Fangoria #302

March 23, 2011 Matt Desiderio Comic Book Movies, Stuff We Like Comments Off

Fangoria issue #302 hit the shelves this week, and this reader’s jaw hit the floor. There has been a lot of bad mouthing on Fangoria in the last couple years, but their most recent output should shut them haters up. They’ve added great new colums like Trash Compactor, which focuses on some serious deep cuts from the genre, and Sound Shock, covering in detail classic horror scores, soundtracks, and composers. Recent articles about personal favorites like Slithis, The Boneyard, The Twilight Zone and KISS makes me remember why Fangoria will always be my favorite magazine peroid.

Fangoria Issue #302 being a perfect example, packed cover to cover with the gory goodness we’ve come to expect. I was personally excited about interviews with Rubber’s Quentin Dupieux and the demented minds behind Hobo with a Shotgun. But with articles on Dario Argento, Sybil Danning, Wolfen, Chainsaw Sally, Gore Shriek, and a cover dedicated to James Wan’s Insidious, I’m sure there is something for fans from all walks of the genre. If that’s not enough to get you to open your wallet in these frugal times, did I mention it comes with a giant fold out poster for Argento’s Deep Red?

What are you waiting for? Pick up Fangoria #302!
