In what is becoming an annual celebration on the Juxtapoz calendar, October is our special Halloween issue. And this year, we have asked Alex Pardee to curate every page. Kicking off with a very special, custom cover, Alex invited Nychos, Sam Kieth, Jon Way$hack, Allison Sommers, Edmund McMillen, Dave Correia, Jhonen Vasquez, Skinner, L'Amour Supreme, Chloe Rice...

Alex Pardee is curating our October 2012 Halloween issue. Dave Correia is an artist you are going to see interviewed in said issue. Dave has a show opening tonight, August 2, at FIFTY24PDX in Portland. Alex tells us, "Contrary to what might hunt you down in your nightmares after seeing some of his work, Zerofriends' own Dave Correia isn't a scary dude. Fortunately for our eyeballs, however, his new collection of paintings is still frighteningly beautiful." Preview after the jump . . .

Alex Pardee and Dave Correia are in Salt lake City, Utah at the moment, prepping their collaborative exhibition at Blonde Grizzly Gallery. As Alex told us, "Coinciding with the festival of the dancing sun or whatever is going on in them there mountains in Utah, Dave Correia and myself will be taking over our favorite gallery in Salt Lake City." The show opens Friday, January 20.
