The pieces of FANGORIA #302 interweave with a distinct kinship. The issue sees director James Wan sharing his thoughts on his filmography, to which in April he adds INSIDIOUS, he and co-writer Leigh Whannell's haunted house opus. That the film - as well as his flawed but atmospheric DEAD SILENCE before it - chalks up its influence to the works of Argento and Mario Bava is no surprise; giallo icon Luigi Cozzi later sheds light on said works through his own experiences with Argento, contributing a rare expose on their collaborative career.
Current releases are also given extensive coverage (SCREAM 4, HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN and the groundbreaking RUBBER), plus retrospectives including a continuation of Mike Wadleigh's WOLFEN interview, a storied account of the German extreme gore movement of the late '80s and a chat with Sybil Danning, and my words on GRIM, one of the latest DVD releases from Troma.
