XX is Coming!

"1.XX
THE HYPE: The announcement of this film got us all giddy with excitement. Riding on the wave of success enjoyed by modern anthology films such as ABC's of Death and VHS, Todd Brown and Jovanka Vuckovic masterminded a new project that brings together the talents of female genre directors for a unique perspective on horror. The first of its kind, this feature will have segments helmed by Jen and Sylvia Soska (American Mary), Mary Harron (American Psycho), Jennifer Lynch (Chained) Karyn Kusama (Jennifers Body) and Jovanka Vuckovic (The Captured Bird). Acclaimed stop motion animator Sofia Carillo will be creating the wrap around story and inter-titles.

Whilst there is no pre-requisite that says female horror fans need films directed by women, or even that they should prefer them over those directed by men, female talent behind the camera is still a vastly untapped minority and its been great to see this slowly beginning to change over recent years. Argue amongst yourselves over how and why the gender of a films director might change its perspective or storytelling slant, but Scream Sirens will always champion those women that break the mould in this patriarchal industry

THE DETAILS: XYZ Films and Dark Sky Films are collaborating to produce XX but there isn't currently a release date or promotional materials available. Don't worry, we'll keep you up to date, be sure to check our weekly news pages for developments."

Appearances Are Everything in Creating Mary Mason

With a tagline like ‘Appearances Are Everything’ - everything about AMERICAN MARY had an huge emphasis on look and presentation. One of the biggest points to hit was our Mary Mason to give her an iconic look, that 1950s glam with surgically stunning attire. Scream Siren Magazine goes into the look of Katharine Isabelle as stunning Mary Mason from makeup to Enigma Arcana’s genius wardrobe in their new issue’s ‘Beyond the Screen’ style section.

”Horror Style Culture. Our mission is to focus on Independent and Foreign Horror films, women in the horror industry, events, edgy artists, killer style and “diy to die for”. We are the essential go-to source for all things horror and culture for women across this zombie infested planet. 10% of each print issue sold will be donated to charities that help women survive and succeed.”

Scream Sirens Premiere Issue featuring the Twisted Twins

It's a very special feeling when you can boast that you were there at the beginning when all the awesome started.

I recall powering up our Playstation after only having had a Sega Genesis and Super NES previously and gazing in awe. As the opening scene of FINAL FANTASY 7 graced my screen I knew this was something special. The start of something beautiful, engaging, and something that would make me goddamn proud to say that I was there, even in a small way, when it all started.

I can proudly say the same of SCREAM SIRENS, a gore~geous new magazine, that we are honored to be featured in the premiere issue of. It's made by a rare type of group, ones who actually LOVE what they're doing and the subject matter they tackle, and let's just say that when it's true love, it shows.

Above there's a little sneaky peeky at our piece inside...

...but that's a MERE appetizer. For the main dish and a full serving of awesome (as is daily recommended), scoop up the FULL ISSUE at the links below and support the start of something wonderful.
