FANGORIA #300

A slew of transitional kinks and bugs have been and continue to be worked out in progression at Fango; now reception has been overwhelming for February's issue, which reads more like a reference book than magazine. The 300th issue offers up a distinctly unique tricentennial, with the cover going decidedly retro for the occasion. In it you'll find my words on "Hatchet" and "The Last Wave," along with the rest of the staff's on some of the most obscure and upstanding genre works of the century. Many of horror's most prolific actors and filmmakers muse on their own personal favorites as well, giving insights into their art and inner-fan.


"This is a kind of reference guide to not only FANGORIA's storied history, but the history of dark cinema full stop, penned not from a stuffy know-it-all academic perspective but from the point of view of individuals who fell in love with horror when they were young, have devoted their lives to all things weird and wonderful and have never, ever felt any class of shame when flying their saturated, garish flags."
