Thanks to @BDisgusting, the splat’s out of the bag! Our cover story is #FreakyMovie, which, as you can see, puts the GORE back in @FANGORIA in a big way.

THREAD. https://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3632705/gruesome-new-look-freaky-highlights-cover-fangorias-return-issue-october/

Our FREAKY coverage begins with @MichaelVarrati interviewing director @creetureshow about his particular brand of horror, laughs, and heart, and continues with @xymarla chatting with @kathrynnewton on the finer points of playing a 50-year-old serial killer.

We’re also proud to have a piece from FREAKY screenwriter @MichaelKenKen, about how writing saved his life and set him on the path to Produced Screenwriter.

Brandon Cronenberg’s POSSESSOR is an exciting new statement in existential sci-fi horror, and in Fango #9 the filmmaker speaks to @ScottWamplerBMD about how the arc of technology can take the subtle turn from dystopian to commonplace - but is often no less horrifying.

Helping him visualize that turn is FX artist @13fingerfx, who walks us through a rather memorable and, er, stomach-turning cameo in the film.

THE WOLF OF SNOW HOLLOW looks like another total original from Jim Cummings, and we couldn’t think of a better writer to report on the making of the film than @jimmycthatsme.

Amazon’s WELCOME TO THE BLUMHOUSE event looks to be a can’t miss endeavor, so we’ve got @HauntedMeg covering the whole series, while @SiddhantAdlakha digs deeper into EVIL EYE with stars Sunita Mani and Sarita Choudhury, and filmmakers @madplays, @elandassani and @dassanir.

THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR is upon us, so we had @HauntedMeg dig into that goodness, while @ScottWamplerBMD hits up @flanaganfilm for some inside dirt.

Viewers of the @Elreynetwork know @nesgritton as a funny and frank voice on the scene, and we’re excited to host her very personal essay about the relationship between horror and kink. (Don’t show mom this one.)

Fango’s @BookishPlinko traces the evolution of the Romeroverse heroine in “From Barbra To Barbara,” and @MBarone tackles the storied history between horror and hip hop, teeing up a conversation between @mtgilchrist and the horrorcore hip hop trio @clppng.

The amazing @suspirialex is stoked for the world to see 12-HOUR SHIFT, and when she told us she wanted to interview writer/director Brea Grant, we weren’t about to say no.

The lovely and talented @jonahray is back in Fango, as bummed as we are about CANDYMAN pushing to 2021. To tide you over, Jonah writes about how the original scarred him for life.

We’ve also got a brand-new piece of fiction from @claymcleod, and original art by @PuisCalzada (see previous tweet), @laptop_lasane and Joe Oliver!

And, as they say, much much more.

Thanks for sticking out 2020 with us! Stronger together and all that. Here’s hoping issue 10 finds is in a better place as a world.

(Narrator: It didn’t.)

Mentioned in the @BDisgusting article but late to include in the thread: issue 9 of @FANGORIA sees the return of @GayoftheDead to the pages of Fango, absolutely killing a defense of the problematic fave HAUTE TENSION...

Do we talk about the pandemic? Of course we do: Mike Gingold speaks to some filmmakers who’re doing the damn thing during Covid, and @barbaracrampton shares stories of working during this crazy year.

I see people are excited about “diversity,” but it’s easy when you follow my editorial policy.

Issue 9 white board was like
