You’ll find Ghosts: the movie, 1970s horror, Other Mommy and more in our autumn edition of Film Stories magazine. Here’s what’s inside issue 61:


As the nights draw in, Film Stories turns its attention to cinema’s darker side for issue 61, available to order right now from the Film Stories Store.

Our autumn horror special features two variant covers and a vast selection of features, interviews and reviews packed into its 168 pages. Plus! There are exclusive bundle deals where you can get a copy of the magazine and some wonderful merchandise – all for a bargain price.

First, though, there’s our exclusive interview with the creators and star of this autumn’s most sinister comedy, Ghosts: The Haunting Of Button House.

Find out how Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard, Ben Willbond, Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby and director Simon Hynd have brought a much-loved TV show back from the dead – and how they had to provide their own catering during the development process. 

Then we head back to the 1970s to explore the horror movies that still cast a shadow over cinema today. With the help of filmmakers, academics and experts, find out how a decade of political turmoil and social change possessed the screen, from independent shockers like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Dawn Of The Dead to such Hollywood nightmares as The Exorcist and The Omen.

Moving into the present, we catch up with British director Rob Savage to hear about his new domestic shocker, Other Mommy – and how it gives Jessica Chastain the chance to put in one of her most terrifying performances to date. 

Elsewhere, you’ll find:

  • Side By Side: the great digital versus celluloid debate in the age of The Odyssey and IMAX
  • Cinematographer Mark Irwin shares his memories of working with David Cronenberg, Wes Craven and more
  • We head off for the Mountains Of Madness, and the Guillermo del Toro adaptation that never was
  • Producer Andrea Cornwell on uncovering British filmmaking talent, and her work with Saint Maud director Rose Glass
  • 28 Years Later, and how cinema’s most infectious franchise reflects a post-Brexit Northern England
  • Near Dark: Kathryn Bigelow’s vampire masterpiece at 50 – and some reflections from its co-star, Jenette Goldstein
  • VFX artist Dennis Berardi talks us through the process of making monsters for Milla Jovovich to beat up

…Plus there are our regular, huge sections devoted to books, physical media, short films and soundtracks. And even more features, columns, opinions, oddments and movie recommendations to boot. Did we mention that the magazine is 168 pages?  

Film Stories issue 61 is available with two variant covers: one featuring Ghosts: The Haunting Of Button House, the other an exclusive, Exorcist-inspired piece of artwork created by British artist and designer Tom Mead. The latter is available exclusively on our store, along with special bundles that include a T-shirt, signed Ghosts posters and a horror fanzine created by Ben Wheatley.

These are available in limited numbers while stocks last, so order yours now to avoid disappointment.

Alternatively, there are subscription offers to suit a range of budgets, meaning you’ll never miss another edition of Film Stories.

Or, if you’re out shopping, you can buy a copy from select newsagents and stores.
