DARK OZ is the publisher of DECAY and Retro Sci-Fi Tales - Australian anthology comic books, featuring over 150 creators so far. Every issue is a showcase of the incredible talent Australia has to offer. DECAY is a Mature Readers horror anthology, with 23 issues out so far.

ators and new emerging talents. Many of Australia's top creators have worked on these comics, along with a few international guests too. DECAY often features stories of the sexy Vampire "Sisters" and zombie stories set in the "OZ ZOMBIE" universe. But there are many other horror tales in every genre you can imagine. All stories in DECAY are short self-contained one-off stories, meaning you can enjoy reading any issue alone, while Retro Sci-Fi Tales now has a couple ongoing stories.

Seriously GREAT night last night, for all who braved the weather.

Absolutely LOVED seeing 'The Creature from the Black Lagoon' on the BIG screen.
AND seeing the DARK OZ advert, for the Bonfire Horror Club magazine, on the BIG screen too.

Photos of the DARK OZ table here taken just after set-up, before the crowds rolled in. More sales last night, on a 'quiet' night, compared to more hectic/chaotic crowds for busier sessions/movies (when it's sometimes too packed for people to move and browse).

Just wanted to apologise for packing up early (I was out of there by 8:45pm), I totally forgot it was a 9pm movie instead of the regular 8:30pm movies.
I will have the BONFIRE HORROR CLUB Souvenir Cinema Programme available at the next movie - CHILD'S PLAY on Fri 29-Aug - I'll see you all there at the Palace Nova Cinemas - The Bonfire Horror Club presents: Child's Play

Retro Sci-Fi Tales #11 had 4 variant covers - A, B, C, D - each with unique front AND back covers (NOTE - cover D was a bumper Limited Edition variant with 8 extra pages containing ALL of the covers inside the one issue).

THE SHROUDS - from legendary director David Cronenberg

WIN a double in-season pass - valid Australia wide

PRIZE - x10 in season admit two e-tickets
NOTE - this is a limited release, please check your local cinema for session times.

THE SHROUDS - in cinemas from 3-July-2025 (through Rialto Distribution)

Short synopsis:
In THE SHROUDS, a grieving tech visionary creates a burial shroud that allows loved ones to monitor the decomposition process. But when several graves are vandalised, he’s pulled into a dark investigation that blurs the lines between grief, obsession, and reality.

To WIN just answer this easy question (answer in the comments below this original post): which of the 4 upcoming DARK OZ Kickstarter projects are you looking forward to the most? [HINT - see previous post, or just head online to Kickstarter and search for DARREN KOZIOL (the DARK OZ creator)]

Winners will be drawn Tuesday night 1-July
NOTE - beware of SCAMS if anyone mimics this page and contacts you (their page will be fake, without the history or followers of the real 'DECAY horror comic' page)

THE SHROUDS – Full Synopsis
From legendary director David Cronenberg comes The Shrouds — his most intimate and personal work to date — starring Vincent Cassel, Diane Kruger, and Guy Pearce. Set in a disturbingly calm near-future, the story follows Karsh (Cassel), a tech entrepreneur who has invented a radical new system called The Shrouds: software that enables grieving families to watch the physical deterioration of their loved ones via cameras installed in specially designed coffins.

Four years after losing his wife Becca (Kruger) to cancer, Karsh is still haunted by grief and has begun a complex relationship with her sister, Terry (also Kruger). When several graves using his technology are desecrated and the coffin camera feeds are mysteriously encrypted, Karsh's company faces a crisis — and his personal connection to his wife is severed. Determined to find the culprit, Karsh embarks on an investigation that reveals a disturbing and far-reaching conspiracy.

Written in the wake of his own personal loss, The Shrouds is a meditation on mourning and mortality, blending Cronenberg’s signature mix of dread, intelligence, and dark humour in a chilling exploration of the boundaries between the physical and the digital, the finite and the eternal. In cinemas July 3.
