Alternative newspaper the Oc Weekly closed today, ending a 24-year run as a leading voice of Southern California culture.
The free weekly made its farewell via Twitter, announcing that owner Duncan McIntosh Company was shuttering the publication. More than 20 editorial staffers and an unknown number of support staff were laid off. The closing continues the demise of alternative print publications across the nation, including some of its biggest names.
Oc Weekly was once a sister company to the La Weekly and the Village Voice. It was bought by Duncan McIntosh in 2016. Duncan McIntosh also ran Sea Magazine, Boating World, and once owned Editor & Publisher, which it sold two months ago.
The alternative newsweekly was founded in 1995 and claimed to reach more than a half-million readers at its peak. Its final edition came out Wednesday.
Adios Motherfuckers! Today, the day before Thanksgiving, our owner Duncan McIntosh Company has decided to shut us down.

Disgusting, or shocking, are words often used to inform the audience what awaits them in a horror film. When a film is about demon rape, lurid immediately comes to mind. However, if you have a restrained (and respected) British horror director at the helm, will the results be different? Incubus (1982) is a fascinating shocker that attempts to walk the line between classy whodunit and lascivious bloodlust.
Released in September by Artists Releasing Corporation, Incubus (or, The Incubus according to the poster) had a large budget for a horror title at the time (5.1 million Cad) and was not a draw at the box office. Reviews were mostly dismal as well, and considering the subject matter, this is not surprising. ‘Demon rape’ does not scream fun night out at the movies. However, Incubus provides many moments of terror designed with the discerning horror fiend in mind. It’s an underappreciated gem.
