Surprise! (Ok, not really) Killer android “It” girl M3GAN is our January newsstand cover. No-handed cartwheeling her way into our hearts and onto store shelves. Our January newsstand edition will be available at Barnes & Noble and specialty shops this January or you pre-order this single issue right here.
For M3GAN’s cover debut, we went right to her (on-screen) creator, Allison Williams, as well as the FX team who brought 2023’s “It” girl to life. Other new releases in the mag include Jason Eisener’s Kids Vs. Aliens, Emily Hagins’ Sorry About the Demon and Roxanne Benjamin’s There’s Something Wrong with the Children. On the international front, we’ve got Mike Gingold reporting on the highly anticipated Huesera: The Bone Woman and Attachment!
If FX is your thing, makeup legend Ve Neill talks to the great Greg Cannom about his classic work on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and Chainsaw Award winner Christopher Nelson opens up his iPhone and spoils the hell out Halloween Ends with some horrific, previously unseen makeup FX images.
Elsewhere in the mag, Richard Newby talks the history and impact of plant-based horror, and Meredith Borders gets into minute detail about the creepy subgenre of dollhouse horror.
Illustrated by the great Gary Pullin, we go down the rabbit hole with Amanda Reyes to learn how the legendary Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III trailer came to be. (And when we saw how excited Mr. Pullin was to tackle this illustration, we invited him to talk about his all-time favorite horror trailers!)
All this, plus Barbara Crampton, Stephen Graham Jones, and Cocaine Bear too. 2023 is gonna be a RIDE, and Fango’s got your front-row seat.
