    In case you’ve forgotten, Diabolique means “of the Devil.” So what better way to usher in our 24th issue than with the Devil’s horns being flashed by our cover boy, the enigmatic genius Alejandro Jodorowsky? Inside, our Editor-in-Chief, Rondo-Award winner Max Weinstein, sits down for an exclusive chat with none other than ‘Jodo’ himself to pick the brain of this man, myth, and legend. Then, consider our Jodo coverage a gateway drug to our historical accounts on both the life and Satanic work of Mexican surrealist filmmaker, Juan López Moctezuma, and the influence of The Occult in horror culture and society at large.

   And, in keeping with the chaos of our modern times, our Managing Editor, Joe Yanick, and Web Editor, Jake Whritner, each deliver fun and thought-provoking coverage of writer-director David Robert Mitchell’s It Follows (featuring an interview with Mitchell) and the explosive trend of Internet Horror.

   This spring, Diabolique is both your fever and your cure! Our 23rd issue lays Medical Horror on the operating table for dissection and holds out its vital organs for all to see. Inside, we break down the themes and screams of Eyes Without A Face and The Skin I Live In, and share our exclusive interviews with “Twisted Twins” Jen and Sylvia Soska and exploitation legend Jack Hill, in which they examine their bodies of work.

   Rondo Award-nominee and Editor-in-Chief, Max Weinstein, and our new Web Editor, Jake Whritner, each give unique treatments to H.P. Lovecraft’s “Herbert West-Reanimator,” and its cinematic adaptation, Re-Animator. And while the doctors are in(sane) in our takes on The Human Centipede trilogy and The Abominable Dr. Phibes, our two new columns, Fright From the Fringe and Blu Magick, deliver the cinephilic prescription you’ve long been searching for.

Diabolique 23 will see you now, and it’s sick in the head!
