Chris Alexander is the Toronto-based editor of Fangoria magazine and film critic with the Toronto Film Critics Association. In the past he had written for the Metro News, Rue Morgue, The Dark Side, and was the editor of Kiss: Monster, the official magazine of the rock band Kiss. Alexander also resurrected the long dormant Fangoria sister magazine Gorezone and developed a line of limited edition magazines under the "Fangoria Legends" banner. Alexander has also worked as a radio personality for AM 640 Toronto's The John Oakley Show from 2004 to 2009 and for Rue Morgue Radio from 2004 to 2007. He has composed music for several horror films and productions such as the radio drama series Fangoria's Dreadtime Stories. In 2006 Alexander participated in the Raging Boll stunt in Vancouver, boxing genre filmmaker Uwe Boll.

His 2012 film Blood for Irina won the Best Experimental Feature Film award at the 2013 PollyGrind Film Festival. Alexander has received criticism for a 2013 Fangoria article in which he wrote about his own film under the pseudonym of "Ben Cortman" without disclosing his conflict of interest. Hart D. Fisher criticized Alexander for what he saw as Alexander not " up to the responsibility" or apologizing for the action, and stated that it seriously undermined the magazine's credibility.
