FANGORIA #320 doesn’t hit the shelves or arrive in your mailbox till next month, but we’ve got the first peek at the the full contents and the cover—and it’s a real scream.

Welcoming you to this issue is a terrified child from MAMA, the new Guillermo del Toro production from up-and-coming director Andres Muschietti that we’re really excited about; we’ve got both a set-visit story and an exclusive interview with star Jessica Chastain. We’ve got words with lots of other ladies of fear too: Italian-horror legends Barbara Steele and Catriona MacColl, FRIDAY THE 13TH heroine Adrienne King and eccentric veteran Karen Black. Then there’s a preview of the eagerly awaited video game ALIENS: COLONIAL MARINES; a Makeup FX Lab on the transformation of Anthony Hopkins in HITCHCOCK; a chat with outrageous Japanese director Noboru Iguchi; interviews with the creators and stars of the trippy indie chiller RESOLUTION and the zombie rom-com WARM BODIES; and lots more. Head down past the cover for the full details!

GUTS

INTERVIEW: BARBARA STEELE All hail the still-reigning queen of Italian horror!

INTERVIEW: CATRIONA MacCOLL Lucio Fulci’s favorite actress now takes part in a new twist on vampirism.

INTERVIEW: ADRIENNE KING She has left her unlucky days following “Friday the 13th” behind her to relaunch her fright career.

INTERVIEW: NOBORU IGUCHI Be careful if you consume “Dead Sushi”—you might wind up with a case of “Zombie Ass.”

PREVIEW: “ALIENS: COLONIAL MARINES” Blowing away xenomorphs at home has never been this much fun.

MAKEUP FX LAB: “HITCHCOCK” Howard Berger shows you how a legendary actor became a legendary director. Plus: James D’Arcy on playing Anthony Perkins.

ON SET: “MAMA” Guillermo del Toro presents a domestic terror tale that’s full of maternal spirit.

INTERVIEW: JESSICA CHASTAIN Having flirted with the genre before, she now dives headfirst into the realm of “Mama.”

PREVIEW: “SOUTH TEXAS BLUES,” PART EIGHT More of our advance peek at Christopher P. Garetano’s “Chainsaw” comic.

INTERVIEW: KAREN BLACK Her takes on acting, the horror genre and other subjects are as unique as her performances.

RETROSPECTIVE: “THE LEGEND OF LIZZIE BORDEN” Back when true-crime TV was artful, the notorious case got a full-blooded dramatization.

PREVIEW: “RESOLUTION” Prepare for a very different cabin-in-the-woods saga that’ll truly mess with your head.

FEATURE: “MAN-THING,” PART ONE Gone (for the moment) but not forgotten, he was a memorable Marvel monster.

PREVIEW: “SPARTACUS: WAR OF THE DAMNED” When in Rome, he continues to kill like the Romans do.

PREVIEW: “WARM BODIES” The director and star wanted their zombie opus to be more than “Twilight” of the dead.

LIFE IN THE BOX: “HELLRAISER: DEADER” and “HELLRAISER: HELLWORLD” As the budgets got lower, Doug Bradley’s collaborators made his Pinhead gigs worthwhile.

INTERVIEW: GRAHAM HUMPHREYS In a country that has often clamped down on horror, his poster illustrations are irrepressible.

INTERVIEW: WILLIAM McNAMARA His career began as the fat lady sang, playing a victim in Dario Argento’s “Opera.”
