Killbaby was a really cool ‘zine that focused on horror/ gore/ exploitation flicks, but also had some music content (mostly old school (’70s) punk). The layout was very appealing- more interesting than most ‘zines done on a computer with a desktop publishing program (they usually tended to be kind of blah), and included a bit of art and humor thrown in randomly as well.
Issue #2 came out Sept of 1989, and featured an interview with Charles Pinion (who did a skate/ splatter movie back then called Twisted Issues), and Donald Farmer (who did several low budget movies including Cannibal Hookers), an Udo Kier biography/ filmography (including reviews of most of the films on the list), an article on Salo: The 120 Days of Sodom, as well as one on a couple of blaxploitation movies, letters, ‘zine and music reviews, and a bunch of long, informative movie reviews including a lot of obscure and hard to find movies. The writing is good and informative without being pretentious or too scholarly sounding, and this is a nice little ‘zine. A fun and informative read…
Hi,
I’m in the middle of reading thru “Xerox Ferox” (awesome book on fanzines from 2013) and wanted to see if some of the mags (the ones that I never found back in the day) were available for download anywhere in Cyberspace. And so I found your blog, lol. Thanks heaps for the many scans of zines!!!!! But my question is: why only parts of the zines? Would you consider scanning and posting the complete zines? Unfortunately, these things are almost impossible to find after 20-30 years, and the few on eBay are EXPENSIVE!
