Do fanzines still exist?

I've been wondering about this for sometime.I would imagine the internet would have rendered them obsolete.There was one i used to read in the 90's called Ohh!My brain hurts! which was a music and Bmovie zine and there were numerous others.Anyone have any memories of particular zines?

I still write for a print fanzine. It's been running since 1990 and is published every two months. It's only circulated to its members.
