Rue Morgue covers horror in all media: films, books, websites, comic books, music, etc. Each issue includes feature stories, opinion columns, and numerous reviews. Its online presence includes an award-winning weekly broadcast called Rue Morgue Radio.
After researching other film magazines in the horror genre, I found Rue Morgue really excelled from the rest. Other magazines such as; fangoria, had a more amateur look compared to Rue Morgue which is in my opinion of a much higher standard. Therefore, I decided to research recent covers and analyse their techniques so I can therefore incorporate them into my own magazine.
