"Rue Morgue" is a Canadian magazine dedicated to covering "horror in culture and entertainment," taking its name from Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Murders in the Rue Morgue."

The magazine is based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was founded by its original editor-in-chief Rod Gudino in 1997. The magazine's current editor-in-chief, as of the December 2005 issue, is Jovanka Vuckovic. The well known "Rue Morgue" logo was created by the magazine's Art Director, Gary Pullin, and was first published on the cover of its seventh issue.

"Rue Morgue" was published every other month for a number of years, until January 2005 when the schedule changed to 11 issues per year, with the exception of February. It secured national distribution in Canada with its fourth issue, published in July 1998. It achieved distribution in the United States in January 1999. By 2006 it closed a direct disrtibution deal for Europe. "Rue Morgue"' is also available in Australia, New Zealand and Asia by import. Though it also finds its way to Mexico and Brazil (and other parts of South America too).

"Rue Morgue" covers horror in all media: films, books, websites, comic books, music, etc. Each issue includes feature stories, opinion columns, and numerous reviews. It has quickly become a leading horror magazine on the market as well as having a very healthy online presence, including weekly broadcasts of Rue Morgue Radio. "Rue Morgue" has grown a very active community among horror fans with their annual Festival of Fear in Toronto, as well as their online message board, the Rue Mortuary, and the newest umbrella, Rue Morgue Cinema, has already landed a selection at the Toronto International Film Festival with Publisher Rodrigo Gudino's first short film, "The Eyes of Edward James".
