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. When he's not working graveyard shifts at the local talk-radio station, he is hosting his own weekly radio show on CJLO 1690AM called Sewer Spewer, writing for Bucketlist Music Reviews, and playing with his crappy punk band Gutser. He's a self-proclaimed "punk rock expert," demonstrating his know-how in his column Gut the Punks!

This month at Nightmare On Film Street is Hot As Hell. We’re talking all about that warm place down in the basement and all the creatures that come out of it. We’re all probably going to Hell for liking horror movies, but if you follow the advice of my friend...
