Under new ownership, iconic horror mag Fangoria is returning to print this coming October, and we’ve learned this week that the mag’s rebirth will bring back the beloved “Scream Greats” feature. As you may recall, early issues of Fango during the mag’s heyday included a pull-out “Scream Greats” poster, and the new mag’s first issue will include a KILLER one.
Publisher Dallas Sonnier explains..
“One of my favorite things about early Fango was the “Scream Greats” poster. It was usually a grainy set photo of a specific film’s practical effects, and it was printed on the back of the cover as a fold-out. Many Fango covers were torn off during the “Scream Greats” poster craze of the ‘80s. We knew we wanted to bring back the “Scream Greats” tradition, but we knew it had to be done in a way that didn’t deface our new magazine. We also wanted to up our game in terms of what was featured on that poster.”
“So I cold-called Zbigniew M. Bielak, the artist from Poland who’s responsible for all the amazing GHOST album covers. Zbigniew got what we wanted immediately, and delivered a poster that exceeded all our expectations. The 16”x22” poster is gently inserted inside the issue (no tearing!), and we’re honored to feature it as a bonus to subscribers.”
