Features

30 Renovation Hauntings (cover story)
Despite a plethora of television programmes offering house makeovers or suggesting we undertake major home improvements, Peter A McCue advises that even modest DIY projects can sometimes unleash ghostly phenomena...

36 Holy Terrors
What happens when a lifelong horror fan becomes a Christian? Does he hide his copy of The Exorcist and burn all his HP Lovecraft books? Reverend Peter Laws confesses his cinematic sins and wonders whether horror and the Church have a shared history that means theology can be found in the bloodiest of places...

42 Mischief Night
Before the days of a commercialised and Americanised Hallowe'en, with its trick-or-treaters, there was an older autumnal tradition of licensed bad behavior. Chris & Karen Allen explore the mysteries and marvels of Mischief Night.

46 The Greatest Ghoul on Earth?
On the 200th anniversary of the death of the 'World's Greatest Showman', Michael J Bielawa offers a ghoulish solution to a mystery that followed PT Barnum into (and nearly out of) his grave.
