The name of the movie is based on cheap fiction magazines from 1900-1950. The term “pulp” refers to the cheap wood pulp paper on which the magazines were printed. Every magazine costed 10-15 cents.
I read about it after I saw the movie “Great Gatsby” which take place at the glowing 20’s of the 20th century.
I wanted to restore one of the magazine that posted romans and crimes stories called ‘Dime Mystery Magazine’ and put on the cover movies I thought that fit.
