editor’s note
I love this time of year. There’s something special about the changing of the seasons. Except when
everyone gets ill and sneezes in your face on the metro.
With Hallowe’en on the horizon, we bring you a rather scary issue of PULP. Read on… IF YOU DARE!
Mwahahahaha!
Our film nerds have been hard at work looking at the issues that surround making horror movies in
Mainland China, investigating why thrills and chills are in short supply in the domestic film industry. We
also tackle the burning question of why Chinese vampires hop.
Continuing in our mission to scare you lot witless, we wandered the streets with Newman Tours and
learned about the ghosts that haunt the dark corners of the city… FYI - there are loads of them.
We also have a bunch of track reviews (designed rather cleverly to inspire your musical collection AND
your Hallowe’en costume) and an interview with Aussie band Witch Hats, which could also provide
inspiration for a costume, I suppose. You could either dress up as the band, or wear a Witch Hat, or take
it to a meta level and dress up as the band, wearing Witch Hats.
Elsewhere, we look into the dos and don’ts of touring in China, how translations of Breaking Bad etc.
appear online within hours of airing in the US, and how the imperial Chinese literati continue to inspire
Shanghai’s artists.
And for now, I bid you goodnight. Sleep with one eye open, dear friends….
