A scene that influenced generations of writers, filmmakers and fans, XEROX FEROX is the first book to cover the horror film fanzine and the culture it spawned. From Famous Monsters of Filmland to Fangoria and everything in between, XEROX FEROX is much more than a book about monster magazines. It examines the home-grown DIY fanzines that dared to dig deeper than the slick and shiny newsstand mags ever would... or indeed even could.
XEROX FEROX traces the rise of the horror film fanzine, from the Famous Monster-starved kids of the 1960s to the splatter-crazed gorehounds that followed. Featuring in-depth interviews with fifty writers, editors, and industry pros, XEROX FEROX is the final word on an era that changed the world of fandom forever.
of The Wild World nzine Fa the Horror Film
The titles are as lurid as the films that they covered. Gore Gazette. Deep Red. Sleazoid Express. Before message boards, before blogs, before the Internet itself, the fanzine reigned as the chief source of news and information for horror fans worldwide. Often printed on the cheap and sold for the price of postage, madcap and irreverent mags like Slimetime, Subhuman and Shock Xpress travelled the globe, creating a thriving network of fans and professionals alike.

deeP red number 2: “We have suCh sIGhTs To share WITh you...”
by John Szpunar

I
started thinking about this book back in 2006. I had recently interviewed deep red editor Chas. balun and fanzine veteran steve bissette. my idea at the time was to conduct and assemble a collection of interviews with some of the key people involved in the old fanzine scene. not just any zine scene—I wanted to talk to the guys behind the horror film rags. dirty little things like subhuman, slimetime, and sleazoid express. I began working on things in earnest, but I quickly realized that I had started to spread myself way too thin. I was working a day job as a technical writer for General motors and trying to keep my dvd label (barrel entertainment) out of debt. I started shelving a lot of the projects that I was involved with, and Xerox ferox was one of them. by 2007, I was mentally and physically drained. It was time to take a break from things. I said goodbye to my old life, spun a much needed cocoon, and eventually resurfaced with new wings. I started working at
John and JoeL m. reed (LeFT) aT sam’s, 1998. phoTo by davId szpunar.
one of the finest museums in the world—The henry Ford in dearborn, michigan. The time that I spent there was essential and rejuvenating. all of my colleagues were in love with history, and I embarked upon a five year tenure as a both a student and teacher of early american agriculture. Working at a museum can be relaxing and maddening at the same time. When things were good, it seemed as if I was on a paid vacation. When things were bad… well, let’s just say that I began to seek solace in a long lost love—exploitation films of every shape and size. Films and fandom suddenly became fun again. This wasn’t something that I did for a living. It was something that I did to relax. I started watching movies again. I started reading about them again. and I started to write about them again. another very personal metamorphosis was about to take shape. When david kerekes (the publisher of the book that you’re now reading) wrote and asked me if I had any of the old files from my lengthy (and sadly aborted) book about the exploitation director Joel m. reed, I pinched myself. perfect timing. I went directly to a long locked vault and started searching. sure enough, there they were. I set about editing a few chapters together, and what do you know? I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it so much that I started excavating some other artifacts from my past. In 2011, I stumbled upon some ancient floppy discs and cassette tapes that had been patiently waiting in a box that I thought was long gone.

Introduction by John Szpunar
The dust covered thing was labeled (in rather crude printing) “Xerox Ferox.” I decided to give the contents a once over. before I knew it, the past became a big part of my present. I started making plans with myself to begin climbing the mountain that would eventually become Xerox ferox. I started out by transcribing the tapes. shit, this stuff was good. really good. but would anyone else be interested in a book about old fanzines? Would I be able to track down the people that I wanted to interview? and if I did manage to track them down, would they even care about the old boxes in their closets? only one way to find out. I started making some phone calls. one of the first people that I talked to was Jim morton, the editor of trashola. he lives in san Francisco, and I live in detroit. by the time I finished talking to him, it was very early in the morning, but I didn’t care. Jim was great—thoughtful, funny, and full of wonderful stories. I quickly transcribed the interview and made some more calls. before long, I was talking to a lot of the old gang, and they were actually talking back— pages and pages of taking back. If I didn’t have the contact information for a potential interview, it was almost guaranteed that somebody within my newfound circle would. before long, I was looking at twenty, thirty, forty interviews. and that was only the beginning. actually, this is probably a good time to address my beginning. I was born in 1973 in Warren, michigan, a suburb of detroit. most of my earliest memories involve watching horror movies. Like many of the people interviewed in this book, I was mesmerized by the fuzzy uhF signals that came to life on the family television. I was addicted to a show called Chiller double feature. It aired on saturday afternoons, and a man who called himself sir Graves Ghastly administered my first dose of horror films from the sixties and seventies. I’ll never forget seeing eugenio martín’s horror express for the first time. The glowing eyes of the creature scared the shit out of me, as did John Cacavas’ haunting score. shortly after, I discovered comic books. one day, my grandfather

