If you had told me as a kid that one day I’d be running a full-blown horror magazine, I probably would’ve said, “Cool… but can I still play with my fake blood and VHS cameras?” While everyone else was dressing up as superheroes and fantasy characters, I was Dracula costumes, candy, and a love for all things spooky have been part of me since day one. One of the first horror films that terrified me was Phantasm that scene where the kid tries to escape the mortuary and the Tall Man grabs his foot? Yeah… nightmare fuel for a kid staying up past bedtime. I was sleeping with the lights on for weeks! Before HORRORSCOPE, I dove into the world of special effects for low-budget films, learning from live streams by artists like Eric Fox. Sculpting, prosthetics, and painting only deepened my obsession with horror. I’ve worked at local haunted attractions—including the old Lorton Prison scaring people, and even dabbled in game development with a demo called Unit1376, a horror survival zombie game. Making a playable demo solo was no small feat, and who knows maybe a HORRORSCOPE video game is on the horizon. Fast forward, and here we are: HORRORSCOPE Magazine fully chaotic, fully indie, fully awesome. Running the magazine solo is basically a full-contact sport. From brainstorming content to designing layouts, printing, and shipping right to your doorstep, I do it all. The goal? To help indie filmmakers, artists, and creators get the exposure they deserve. Social media algorithms may make visibility tough, but HORRORSCOPE proves that passion, hustle, and creativity beat bots any day. Every issue is packed with chaos, goodies, and insider info—without the ridiculous prices you see elsewhere. $100 for a full-page ad. No cap. No fine print. HORRORSCOPE has sold out every issue so far, is distributed in  49 states (Hawaii, we see you!), and has reached over 20 countries. My social media numbers may not hit a quarter-million, but they’re organic and impactful one reason I get exclusive press access and invites. Over the years, I’ve learned the hard way that mixing business with friendships can backfire. Missed deadlines and complacency don’t align with my vision, and I’m committed to keeping the magazine professional and credible. If you’re a creator with a story to tell, hit me up at horrorscopemagazine@yahoo.com. But a word of warning: if you don’t take your project seriously, neither will I please don’t waste my time being lazy. I feature indie artists and filmmakers who deserve an audience, and my ad space prices are unbeatable because I genuinely care about the horror and film community. HORRORSCOPE isn’t just a magazine it’s a movement. It’s about giving voice to the passionate, the weird, the fearless, and the creative. It’s about proving that even when the odds are stacked, dreams can be printed, shipped, and shared with the world one bloody, beautiful page at a time.
