Important announcement concerning the next SHOCK CINEMA:

Unfortunately, due to an unexpected medical situation, the next issue of SHOCK CINEMA is temporarily on hold. For the last several months, I’ve had increased problems with my eyesight, which has made working at a computer for 8 to 12 hours per day incredibly difficult. After recent appointments with a couple different eye doctors, I’ve learned that I will be needing cataract surgery in both eyes. This isn’t a huge surprise, since I’ve been wearing corrective lens since I was six years old and have also had a history of serious eye infections beginning in my early-20s, with doctors warning me that my bouts of iritis could cause longterm damage.

Still, the idea of this upcoming surgery is absolutely freaking me out and I’m depressed as hell, but there aren’t any other options since these problems will only increase the longer I wait. Anna and I are currently scheduling the surgeries (they do one eye at a time, two weeks apart), as well as the numerous required post-surgery doctors’ visits -- which will take us throughout June. So work on #65 has essentially come to a standstill for now, as I prepare for the procedures, then recuperate. I’ll get back to the next SHOCK CINEMA as soon as possible. In the meantime, any customer orders for the current or back issues will be processed as usual. Thanks for your patience and wish me luck.

Our initial freight shipment of SHOCK CINEMA #64 has finally arrived (after sitting in a Toledo, Ohio service depot for five days over the Christmas holiday). The new issue looks good and I’ll be spending the entire New Year’s weekend stuffing, sealing and stamping subscription orders -- which will all go into the mail next week.

12/13/2023

A Long Overdue Update: SHOCK CINEMA #64. The new issue is currently at the printer. We approved the match print on Monday evening and, so far, everything looks good. Now it's just waiting to see when the magazine actually goes to press, then into the bindery... The SC website’s main page [www.shockcinemamagazine.com] has also been updated, so that anyone who doesn’t already have a subscription can pre-order #64.

06/03/2023

The new issue includes interviews with Karen Allen (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Starman, Animal House, The Glass Menagerie), David Selby (Dark Shadows, The Super Cops, Falcon Crest, White Squall, Up the Sandbox), Ike Eisenmann (Escape to Witch Mountain, Devil Dog: The Hound of Hell, The Amazing Cosmic Awareness of Duffy Moon), Lisa Langlois (Class of 1984, Happy Birthday To Me, Deadly Eyes, Phobia), and director-writer Jerrold Freedman (Kansas City Bomber, A Cold Night’s Death, Night Gallery, Borderline). #63 will be in stores in two to three weeks, or order your copy at: www.shockcinemamagazine.com.

Most of our US subscription copies were mailed on Tuesday afternoon, and international orders will go out before the end of this week... #63 won’t be in stores for a couple more weeks, but you can order your copy now at: www.shockcinemamagazine.com... I hope to have a website update completed this weekend, containing all of the pertinent info about our new issue.

Update: SHOCK CINEMA #63! The new issue is currently at the printer and I’m waiting to approve the match print. We don’t have a schedule yet for when #63 will actually go on press or I’ll be shipping out issues, but I'll post an update as soon as we receive a more concrete timeline... If you aren't already a subscriber, I’ll have #63 pre-orders available at the Shock Cinema Magazine website this weekend: www.shockcinemamagazine.com.

SHOCK CINEMA #62 is now available and has been shipped to all subscribers. It includes interviews with Adrienne Barbeau (Creepshow, Escape From New York, Swamp Thing, The Fog, Maude), Cliff DeYoung (The Hunger, Blue Collar, F/X, Shock Treatment, Secret Admirer, Sunshine), Wendy Schaal (The ‘Burbs, Innerspace, American Dad!, Creature, Small Soldiers, Fantasy Island), Richard Cox (Cruising, King of the Mountain, Seizure, Between the Lines, Hellhole), and writer-director Nicholas Meyer (Star Trek II; The Wrath of Khan, The Day After, The Deceivers, Company Business).

SHOCK CINEMA #62 is back from the printer and all subscription copies should be in the mail by Friday. I'll be updating the SC website with more detailed info this weekend... Our distributors will be receiving their copies in about a week, so the new issue probably won’t show up in stores for about two weeks. Or you can order your copy NOW at: www.shockcinemamagazine.com.

10/03/2022

Update: SHOCK CINEMA #62. I just wanted to let everyone know that the new issue is currently at the printer. We’re waiting to approve the matchprint, which is scheduled to arrive today, so it’ll still be a few weeks until we have finished issues.

Unfortunately, there’s also some bad news. For the first time since 1995, we’ve increased SHOCK CINEMA’s cover price. I’d been considering it for the last several years, since printing costs slowly kept rising with each issue. But a big hike became an absolute necessity starting with #62 when our printer suddenly hit us with a whopping 22% (!) price increase compared to only six months ago. Yikes!

If you don’t already have a subscription, you’ll be able to pre-order your copy of SC #62 later this week at: www.shockcinemamagazine.com.

Look for #61 in stores in about two weeks, or order your copy at: www.shockcinemamagazine.com.

03/23/2022

SHOCK CINEMA #61 is currently being shipped to subscribers and stores! All subscription copies should be in the mail by Thursday. Look for #61 in bookstores in about two weeks, or you can order your copy NOW at: www.shockcinemamagazine.com.

I'll be updating the SC website with more detailed information about the new issue this weekend...
