FANGORIA® HORROR MOVIES AND TV

If you’ve seen the brilliant CABIN IN THE WOODS (out now on DVD and Blu-ray), you’ve now no doubt “discovered the secret” that at heart, the film is essentially a reaffirmation; a true monument to horror and the way it affects and even betters our lives.

Fango continues its chat (begun here) with screenwriter-turned-anthology-editor Eric Miller, whose HELL COMES TO HOLLYWOOD (out now from Big Time Books) is an omnibus collecting tales of terror from Tinseltown veterans.

Edited by Eric Miller, HELL COMES TO HOLLYWOOD (out now from Big Time Books) is an anthology of short horror fiction stories revolving around the common theme of being set in Tinseltown. Many of the tales parody the infamous side of LA: the questionable morals, obsession with youth, what Paul J. Salamoff describes as “hedonism run amuck” in his story “Bad Fix,” and as Charles Austin Muir calls it in “Alone and Palely Loitering,” the “world of blonde, vacuous heiresses and their abdominal-obsessed male counterparts.” The book unapologetically satirizes Old Hollywood, New Hollywood and everything in between.

For many, [REC] represents a real landmark in found footage. The original film was such a fresh and terrifying experience it became one of my favorites of that year. The third installment, [REC] 3: GENESIS is now available on VOD from distributor Magnet Releasing, and FANGORIA had a chance to catch up with the star of the film, Leticia Dolera, and talk about this new and very different chapter in the series’ universe.

With the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival upon us, FANGORIA readers have plenty to get excited about. From the delirium of BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO, to the ballistic omnibus THE ABCs OF DEATH; from Rob Zombie’s THE LORDS OF SALEM to JT Petty’s THE HELLBENDERS; from THE SHINING doc ROOM 237 to the sexually bent THALE, terror is a major presence at the fest.

With her 20th birthday arriving next month, Emily Hagins has only a little while longer to enjoy (or endure) the label of “teen filmmaker.” She has by now earned the simple designation of filmmaker, with three features (all horror-oriented) under her belt, including today’s DVD/Blu-ray release, the vampire comedy MY SUCKY TEEN ROMANCE.

Jacen Burrows has carved his name into the horror world through artwork as deranged as it is brilliant. Still a rising star, he’s come a long way in his short career and though his comic styling is as distinctive as Mike Mignola and Ben Templesmith, even these masters don't hold a candle when it comes to the sheer, no-holds barred brutality that sweep the pages of Burrows’ work. His eye for detail and large, splash pages of blood and depravity is similar to old school ultraviolent sleaze, where the harder you look, the harder you have to try to pull away.

The anthology is primed to make a big comeback, and V/H/S is at the forefront. With the time honored tradition of the omnibus meeting found footage halfway, the film offers a new perspective on a classic subgenre, with some of horror's brightest newcomers behind it all. After months of post-Sundance anticipation, the film hits VOD tomorrow, August 30 from Magnolia Pictures and Magnet Releasing. FANGORIA spoke to the myriad of filmmakers contributing to V/H/S and below, you can take in our chat with A HORRIBLE WAY TO DIE's Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett, as we talk their wraparound segment, "Tape 56," filming our whole lives and much of the criticism directed towards V/H/S and its gender roles.
