ASKED QUESTIONS
Q.
What is this Strange Thing about?
Strange
Things Are Happening is a celebration of pop culture...
but not just any pop culture. We're into the stuff that is generally
dismissed by the mainstream - that includes horror, exploitation,
cult, adult, underground and arthouse movies; comic books; pulp
fiction, trashy novels, lurid paperbacks and sleazy hardcovers;
strippers, burlesque acts and performance art; fetish clubs,
rock 'n' roll shows, sexpos and festivals; exotic booze; weird
toys; trashy novelties; religious artifacts... and just about
anything else that catches our attention. We impose no limits
on ourselves or others.
Q.
Who are you?
Strange
Things Are Happening is brought to you by the people
responsible for legendary magazines Sheer Filth,
Divinity and Sexadelic, as
well as websites Noise Culture and Striporama.
This site is a little bit of all those past publications and
beyond. STAH contributors have worked on books
and magazines as varied as Penthouse, Bizarre,
Flesh and Blood, Headpress,
Loaded, Rapid Eye, Forum,
Knave, Skin Two, Mayfair,
Desire, Sky magazine, And
Cream, Zero Tolerance and more, as
well as working on DVD and CD projects for the likes of Blue
Underground, Anchor Bay, Popshot and others. We also make movies,
run events and do design work on the side.
Q.
How can I join in?
Writers
are always welcome. If you think you have something we'd like,
send it in. You won't get paid, but you knew that, right? But
you might be able to use our name to get free stuff!
Q.
I want to send you our fine products to review. How?
Email
us and we'll get right back to you with details of where to
send stuff.
Q:
Why can't I comment on your reviews, news etc?
While we're sure that YOU are a splendid individual who engages
in reasoned, sensible debate and always respects the views of
others, we also know that the internet is full of fuckwitted
idiots who like nothing better than to start arguments, issue
threats and generally bahev like hard men from the safety of
their computer desks. We have no time for that sort of thing,
or for various scammers posting dodgy likes to fake Viagra and
so on. If you want to comment, write to us. We might even write
back. And if enough of you actually can be bothered, we might
even set up an old-school letters page!
Q.
You've used an image we own, and we object.
Let
us know, preferably with some evidence so we know you're not
just jerking us around, and we'll remove it. All images included
here are done so as publicity and under fair use terms, so we
won't be removing any image connected with a review. But if
you think a gallery image on this free website is eating into
your income, we'll understand. We know you need the money.
Q.
Your information is wrong / you've spelt things incorrectly
/ a link doesn't work.
Fine,
let us know and we'll try to fix it.
Q.
I want you to have a mobile friendly version of the site.
So
do we.
Q.
I want to exchange links.
So
do we. We'll trade like for like - a text link for a text link,
a banner for a banner. You can find our banners here.
Q.
I want to take out paid advertising.
Good.
Contact us and we'll send you our very cheap rates.
