhere in between, October is a great time to watch some scary (and not-so-scary) movies. If you agree, I’d like to point your attention to a new zine that you won’t want to sleep on: 

    An orange zine titled "Full Bleed" is displayed on a shelf, among other spooky zines and decorations, including a white, plastic skull and crossbones and a skeleton sticker pack.

    The premier issue of Full Bleed: Chicago’s #1 Horror & Exploitation Zine is currently on the shelves at Quimby’s, so get it while we got it! This wicked zine is jam packed with horror movie reviews, an interview with local comic artist Tyrell Cannon, a Chicago horror directory, a frighteningly hilarious comic, and more. 

    Don’t miss Eerie Ed’s 31-day Argentober Letterboxd challenge, which is outlined on page 9! Eerie Ed challenges readers to join him in watching one horror movie from another country per day during the month of October. 

    And be sure to check out the STACKED calendar of upcoming local events that graces the center spread! It showcases horror film screenings and other spooky events that will be happening in Chicago from October through December.

    A hand holds a zine open to a Table of Contents page and a Letters to the Editor page of a zine titled Full Bleed.

    Chicago thanks you, Full Bleed staff (“Tombstone” Tony Recktenwald, “Eerie” Ed Witt, “Jump-scare” Judson Picco, and Dean “the Ween” Gibbs), for this horrifically delightful new horror zine!

    Shine on, zine-stars!
