FANGORIA #311 doesn’t hit the shelves or arrive in your mailbox till next month, but we’ve got the first peek at the cover—which sports another new look for the mag—and the complete contents lineup to share with you now!

This issue sports our first (almost) all black-and-white cover, in honor of a major retrospective interview with genre legend Roger Corman within its pages. Also part of the package are part two of our words with Nicolas Cage (in which, yes, he discusses the WICKER MAN remake); chats with the directors of the one-take terror trip SILENT HOUSE, the indie knockouts RABIES and ABSENTIA and the WWII demonfest THE DEVIL’S ROCK; a talk with Seth Grahame-Smith, the author who invented the modern literary horror mashup, on his scripting chores for DARK SHADOWS and ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER; a look back at MATINEE with Joe Dante and Dick Miller; and much more. Head down past the cover for the full details!

PREVIEW: “ABSENTIA” The quiet moments are the most frightening when a missing-person case leads to dark discoveries.

PREVIEW: “THE DEVIL’S ROCK” The latest supernatural WWII saga busts out guns, gore and a naked red demoness.

PREVIEW: “SILENT HOUSE” There’s no escape from the menace—or the camera’s gaze—in Chris Kentis and Laura Lau’s one-take wonder.
