GoreZone – The Blood-Soaked Bible of Extreme Horror Cinema!

For horror fans who believe the redder, the better, GoreZone was the unapologetically savage sibling of Fangoria, dedicated to the goriest, nastiest, and most extreme horror films ever made. First launched in 1988 by Starlog Press, this splatter-soaked magazine delivered deep-dive interviews, behind-the-scenes FX breakdowns, and no-holds-barred coverage of underground and hardcore horror cinema—from the slasher boom and VHS nasties to extreme European gore-fests and beyond.

Unlike mainstream horror mags, GoreZone embraced the taboo, highlighting films that pushed violence, practical effects, and shock value to their limits. Whether covering Tom Savini’s grotesque creations, Lucio Fulci’s maggot-infested nightmares, or the most shocking scenes in ’80s and ’90s horror, this magazine was a sanctuary for fans who wanted their horror raw, visceral, and dripping with carnage. Though it was resurrected briefly in the 2000s, GoreZone remains a holy grail for collectors of extreme horror journalism. If you love horror that punches you in the gut and leaves a stain, GoreZone was made for you.
