HEY, EVERYBODY! I'M IN FANGO!

Posted by 1001web



The newest issue of FANGORIA (#313) has hit the stands. As usual, it's packed with loads of chewy monster goodness, including their views on the upcoming DARK SHADOWS flick (I'm still bummed about Joanathan Frid's passing, aren't you?). There's also tons of new movie reviews, interviews, as well as regular columns by the most fetching Debbie Rochon and the most fearsome Bert I. Gordon.


But, easily the coolest thing of all in FANGO #313 is a letter by a certain monster magazine blogger. And if that's not enough to get you to the nearest brick and mortar comic shop or book establishment to pick up a copy, then your zombie shamble is listing a little too far to the left, pal!

Here's the lineup of contents:

GUTS
FEATURE: “THE THEATRE BIZARRE” The shock omnibus has literally knocked out international audiences.
INTERVIEW: JENNY AGUTTER Love meant never having to say you’re furry for the “American Werewolf in London” actress.
ON SET: “MOTHER’S DAY” The setting is more civilized in this remake, but what goes on inside it sure isn’t.
PREVIEW: “THE RAVEN” Everyone loves digging into Edgar Allan Poe, especially John Cusack, playing the author as detective.
RETROSPECTIVE: “GOTHIC,” PART TWO Actor Julian Sands was willingly swept away into Ken Russell’s cinematic dementia.
INTERVIEW: MARIE WALLACE She wore many faces—most of them crazed—as she took multiple roles in TV’s “Dark Shadows.”
PREVIEW: “DARK SHADOWS”: HELENA BONHAM CARTER Her on- and offscreen partnership with Tim Burton now leads her to Collinwood.
PREVIEW: “SOUTH TEXAS BLUES,” PART FOUR More of our advance peek at Christopher P. Garetano’s “Chainsaw” comic.
PREVIEW: “DARK SHADOWS”: TIM BURTON He’s done ghosts, apes and a headless horseman, so it’s about time he tackled vampires.
PREVIEW: “DARK SHADOWS”: RICHARD D. ZANUCK A producing career highlighted by “Jaws” now sees him entering the world of fangs.
PREVIEW: “TERROR OF DRACULA” As the title suggests, this grassroots feature wants to put the fear back into bloodsucking.
INTERVIEW: RONNIE SCRIBNER As a junior “ ’Salem’s Lot” ghoul, he elicited TV terror before his teens.
PREVIEW: “TALES OF POE” Indie filmmakers Bart Mastronardi and Alan Rowe Kelly wring new twists on 19th-century stories.
DIARY OF THE DEB: “WON TON BABY!” In a Chinese restaurant, Debbie discovers some serious bad taste.
PREVIEW: “THE WICKER TREE” Robin Hardy returns to pagan territory, but this is no mere rehash of “The Wicker Man.”
INTERVIEW: PATTY McCORMACK Her perfectly evil child in “The Bad Seed” was a model for decades of bad kids to follow.
LIFE IN THE BOX: “HELLRAISER” The first installment of a multipart chat with Doug Bradley recalls his first Cenobite of Clive Barker’s mythology.
NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND: PATRICK REA Pulling together a feature involving a hungry monster and a raging storm was quite a “Nailbiter.”

GRAVY
FIRST RITES Learning to love the “Shadows”
POSTAL ZONE They moon over monochrome
MONSTER INVASION Previews of “The Devil’s Carnival,” “Lovely Molly” and “The Fields”
THE TRASH COMPACTOR Before Freddy invaded dreams, there was “The Slayer”
CRYPT LIT Our new column devoted to vintage written horror debuts with “The Room in the Tower”
THE VIDEO EYE OF DR. CYCLOPS Reviews of “The Innkeepers,” “The Divide,” “Deadheads,” “The Girl in Room 2A” and others
THE PIT AND THE PEN OF BERT I. GORDON All’s Welles that ends Welles
NIGHTMARE LIBRARY Reviews of Robert Jackson Bennett’s “The Troupe,” Howard J. Ford’s “Surviving ‘The Dead,’ ” etc.
CLASSIFIED AD VAULT
DEAD FORMAT Are you up to snuff?

MONSTERS UNLEASHED! MAKE-UP ARTIST 95

Posted by 1001web


You have probably noticed by now that this week's monster make-up special features have been largely derived from a publication called MAKE-UP ARTIST. Indeed, MUA is even the subject of this week's MONSTER MAGAZINE WORLD SPOTLIGHT site as well. All this is for a good reason . . . actually, three: MUA is a great 'zine, it's the only newsstand magazine that I am aware of that focuses on media make-up, and it is worthy of your attention if you have any interest at all in this fascinating industry.

Monster movie make-up has come a loooong way since Jack Pierce first spirit-gummed a hunk of yak hair onto Lon Chaney Jr.'s mug, thus turning him into the iconic Universal screen monster, The Wolf Man. But that doesn't keep a slick and hip modern make-up mag like MUA from never forgetting where all this came from -- it's roots, so to speak.

Inching closer to their centennial, issue #95 is now on sale, and it features an awesome cover image of a sculpted figure of the aforementioned Mr. Pierce putting the "final wrap" on a figure of Boris Karloff as The Mummy. To say the image of these two figures is life-like is a gross understatement. All one has to do is take a look at Karloff's eyes, or the frozen pose of Pierce lovingly tending to his creation.

This phenomenal cover is so impressive to me that I believe it could easily stand up against the competition for next year's Rondo's "Best Cover" category. Just to prove my point, take a look at the exclusive, "Behind-the-Scenes" video of the cover shoot on the MAKE-UP ARTIST web site.

Click HERE to watch the video.



All this grandeur is a result of the artistry of one Mike Hill, sculptor of monsters. His work is featured in this issue. An on-set interview with Mr. Hill can be found at the MAKE-UP ARTIST website. Here he discusses his craft, and even lets us know which is his favorite monster, his favorite Jack Pierce make up, and his discovery of FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND magazine as a kid!


Click HERE to watch video.

Now, make no mistake, MUA isn't a "monster magazine", per se, but not hardly an issue goes by where a monster, science-fiction, fantasy, or other genre film or media subject isn't covered.

Slick, high-quality paper, crisp color photography throughout, and a reasonable cover price makes MAKE-UP ARTIST magazine a can't miss publication.
