Any red-blooded male, or, for that matter, any monster who craves red blood, does not need MAXIM magazine's content explained to them. Loaded with high-octane testosterone, pages virtually ripple with muscular male-infused imagery on nearly every page . . . and the girls stop just short from baring it all -- which only further proves the axiom that it makes them even sexier.
Once in a while, MAXIM will come up with something of interest for monster fans, usually around Halloween. Take their October issue, for instance. We have already seen in an earlier MONSTER MAGAZINE WORLD post a spicy pictorial from the same issue of Lauren Cohan from the hit series, THE WALKING DEAD. Also in this issue, another woman, Stephanie Radman, writes about the 30 scariest horror films in the article, The Maxim Horror Movie Awards. The earliest film selected is 1972's Wes Craven gut-wrencher, THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. The balance are mostly from the 90's through the New Millennium. But, Miss Radman promises that these 30 are the "scariest, freakiest, most effed-up flicks ever made"! I actually agreed with most of her picks. And the writing is lively and humorous. Well done, Stephanie!
When she's not being chased by or killing zombies, Lauren Cohan who plays Maggie Greene in THE WALKING DEAD, hangs around looking pretty doggone hot. Blessed with a touch of that "girl next door" look that PLAYBOY so carefully concocted it's no wonder the zombies chase after her.
In the October 2013 issue of MAXIM magazine, Cohan is featured in a photo-interview. An American who was raised in the UK, she adopts a soft southern drawl for her role as a farm girl on the show whose idyllic life is turned upside down by the sudden invasion of zombies who are spreading like a disease over a post-apocalyptic world.
So far, her character has survived a few seasons. Let's hope she makes it for at least a few more.
When watching our favorite monster movie, it may not have occurred to many of us to consider exactly what scares the filmmaker themselves.
Fearless is a relative and frequently misused term and I can't believe that any horror filmmaker doesn't have at least one movie in mind that has scared the beejeezus out of them.
Well, it turns out that a lot of them not only can cite one movie that scared them, but several.
In the October issue of the terminally hip men's magazine, MAXIM, a half-dozen or so horror film directors and personalities weigh in with a list of their most-feared creature features. Some of the answers will surprise you.
