Popcorn double feature. The brand new Occulture Special Edition settles into crushed velvet cinema seats to observe the work of two horror masters - Vincent Price and Oliver Reed. The zine dedicates half of its contents to each actor, and each issue comes with two excellent and eldritch collaged covers from Church of the Hollow Spider.
The Reed side delves into the life of the London-born hellraiser, and wonders whether the spirit of 17th Century libertine, John Wilmot, lived on in the chaotic life of the actor, and draws parallels that pull the two together.
The Price side celebrates the work of a horror character actor who, through a series of complex and challenging roles, changed the world of horror cinema forever, by challenging and shattering assumptions and prejudice related to gender and sexuality
Each half also features a selection of films that underpin the actors' cinematic importance, many of which stray from the usual 'classics' and bring us curios to settle down with during this dank and damp summer.
