If it’s true that we’re in a new golden age of horror (spoiler: it is true), 2024 shows no signs of that golden age slowing down, as evidenced in the pages — and the cover — of FANGORIA #22!
After decades of game-changing work in horror, both as a writer/director and as the godfather of an entire indie genre movement, Larry Fessenden (Habit, Depraved) takes his rightful place on the cover of FANGORIA with his new werewolf thriller Blackout. Larry’s lycanthropic lead Alex Hurt (son of the late William Hurt) wolfs out for our newsstand cover, which hits shelves January 17.
To celebrate this genre legend’s macabre milestone (and a film we think Fango readers will love), we’ve sent Michael Gingold to the set of Blackout for an exclusive report. We’ve also got a moving tribute to Larry from his colleagues, via Fessenden’s friend and collaborator Barbara Crampton.
Elsewhere in the mag: Fessenden protege Jenn Wexler unleashes her sophomore feature The Sacrifice Game (starring Aladdin’s Mena Massoud); Fango faves the Adams Family deliver their Depression-era horror Where the Devil Roams; the regional slasher film, that bygone staple of the horror genre, returns in the form of Erik Bloomquist’s Founders Day; and we visit the set of the recently controversial It’s A Wonderful Knife.
Also in this issue: Oscar winner and Jennifer’s Body screenwriter Diablo Cody delves into her latest work, Lisa Frankenstein; director Demián Rugna reveals some grisly FX secrets from his hit film When Evil Lurks; we find Alex Winter buried under a mountain of prosthetics on the set of Destroy All Neighbors; Universal’s Night Swim will make you afraid of swimming pools; and the Best Deaths of 2023 will have you both gagged and gagging.
If you’re looking to look backward, author Stephen Graham Jones revisits Alien and The Terminator through a slasher lens, and we’re proud to announce: The Video Eye of the Son of Dr. Cyclops…
