About
SCARS Magazine is published monthly out of Rhode Island. We are a completely independent horror magazine. Love supporting independent horror and music? It’s time to support independent publishing!
We first published in 2006, gaining momentum in 2007 with our third issue – the infamous Hatchet issue, breaking Adam Green’s indie monster to the world. Since then we’ve grown and morphed, carving a reputation as a horror mag ahead of the curve, with an eye for the next big indie. In 2008, we made SCARS available to every state in the country (even Puerto Rico), carrying it in Borders and Barnes and Nobles nationwide. With our fanbase now in place, we’ve moved primarily to the net, allowing us to give you SCARS when you want ‘em. We’re also available in a number of indie retailers throughout New England and California.
While SCARS loves the little guy, we’re not indie snobs – we work hard to bring readers the latest from studio projects, and give breaking content from partnerships with Universal, AfterDark, Lionsgate, Paramount, and more. SCARS is also the area go-to for advanced horor, action, and Sci-fi screenings in Rhode Island and Boston.
We used to carry the tagline, “Horror that leaves marks,” but realized quickly the limits that title presented, changing it to, “The magazine that leaves marks.” SCARS covers more than horror movies. We promote anything which may fall under the umbrella of alternative or dark culture, be it a store, artist, website, fashion trend, band, or a cult personality.