brought a big box down from his attic. It was filled with coverless pre-codes, and I instantly fell in love with them. I started making weekly trips to the library, scouring the shelves for any information that I could find about the things. before long, I was reading about Fredric Wertham and his attack on what I had recently identified as the eCs. I’m fairly certain that I was the only sixth grader in my neighborhood that had an axe to grind with the man. and then, I discovered famous Monsters of filmland. I had seen ads for the magazine in the back pages of Creepy and eerie and I really wanted to read it. I finally found a few tattered copies at a flea market and I took them home. as a child of the eighties, I wasn’t really impressed by the content. famous Monsters was talking about “old” movies, and by this time, I was hip to the splatter craze that was just beginning to blossom. What did make an impression was the other-worldliness about it. as with the eCs, Creepy, and eerie, reading famous Monsters was very much like stepping into a time machine. I was enamored by the history and nostalgia of it all, but where was the voice of my generation? suddenly, it hit. on a routine trip to the local pharmacy, my young eyes saw fangoria for the first time. I was still too young to buy it (and my mother yanked it away before I could turn to page four), but I knew then and there that it was something very special. my father had the eCs, my older cousins had the Warren mags, and I had fangoria. a few years later, I was a proud member of the fango Family, and my life would never be the same. before long, I was sneaking into r-rated horror flicks with my friends. That was always a thrill, even if the film that we saw was less than stellar. It was almost as if we were breaking the law. We were doing something taboo, something forbidden. and when a vCr finally hit my household, all bets were off. It was around this time that I discovered the fanzines. I remember seeing ads for a comic book shop called FantaCo in the back pages of

fangoria. It was kind of like seeing the ads for famous Monsters in Creepy and eerie, but this time the ads were current. I quickly sent away for something called the gore score. soon after that, I purchased my first copy of deep red. on page thirty-eight of issue number 2, was an article called “Fanzines a-z.” I sat down with a pencil in my hand and made out a list of the zines that I wanted to read. Cinemacabre. Crimson Celluloid. demonique. gore gazette. sleazoid express. I didn’t get my hands on them all at once, but as the years went on, I built up a solid collection. Those zines led to others, and I soon became a full-fledged bloodhound: I was sniffing out fanzines from every corner of the earth and I was always on the lookout for more. When I read in incredibly strange films (the seminal book from re/search) that guest editor Jim morton had once published a fanzine called trashola, I knew that I had to track it down. before long, I was a part of a network of zine and tape traders, and the goods kept rolling in: stink. The splatter times. fatal Visions. hi-tech terror. I was coming of age with the help of a new generation, and I was having the time of my life. The fanzines were different than the mainstream magazines like fangoria. They had nothing to lose, and the results were both serious and sleazy. nothing beat getting down in the dirt with rick sullivan as he ranted and raved in the pages of gore gazette. There was something mysterious and fascinating about sleazoid express—bill Landis and Jimmy mcdonough were wading knee-deep in filth, but there was real poetry to be found in their words. stefan Jaworzyn’s shock Xpress took genre criticism to an entirely new level. and J. adler’s grindhouse was just plain out there! When I was a kid reading fanzines, I had a theory. I figured that all of the guys who wrote, edited, and published the things were kind and kindred spirits. a wonderful network of fans connected in those days, be they readers or writers. I was a reader who wanted to become a writer, and as I made headway with my research for this book, I realized that I

was slowly becoming a part of this wild and crazy bunch. The interviews went on for hours into the night. at times, I was asking questions. and at other times, I was simply talking to fellow fans. To paraphrase something that dennis daniel said in the pages of deep red, we were friends shooting the “horror shit.” We were brethren. We were one. as much as I’d like to call this book the definitive study of its subject, I have to acknowledge two glaring omissions. I made every effort to interview Psychotronic’s michael Weldon and rick sullivan of the gore gazette. both publications were seminal zines that paved a road that is still widely traveled. alas, those interviews were not meant to be. I’d like to take this moment to thank both men for all of their hard work and inspiration. perhaps we’ll get the chance to talk one day. With that out of the way, let’s get on to the meat of things. The book that you hold in your hands is the result of a lifetime obsession with monster movies. That obsession is not just mine. everyone interviewed within this book’s pages shares the same love of the genre, and their enthusiasm and passion shines through with every word. I’m sure that you share these sentiments as well, and I dedicate this book to all of the fans who once sat spellbound in front of the television, marveling at the monsters that seemed to live inside it. We are brethren. We are one. I’ve held these interviews close by my side for a very long time. The time has finally come to let them loose… John Szpunar Detroit, Michigan The last days of January, 2013
