It's time for another Halloween 'zine review! Growing up as a punk rock kid, I collected many a fanzine through the years. Small, DIY handmade photocopied, low-budget mini magazines that covered all aspects of the music genre, created and produced by the very participants within that scene. There's just something about holding a small magazine that was created and assembled by hand that always felt so tactile and genuine to me. And when I later became a home haunter, I discovered the same medium and immediately began collecting them.
Up next is the current issue of Haunt (#12), a Halloween 'zine created by GroovyDoom. Last year, I was able to grab the entire 'zine bundle (the original 9 issues plus the new release, issue 10) which gave me hours of reading time! I really love each issue of Haunt because it absolutely nails that 70s, 80s, and 90s vintage Halloween nostalgia with page after page of haunted house and Halloween newspaper ads, photos, a word search and spooky drawings. Each issue is a quick read, but it's so much fun looking at all of those old ads again.
