"Diabolique tickles your funny bone and cracks it too, exploring all that's irreverent, wonky and weird from the horror community's most alternately playful and sadistic minds. We'll walk you through horror/comedy hybrids new and old, featuring exclusive interviews with Ben Wheatley, Adam Wingard, and James Wan, while delving into the inner workings of extreme and erotic cinema with a tribute to the late, great exploitation helmer Jess Franco."

"Amidst a political climate marked by division and pre and post 2012 fears about the apocalypse hanging in the air, the amount of underground and mainstream filmic and literary offerings about end times currently being released is resonating with audiences like never before. We wrestle with these themes as they're depicted by everything from The Omega Man to 28 Days Later to The World's End to The Sacrament and everything in between."

"What with the waning output of many of the genre's most prolific filmmakers, horror has faced something of an identity crisis. While some legends behind the camera have either passed away or struggled to adapt their authorial styles to the changes of the current moment, others have simply opted to break free from the conventions of the macabre completely, trading in their body of work's horror-specific elements for ambitions of the genre-bending sort. This dramatic shift begs the question: Which bold artistic voices are next to take the reins? Diabolique #19 seeks to answer this very question, with interviews with everyone from modern auteurs like Vincenzo Natali, to seasoned greats working to maintain relevancy like Dario Argento, and many more. You'll soon find there is life after the 'Masters of Horror.'"

"Continuing the exploration of familial ties in our previous issue, Diabolique #20 delves into one of the most crucial staples of horror cinema: the family unit. From Norman and 'Mother' Bates to the Sawyers, to the Torrances, to the Manson family and everyone in between, dysfunctional families have comprised countless classics, and have spawned atypical conceptions of what it means to be 'family' in a new era. All this and more, including an interview with Ti West on his acclaimed new film, The Sacrament, round out this fresh look at a crucial trope of horror culture! "

"Diabolique's focus on the family unit in horror film brings us to another filmic subspecies, one in which families neither cause nor defeat terror, but often succumb to it. Regardless of when and where it originated, the home invasion subgenre has become a crucial staple of contemporary genre cinema. We delve into important current and vintage titles of home invasion horror, including Michael Haneke's Funny Games, Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury's Inside, and many more. Lock your windows, close your doors!"

"Few fears in the history of the human condition, legitimate or irrational, amount to those tied to the overwhelming experience of being pregnant. The uniquely female undertaking of carrying of a soon-to-be-new-life within oneself conjures all kinds of dread about the radical transformation of one's own life - not to mention, one's own body - that comes along with it. Diabolique charts the development of genre cinema and literature's most provocative depictions of pregnancy, starting with classics like Rosemary's Baby and It's Alive, before moving to contemporary knocked-up knockouts such as Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo's Inside."

"Since Mary Shelley picked up a pen and wrote what would become her game-changing macabre opus, Frankenstein, an entire subgenre fascinated with anatomy, surgery and maniacal malpractice was birthed into fruition: Medical Horror. Focusing on this phenomenon and more, Diabolique #23 brings you two covers: the first, a celebration of Eli Roth's revitalization of the cannibal exploitation film, The Green Inferno; the second, a riff on 'Twisted Twins' Jen and Sylvia Soska's See No Evil 2, which marks their second horror film set in the world of medical school. As always, our exclusive cover art will be matched with equally exclusive interviews with Eli Roth, the Soska Sisters and many more, as we cut open classic and contemporary Medical Horror titles for examination. If you've got a fever, then the only prescription is more Diabolique!"
