Chris Alexander is the Toronto-based editor of Fangoria magazine, a film critic with the Toronto Film Critics Association, and freelance writer for the free daily newspaper Metro News. A former writer for Rue Morgue, he also was the editor of Kiss: Monster, the official magazine of the rock band Kiss. Besides Fangoria, he currently edits their sister magazine Gorezone and the Full Moon Features film magazine Delirium. Alexander has also worked as a radio personality for AM 640 on 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.

He writes under the pen-names Ben Cortman, Janos Skorzeny and Smitty Allenby. Although this is common knowledge now, it wasn't until Chris Alexander was called out for writing under assumed names that he finally admitted to doing so. . Instead of simply apologizing for his egregious journalistic faux pas, Alexander attacked the author of the article, Dave Pace, for outing him.

His 2012 film Blood for Irina won the Best Experimental Feature Film award at the 2013 PollyGrind Film Festival.
