FANGORIA #314 doesn’t hit the shelves or arrive in your mailbox till next month, but we’ve got the first peek at the covers and the full contents to share with you now! Up front is a beautiful portrait of scream star and Fango family member Debbie Rochon by Claire Oddy and Marc Schoenbach, and on the back is Mark Crow’s rendering of Vincent Price as Dr. Phibes.

Rochon tells her own story of trials and triumphs as an enduring genre star in a lengthy first-person piece, with testimonials from some of her closest cohorts. Phibes, one of Price’s most memorable villains, is celebrated in an interview with the late director Robert Fuest. In addition, we visit the sets of the historical horror epic ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER and the REPO! gang’s new THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL, and chat with more fright femmes: HALLOWEEN director Danielle Harris, turning director with AMONG FRIENDS; Danielle Ouimet, star of the cult classic DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS; and the original Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Noomi Rapace, now headlining Ridley Scott’s eagerly awaited PROMETHEUS. Plus much more; head down past the covers for the full details!
