As with comics zines, horror film fanzines grew from related interest within science fiction fan publications. ''Trumpet,'' edited by [[Tom Reamy]], was a 1960s SF zine that branched into horror film coverage. Alex Soma's ''Horrors of the Screen,''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/unifan2001/HotS.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091027140344/http://www.geocities.com/unifan2001/HotS.html|title=Horrors of the Screen|archive-date=27 October 2009|work=archive.org}}</ref> [[Calvin T. Beck]]'s ''Journal of Frankenstein'' (later ''[[Castle of Frankenstein]]'') and Gary Svehla's ''Gore Creatures'' were the first horror fanzines created as more serious alternatives to the popular [[Forrest J Ackerman]] 1958 magazine ''[[Famous Monsters of Filmland]].'' ''Gore Creatures'' began in 1961 and continues today as the prozine (and specialty publisher) ''Midnight Marquee.''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.midmar.com/|title=MIDNIGHT MARQUEE PRESS – BOOKS|work=midmar.com}}</ref> ''Garden Ghouls Gazette''—a 1960s horror title under the editorship of Dave Keil, then Gary Collins—was eventually headed by the late [[Frederick S. Clarke]] (1949–2000) and in 1967 became the respected journal ''[[Cinefantastique]].'' It later became a prozine under journalist-screenwriter [[Mark A. Altman]] and has continued as a webzine.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cinefantastiqueonline.com/|title=Cinefantastique: The Website with a Sense of Wonder|work=cinefantastiqueonline.com}}</ref>

Mark Frank's ''Photon''—notable for the inclusion of an 8x10 [[Photograph|photo]] in each issue—was another 1960s zine that lasted into the 1970s.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.geocities.com/unifan2001/Photon.html | title = Photon | access-date = 8 August 2012 | last = Frank | first = Mark | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091027140404/http://www.geocities.com/unifan2001/Photon.html | archive-date = 27 October 2009}}</ref> Richard Klemensen's ''[[Little Shoppe of Horrors]]'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.littleshoppeofhorrors.com/|title=Little Shoppe of Horrors|work=littleshoppeofhorrors.com}}</ref> having a particular focus on "[[Hammer Film Productions|Hammer Horrors]]", began in 1972 and is still publishing as of 2025. ''The Animation Journal'' (1964-1966) edited by Indiana natives Steve Towsley and Bill Shrock was perhaps the first fanzine devoted to the makers of stop-motion animated monsters.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.moviemags.com/main.php|title=Animation Journal|website=www.moviemags.com|language=en|access-date=2024-11-26}}</ref>

The [[Baltimore]]-based ''Black Oracle'' (1969–1978) from writer-turned-[[John Waters (filmmaker)|John Waters]] repertory member [[George Stover]] was a diminutive zine that evolved into the larger-format ''Cinemacabre.'' Stover's ''Black Oracle'' partner Bill George published his own short-lived zine ''The Late Show'' (1974–1976; with co-editor Martin Falck), and later became editor of the ''Cinefantastique'' prozine spinoff ''[[Femme Fatales (magazine)|Femme Fatales]]''. In the mid-1970s, [[North Carolina]] teenager [[Sam Irvin]] published the horror/science-fiction fanzine ''Bizarre'', which included his original interviews with UK actors and filmmakers; Irvin would later become a producer-director in his own right.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cinema.usc.edu/directories/profile.cfm?id=33692&first=&last=&title=&did=1&referer=%2Fproduction%2Ffaculty.cfm&startpage=1&startrow=31|title=School of Cinematic Arts Directory Profile – USC School of Cinematic Arts|work=usc.edu}}</ref>
