Gullidge became a fan of horror at the age of 12 after seeing the movie Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966) on BBC1. He dedicated the magazine to the entire horror genre and selected for its name the Celtic word meaning festival of the dead. The zine includes news, reviews, comics, original artwork, and articles. In total, 50 issues were printed until the magazine folded in the 1990s.
