Deep Red – The Uncompromising Bible of Horror and Exploitation Cinema

Born from the unfiltered passion of legendary horror journalist Chas Balun, Deep Red was the anti-establishment horror magazine that took genre coverage to a whole new level. First launched in the 1980s, this cult-favorite publication celebrated the blood-soaked, the banned, and the boundary-pushing, offering raw, no-holds-barred deep dives into splatter films, grindhouse gems, and extreme horror that mainstream critics wouldn’t touch.

With razor-sharp writing, brutal honesty, and a true fan’s devotion to the genre, Deep Red dissected everything from Fulci’s gore-drenched nightmares to Japanese horror oddities and the most infamous Video Nasties, all while championing the artistry behind the carnage. This wasn’t just another horror mag—it was a battle cry for the hardcore, a manifesto for those who believe horror should shock, disturb, and, above all, stay dangerous. If you like your horror raw, relentless, and revelatory, you’ve just found your new sacred text.
