FANGORIA #315 doesn’t hit the shelves or arrive in your mailbox till next month, but we’ve got the first peek at the cover and the full contents to share with you now! It’s a jam-packed issue celebrating horror past and present, on the big screen and small.

Up front is an image from TWIN PEAKS, the David Lynch series that changed TV for the darker forever. We’ve got interviews with actress Sheryl Lee, whose ill-fated Laura Palmer drove the show’s mysteries, and genre vet Ray Wise, who played her possessed/murderous dad. The issue also contains chats with the creators of the paranormal thrillers RED LIGHTS and THE AWAKENING, the horror/black comedy SOME GUY WHO KILLS PEOPLE and the torturously controversial THE BUNNY GAME; a preview of the new invasion of MARS ATTACKS; looks back at JAWS with screenwriter Carl Gottlieb, THE EXORCIST with star Ellen Burstyn and VISITING HOURS with director Jean-Claude Lord; a sit-down with Fango fave Bill Moseley on his new films; and much more. Head down past the cover for the full details!
