What's with the name? There is much speculation on the name of the publication. Some might think that Eighteen is taking a shot at bubble-gum teen magazines such as 16 and Seventeen. Others might think it has something to do with the Alice Cooper song of the same name. In reality, the reason for calling this publication Eighteen is for the simple reason that it is a spin-off of XYZed Magazine Issue #18. The issue of the long-running magazine just happened to be on the horror genre. The issue was very popular and there was so much more information that we weren't able to use in its limited space. Thus, a new publication was born.
