RUE MORGUE #120, with an Arrow Vid article on “the Art of Arrow”– apparently my Demons cover is on the contents page! Totally rad! JEFF ZORNOW, VIA FACEBOOK
IT’S OFFICIALLY MARCH 1ST, which means Febru- ary’s @RueMorgue drought is over! Bring on Weird Stats & Morbid Facts and Bowen’s Basement! @JAYSOTKOWY, VIA TWITTER
I WAS BUMMED OUT to learn that the message boards on
rue-morgue.com have been removed and on top of that I was not overly awed by your recent design revamp of the website. And it was all happen- ing during your issue-less month of February. As I was clamouring for the new Rue Morgue, I couldn’t help but think, “Is the magazine still going to be good?” But after reading Dave’s latest editorial, it’s clear that Rue is still on the same page as it has always been, and I believe that your continued honest communica- tion with your readers is one of your strong points as an indie publication. Oh, and RM#120 was fantastic – maybe sameness is lameness after all! I didn’t miss any of the newly departed columns and the new sec- tions really pack a wallop. Excited to see Justin Er- ickson throw some creative weight around as I’ve been a fan for a while now. ANTHONY DIBATISTA – HAMILTON, ONTARIO
JUST PICKED UP the new issue and I’m delighted to discover a great review for my new book, Rough Cut (RM#120). Wow, and thanks!

@RUEMORGUE, way to go on the new website design guys! A freakin’ plus from this fan. @STRANGEKIDSCLUB, VIA TWITTER
I’M NOT A BIG FAN of the new website. Like the old saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” KEVIN ZACHARY SERRICK, VIA FACEBOOK
I AM READING @RueMorgue Jan/Feb edition. It’s gone a little Hollywood.

ONE OF THE THINGS I like most about being a high school English teacher is that, even though there are certain skills I am supposed to teach my students, I have a fair amount of freedom in choosing the mate- rials I use to teach those skills. I recently gave Dave’s Note from Underground, Hypocrites and Horror Fans (RM#118) to my tenth-grade students because I thought it was a great piece for teaching the concept of author’s purpose; I also thought it was important, however, to point out the hypocrisy of those who in- dulge in sadistic voyeurism by watching increasingly
graphic news media, while looking down on those who watch horror films. The lesson became a lively discussion about the moral differences between real- life violence and fictional violence, and I left school at the end of the week with the hope that my students become more conscious of what kind of violence they choose to watch and why.

I’M ASSUMING MONICA S. KUEBLER asks for the Twilight review assignments. I went back and re-read all her Twilight reviews and she tries really hard to sound like a hater, but judging by her latest review of Breaking Dawn – Part 1, her true colours have come out. She is in fact a Twi-hard! There is nothing wrong with being a Twilight fan but the movies don’t belong in the hallowed pages of my favourite horror mag. So please, Monica, for the last review of your favourite movie franchise, try watching it high. Trust me, they are phenomenal. NATHAN LEE – ADDRESS WITHHELD
[FYI, Monica’s actual favourite horror movie franchise is The Evil Dead – Ed.]
THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE screening was one of the best CineMacabre Movie Nights ever. Even with some tech challenges, the Amy Holden Jones in- terview was awesome. Huge thanks! PAT LIGHTHELP, VIA FACEBOOK
I LOVE YOUR MAGAZINE. It has great content, and is just plain great. It has well-written reviews and intro- duces me to many great movies. I started reading your magazine around RM#105, and have gotten every edition since. Anyways, I was wondering if you could do an issue on German gore films such as Vio- lent Sh*t and its sequels Premutos:The Lord of the Living Dead, Zombie ’90, The Burning Moon, Nekro- mantik, etc. That would please me, as I love German horror films.

I FINALLY FOUND IT, that movie with the giant rats that kill... Deadly Eyes. Thank you Sick Top Six No- vember 2011, my life can now go on. SEAN LAUBER, VIA FACEBOOK
I RECENTLY SAW CHILLERAMA, the new horror an- thology, which features a photo of the great film- maker Orson Welles on a wall in the film. This movie is supposed to be an homage to Orson Welles and to the horror genre? What a crock! It’s no Citizen Kane, that’s for sure. Chillerama is a so-called “fear film” that ranks as one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and is an insult to Orson Welles. T.B.S. – GOOSE CREEK, SOUTH CAROLINA

WOULD YOU RATHER have an Uncle Fester or a Grandpa Munster?
How is this even a question? Grandpa Munster for sure! I always felt like Fester was the least inter- esting of the Addams clan. ANGELICA VØN MÜNSTER
Uncle Fester all the way! The Addams Family was way funnier than The Munsters AND you’d never need a flashlight while Fester was around! ROB MORGANBESSER
While I love them both, if pressed, I choose Grandpa! He has magic pills and an awesome lab; Uncle Fester is only good for explosives and the oc- casional light bulb trick.
AZRAEL RENEA
Grandpa could get cranky at times, and tended to lose focus on his family when he was obsessed with his experiments and such. Fester never fal- tered when it came to family; his explosives and blunderbuss were always ready to do business. CLAYTON GEORGE
Clearly an unfair question for the Rue Morgue au- dience.
