Interview by Bob Ignizio
With the Internet making it possible
for practically anyone to share their opinions via blogs, websites,
and social media, you might think there's no place in the world
anymore for homemade printed fanzines. And yet, there are still those
dedicated souls who see the value in creating something tangible.
People like Clevelanders Edward Mishic, publisher of Crimson
Screens,
and Mike Salamone, publisher of Bloodfeast, Inc.
As you might guess from the titles, both fanzines deal with horror
and exploitation movies, an area of film fandom that I have a great
deal of love for myself, but don't often get the chance to focus on
here at the Cleveland Movie Blog. I recently interviewed both Ed and
Mike about their zines, and why they prefer print to pixels, and
here's what they had to say.
