Chris Aitkens is a freelance journalist from Montreal, Quebec. He started writing about music at the age of 16 for Verbicide Magazine. While interning for the Fantasia Film Festival, Chris fell in love with indie horror, and met the editors of Nightmare on Film Street.

He's a self-proclaimed "punk rock expert," demonstrating his know-how in his column Gut the Punks!
