NIGHT TERROR MAGAZINE: Issue 15, Out Now!

Our 15th issue, Idle Hands: The Artist Issue is live!

IT’S ALIVE!!! Our August Artist Issue has officially clawed its way into the world!

Night Terror Magazine is a thought-daughter of a publication, and a lot of what we do here is “art appreciation and theory.” (Please tell me someone got my School of Rock reference here.) Whether through the written word, the moving picture, or the tangible art forms, the horror art community is vast, and artists are constantly pushing the boundaries of the genre to build worlds and express the human condition. 

We’ve been lucky enough to feature multiple artists to interview–something that’s become a bit of a tradition for this issue, and we feel truly honored to have their personal and heartfelt  responses.  We respect their vulnerability immensely, and we can’t thank them enough for sharing their work with us. 

This vulnerability and heart are evidence of something that can’t be duplicated with data. In an era where artists of all kinds are trying to prove their worth against AI, this issue is a testament as to why AI could never truly replace the human artist and why the results will never be the same. AI doesn’t have a story to contextualize the art. It can’t explain to you why its process is what it is, why the art form was the best fit for the message, or why it conveyed an image one way over another. The computer only has the data you’ve given it, nothing more.

During these times, empathy is our biggest weapon against the violence being perpetrated against so many globally, and art is our most effective communicator of these stories. We need to embrace the reality that art is impossible without human emotion and experience. The moment we start to believe differently, we lose the language of the revolution.

All our love,

The Scream Team
