You know what’s so exceptional about horror? When it gets you in a honestly vulnerable position, you really have no choice in whether you’re squirming in your seat or feeling mighty terrified.

Found Footage… For Real: Vintage “EVIL DEAD” Behind-The-Scenes Footage!

It might be a cliche, but there’s something magical about homemade horror filmmaking. Personally speaking, I remember running around a campground for a Video 101 assignment, camcorder in tow, filming a faux trailer for a serial killer thriller with nothing but whoever and whatever I could assemble on a Friday night in the middle of winter. […]

Stephen King’s “CELL” joins “31” at Saban Films

Over the past year, the distribution game has changed rather radically in the independent film world. While studios devote more and more resources to blockbusters and tentpole films, smaller distributors with more radical release strategies have found solid footing by betting on the strength of their output. Entities such as STX and A24 have established […]

“THE GIRL IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS” (Film Review)

As much sense as it may make to a marketing executive or producer, having the name of a horror icon attached to your film is actually somewhat of a risky proposition. By associating a film with someone who is known and beloved by genre films, expectations will understandably be raised, which could work as a […]

On Set: Mickey Keating’s Psychological Creepfest “DARLING”

Walking toward the Harlem townhouse serving as the key location of DARLING, your faithful Fango correspondent spots a couple of cops hanging around the front steps. It seems odd that such a small independent shoot would need this kind of security—and then it turns out that the uniformed lawmen are actually executive producer Larry Fessenden […]

Stream to Scream: “HE NEVER DIED”

There’s something effortlessly refreshing about films that confidently reside in their own universe. By offering characters with established history, rapport, and relationships, watching their stories unfold has an immersive quality that more grounded, gritty fare just cannot capture. Therefore, when something like HE NEVER DIED comes around and offers up a supernatural horror comedy that […]

In the years since the FANGORIA Weekend of Horrors has laid dormant, the world of fan conventions has evolved into an entirely different beast. Yet among the Comic-Cons and Walker-Stalker’s of the world, few horror conventions have earned the esteemed reputation of Texas Frightmare Weekend, now in their 11th year as the Southwest’s Premiere Horror […]

“MY BEST FRIEND’S EXORCISM” (Book Review)

Though we are steeped deep in gloriously gonzo unorthodoxy for more than 100 pages before the musclebound 20something self-described practitioner of “puke and rebuke” de-demonization turns up in Grady Hendrix’s MY BEST FRIEND’S EXORCISM, it is nonetheless hilarious just how absurdly far from the Father Merrin tree the character falls.

FANGORIA Podcast Network: “THE GIRLS IN THE BACK ROW” Ask “WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?”

In some horror films, the line between life imitating art and vice versa is a definitively thin one, especially once you go back to the era of silver screen scare fare. With that in mind, it should be no surprise that the final installment of their “March Madness” series sees THE GIRLS IN THE BACK […]

FANGO Flashback: “LAKE MUNGO”

While much can be said about the stylistic and tonal differences between faux-doc horror and found footage, the most prominent difference between the subgenres is the illusion of transparency. As any genre fan can tell you, found footage does its damnedest to downplay transparency, playing everything mostly straight-faced and therefore crafting many of the tired, […]
