Each Halloween season, the subways in New York City are adorned with nightmares. They’re ever changing, but the residents know what it means: one of the city’s most lauded haunts is returning. And this year, with creator Timothy Haskell reluctantly giving in to his audience’s blood thirst, it sounds like Nightmare is at its most vicious yet. FANGORIA spoke with Haskell about his already hot button theme of serial killers, as well as the incredible gallery of murder history accompanying the 2012 chapter.

Back when Joe Dante first rolled cameras on THE HOLE in late 2008, it was at the forefront of a new wave of 3D production that would soon become a staple of fantasy/horror filmmaking. Unfortunately, bad luck consigned the film to unseen status in the U.S. (though it did open overseas) until now, and Dante spoke to Fango on the eve of its theatrical and disc release.

While Robert E. Howard’s Conan novels have fascinated millions of readers, not all his fans are aware that the legendary author also created, in 1928, another dark hero: Solomon Kane. A 16th-century Puritan, Kane is a somber man who wanders the Earth with no apparent goal other than to battle evil in all its forms, and he makes his big-screen debut in a film currently on VOD and hitting theaters this Friday, September 28.

Barry Bostwick became part of an enduring cult sensation when he acted, sang and danced through THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, then won notice on TV for playing historical personages like George Washington. Now he’s appearing in a presidential role that bids to develop a cult of its own: the over-the-top horror/comedy FDR: AMERICAN BADASS.

If there’s a message to be gleaned from actress Kristen Connolly’s two horror films this year, it’s that staying home is the safest course of action. Her trip to THE CABIN IN THE WOODS leads her to face to 57 varieties of monstrous threat, while a vacation to THE BAY puts her in the path of parasitical infection.

After a three-year delay during which its producing studio MGM went bankrupt and Lionsgate stepped in to acquire it, THE CABIN IN THE WOODS finally hit theaters earlier this year and proved to be well worth the wait. With the movie out this week on DVD and Blu-ray, Fango spoke to director/co-scripter Drew Goddard about constructing a horror homage that also stands spectacularly on its own.

A popular sentiment: Limitations fuel creativity. In cinema, it’s often a question of budget, or producer notes, or a list of things you can’t do that ultimately brings out what you will do to be marveled at.
