ABOUT US
For the outsiders, by the outsiders
Reanimating the corpses of 70s and 80s horror zines, Phantasmag is a biannual print publication that centres queer and female perspectives. A cabinet of curiosities, the magazine explores horror in its many forms: in addition to film and television, we spotlight everything from fashion to history, art, music, and more.
Based out of London, we are dedicated to uniting queer horror lovers across the globe.

THE PHANTASMAG TEAM
Lana Thorn (she/they) - Editor-in-Chief
I’m a London-based writer, researcher, and artist. Phantasmag is my brainchild, born out of a lifelong obsession with horror and death.
Alex Secilmis (he/him) - Senior Editor
I’m a writer, film composer, and academic based out of Switzerland. I love movies and music (and horror, of course). With an MA in Film Studies, I specialise in nostalgia and intertextuality in American popular media.
Jack Rogers (he/him) - Graphic Designer
I’m a graphic designer based just outside of London, I usually work within the music industry creating merch designs, album layouts, and more, and have been lucky enough to work with some of the world’s biggest bands & brands including Green Day, Paramore, Universal Music, Dropdead clothing, and more.
Dr. Heather O. Petrocelli (they/them) - Editor-at-Large
I’m a film critic, writer, and researcher who works with transdiscplinary methods across film studies, queer theory, and public history. I’m especially passionate about engaging with and making visible queer stories and experiences. Reach out to me @queerforfear on Bluesky or IG for horror film recommendations.
