The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

With regular vampire features RUE MORGUE was founded in October 1997 by Rodrigo Gudiño as an independent 20 page black-and-white zine, and distributed by hand in Toronto, Canada. Rodrigo envisioned RUE MORGUE as a unique publication that would explore and celebrate the wider world of horror; not merely movies, but also horror in art, pop culture and history.

Rodrigo came up with the idea for RUE MORGUE exactly six months before the first issue hit the streets, and just prior to embarking on a weekly horror movie viewing of roughly one hundred of the most influential horror movies made between the period of 1950 and 1980. The screenings became the seeds of the RUE MORGUE community: fans, writers, screenwriters, filmmakers and musicians brought together by a love of the horror genre.

Currently RUE MORGUE is one of the leading horror genre magazines in the world, and hosts a series of offshoot events, including the Rue Morgue Festival of Fear Canadian National Horror Expo; Rue Morgue Cinema, Rue Morgue Radio; Rue Morgue Presents CineMacabre and Rue Morgue annual Halloween events.
