1. NIGHTMARE FUEL 

New to the small business game, but not new to obsessing about our favorite genre, Nightmare Fuel offers folks an opportunity to pick up some seriously sought after blu-ray vittles.

4. CULT CLASSICS 

A staple for genre fans in the Phoenix, Arizona area, Cult Classics have hosted countless screenings over the years. In addition to bringing the Valley’s favorite films, artist and host, Victor Moreno, further celebrates these selections with his popular art pieces. Creating exceptional yet inexpensive prints as well as extremely limited, one of a kind, hand crafted busts, hand painted Christmas cards and meticulous matchbook sized creations and more — Cult Classics continues to salute horror with undeniable passion.

5. GORE NOIR MAGAZINE 

A consummate supporter of fellow indie artists, Mitch Rafter and his independent Gore Noir magazine have been helping keep horror print alive for damn near a decade! In-depth interviews, essays, photography, models and artwork are just a fraction of the allure Gore Noir presents to those that appreciate the horrific side of life. Limited edition coffin shaped issues along with full-sized, full-color offerings give gorehounds that love art and the written word, an indelible source of printed mayhem.

6. POLTERGEISTS AND PARAMOURS 

Handmade horror-themed lingerie is the name of the game over at Poltergeists and Paramours, founded by the uber-talented Ama Lea. When she isn’t photographing horror royalty for the likes of Delirium Magazine and others, she is hand sewing face masks (she donated roughly 4000 masks during the pandemic), creating custom costumes, and constantly challenging herself artistically. One of the most inspiring individuals to follow.
