Horror fans: is this the scariest magazine on the shelves today?

Argh! Why is it staring at me?! Coulrophobes look away now, as our latest print special edition, Horror: The Ultimate Celebration, pounces onto shelves around the world.

As well as a preview of the most exciting upcoming horror projects (including Crimson Peak, The Witch, and Pride & Prejudice & Zombies) the publication also contains the definitely list of the 25 greatest horror films. Such lists are ten-a-penny surely? Not this one. It's compiled by top horror filmmakers: dozens of them contributed, including Guillermo del Toro, John Landis, Robert Englund, Edgar Wright, Rob Zombie and more... It really is the granddaddy of horror movie lists, and it's right here spread across eight pages of blood-soaked pictures and analysis.

The whole thing is created by the brains behind Total Film and SFX magazines. It also boasts a blow-by-blow guide to every horror subgenre (from slashers to vampires, the occult and gory nasties); a breakdown of the 50 worst films of all time; and a celebration of lurid retro poster art. All this and more in your 148-page limited edition horror overload, available now in print or digital formats.
