Sincere thanks for entering the Crypt...we want this to be your final "resting place" for SEX. HORROR. ROCK N' ROLL. However, it appears that some of our visitors (who are most likely foolish mortals) find that the names of our sections are perhaps a bit arcane and esoteric. Confusing, even.
So, without further ado, allow me to give all of you...

Thanks a million to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV for the fuckin' opportunity. It is clear that they appreciate the efforts of the undead, and it just goes to show you that not all mortals are foolish. Or one of the Cryptgirls may have drugged their drinks again. Who knows, and who the fuck cares? The results are what matters...
Introducing the Official Crypt Magazine Bulletin Board! Now, you the readers can finally chat with us directly via our morbid online forum. You also may find out the latest happenings in this flickering gloom. Feel free to share your thoughts about this magazine, music, and whatever else is on your sick and twisted little minds. We're waiting for you...
On the night of October 9th, 2006 in New York City, our ownReverend Charles (of 'Ask The Reverend' and leader of blackwave pioneers Dark Eden,) did an exclusive encore performance with New York industrial rock legends, Hanzel und Gretyl!
In the words of the Rev himself; "During their encore, they (Hanzel und Gretyl) did one of their older songs. Then they said they were going to have someone else sing for the next song. At that point, Loopy (vocals, lead guitar, programming) pointed to me and said, "Reverend Charles of Dark Eden, get on up here!"
Congratulations to Reverend Charles on this very ghoul and remarkable achievement! See, boils and ghouls, when you work around here, you go places. Please make a note of it.

In our Features section, we have an exclusive article about '666 A Tribute To Evil.' For those that don't know, it was a most malevolent event that took place in Hollywood, CA on 6-6-06. The main attraction for this event was the unholy matrimony of the grandson of Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey, Stanton LaVey, and his fiendish bride, our very own Cryptgirl Szandora. It also featured exclusive performances by Glenn Danzig, 45 Grave, Hank III,Cryptgirl/Promo Bitch Ugly Shyla, and more. History was made as Glenn Danzig and Dinah Cancer (of 45 Grave) have not shared a stage in almost 25 years! Plus, Mr. Danzig performed tunes that he hasn't done in many moons. Very ghoul, indeed...

So, thanks a million to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV for their efforts. I dunno who drugged their drinks to cause them to make this decision--I plead the 5th, it might have been 1 of the Cryptgirls--but we highly appreciate it nevertheless.
*ATTENTION* We're fiendishly preparing to cover the 2006 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo right here in Frightfully Fabulous Las Vega$. I personally evaluated the pre-show activities, and it appears that this year's AVN Expo will provide more hot and cold running chills than ever before. Also, expect coverage equal or greater than that of the 2005 AVN Expo. Stay tuned...and as an appetizer, I welcome you to feast your eyes on a delicious quartet of brand-new Adult DVD reviews (all titles are from DVSX) written by none other than 1 of the hardest working creeps here in the Crypt, K.K. You may read them here. In addition, we have a new Horror dvd review from our new Contributing Writer, Xenoglossia. Finally, stay tuned for an exclusive interview with goth/punk favs Bella Morte, which was conducted on a stormy nite (of course) by our long time Staff Writer, Rachel.
*NEW* Interview with Stanton LaVey, the grandson of the late Church of Satan founder Dr. Anton LaVey. In our 'Interview with...' section, of course. Cryptgirl Szandora(who just so happens to be Mr. LaVey's fiance) was also on hand for this exclusive and sinful interview. Which was conducted by our Contributing Writer (and infamous in her own right,) Lexa Vonn.You may read it here.
*ATTENTION* I'm sorry to report this, but my fellow Las Vegan, Brent Muscat (lead guitarist of the popular and genre-defining 80's glam/sleaze band Faster Pussycat) has developed mouth cancer. It was wise of him to catch this dreaded disease in its early stages, and he is in fact undergoing treatment at the present time.
Whether you like his music or not, send him your "get well soons," please. Brent's 1 of the nicest "rock stars" 1 have ever met, a great (and underrated) guitarist/songwriter, and he is deserving of your support. Cancer is no joke, and nothing to laugh about. So, put aside your "I'm too punk to do that" or "I'm too metal to do that" or "who cares about that cock-rocker?" and...
Myself and my ghoulish staff wish Brent a very speedy recovery and a second chance at a long and prosperous life.
*UPDATE* And a second chance he was granted...According to my sources, the final biopsy results for Mr. Muscat's lymph nodes came out negative. It will take 5 years to say he's 100 percent cured, but for now, he's clean. Very ghoul, and we hope to see Brent rocking the (cat) house real soon!
*ATTENTION* Boils and ghouls, we will be covering the next AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in January 2006. Until then, check out our little visit of the 2005 AVN Expo (in our Features section mentioned below-K.K. did the write up, The Pusher and I took the pics) right here in Frightfully Fabulous Las Vega$! The hottest, sleaziest, and most sinful porn stars and more under 1 roof. Speaking of which, we have over 200 photos of them in our photo album! Which means a lot of fuckin' tits and ass. Because our motto is SEX. HORROR. ROCK N' ROLL. ya know?
Check out our deadly 'News'and our exclusive advice column hosted by Dark Eden's Reverend Charles. Plus, our "links" page for more sex. horror. rock n' roll!and don't forget to sign the guestbook! Also, if you are brave enough, you may send us a letter for inclusion in our Epithetssection. We'd love (to death) to hear from you, and I usually respond to each letter personally. You may contact the undead (that's us) here.
Crypt Magazine makes it in the official 'Church of Satan' News!
Yes, you read that correctly. Apparently they like this magazine a lot. A great honor? You're goddamn right it is. They don't just report about every magazine out there. But they did this 1. We're real about this stuff, and we live and breathe it! Beware of imitators!
Fangs to the representatives of the 'Church of Satan' for spreading the word. Hail $atan!
It has come to my attention that this magazine has been, of all things, reviewed. Where? At blogcritics.org, which is self-described as a "sinister cabal of superior bloggers on music, books, film, popular culture, and technology-updated continuously."
Authored by (ir) regular contibutor, Chris Kent, it is a terror-ific read. We are pleased that someone took the time to honor us and it comes with my personal recommendation. So, what the fuck are you waiting for? Read this blood-chilling article at: http://www.blogcritics.org/archives/2004/06/29/210321.php
Fangs to Mr. Kent and blogcritics.org.

*CONTEST* Hello boils and ghouls! Enter to win an autographed copy of 'Welcome 2 My Nightmare' by the man himself, ALICE COOPER! The runner up winner will receive a non-autographed copy of the same album. But first, you must answer the following question correctly, and the first person to do so wins the autographed copy! The second person to do so wins the plain jane copy (but still a great prize.) SO, here is our challenging trivia question for you: Alice has worked with LOTS of different musicians over the years, but in 1989 he teamed up with Tommy Bass & Stanley Eisen to form a supergroup... What were they called?
