If it's not real, it's here in La Cosa La Cosa is THE magazine in Spanish
about horror, sci-fi, fantasy and other wicked genres in the movie and
TV world. Monsters, spies, UFOs, naked chicks, wolfmen on wheels,
lubricated gladiators, twisted twins, giant dinosaurs, nudist camps,
serial killers, mutants, sinful dwarves, gorillas, second string super
heroes...
Axel Kuschevatzky, editor and publisher, writes to moviemags.com:
'I started the magazine in 1995, with borrowed money and some cash I
got going to a Quiz Show on TV. It used to be a part black and white
magazine until 3 years ago.'
We are grateful to Axel for all the info he send. You can find it here. |

Thanks for all info Chris.
"Temple of Schlock [was] a photocopied cut-and-paste fanzine that I co-founded with Paul DeCirce in Syracuse, NY back in July of 1987. At the time, I was 16 years old and Paul was 15. Heavily influenced by Steve Puchalski’s Slimetime, which was published across town and distributed in the Syracuse University area, Temple of Schlock reviewed new and old horror, action and exploitation movies that were being released to theaters and videocassette.
During the four years of the Temple’s existence, we produced 24 issues and accumulated close to 150 subscribers from all over the world. We also had a good roster of contributing writers, like Jeff Smith (of Wet Paint), Dave Szurek, Kris Gilpin, and John W. Donaldson, and cool graphic artists including Barry Wooldridge and Jeff Gaither doing stuff for us.
Paul and I edited the first 16 issues together, then Paul took a break and I did #17 and 18 on my own. Paul returned for #19, then left for good. I edited the next five issues and started a sixth, but called it quits in December of 1991. #25 was never finished.
Paul and I have recently reopened the Temple as a MySpace page. We can be found here: www.myspace.com/originaltempleofschlock. All of the covers are scanned on the site, and we're slowly scanning the original issues and posting those as well (but only #18 is up as of now). Come by and say hi!"

Back to the good old days of printed zines.
Krimi Corner
is the first and only publication of its kind. A 4-page newsletter devoted to the German Edgar Wallace films and other krimis.
Issues will be printed as one long sheet and folded in the middle, so there are no staples involved.

If you like movies of the '60s & '70s, the essential movie magazine is
CINEMA RETRO. Publishing a film mag is swimming against the tide nowdays, but CR is entering the fourth year of
publication now and I can only say 'keep up the good work.'
CINEMA RETRO has recently added a link to this site noting:
'MOVIE MAGS- a candid and insightful sight that analyzes the current state of movie magazines throughout the world,
from high end efforts to low-budget gore-oriented titles. Fine writing and observations as well as a good forum section
that gives plenty of insight into why its so hard to run a successful movie magazine in the age of the web.'

AMAZING. Chris Poggiali sends all 25 covers of Temple of Schlock to moviemags.com. Enjoy
- This is not an update as Sheer Filth was missing from this site.
But not any more, thanks to Vitelloni.
- Videooze gets the royal treatment from Vitelloni with big new scans of
the covers and full detailed content.
- MotM was my inspiration for making this site.
When I discovered #6 around 1996, I was amazed with the plethora of moviemags that existed.
- Draculina's issue #51 is the first issue made available for download.
Fortunately, pinted version is also available. Meanwhile, big covers of issues 3-5 are
here courtesy of Vitelloni.
- Nor(m)a K was dedicated to Traci Lords and is very difficult to find these days.
Even the covers are rare to see. Thanks to Vitelloni here are the covers of the first three issues.
- Giallo Pages gets a major update here with new and large scans of the covers and new index.
