FANGORIA #317 doesn’t hit the shelves or arrive in your mailbox till next month, but we’ve got the first peek at the cover and the full contents to share with you now! This time, we’ve got a very special piece of art fronting a very special issue.

Our cover image is a photo composite by THE BLOODY BEST PROJECT’s Ama Lea, featuring RE-ANIMATOR star Barbara Crampton bringing you the head of her director, Stuart Gordon. The actress conducts a lengthy, revealing career interview with Gordon in this issue’s pages—and that’s not our only salute to the genre’s past. A special Class of 1982 section features 30-year anniversary interviews with the folks behind the cult favorites AMITYVILLE II: THE POSSESSION, HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH, ALONE IN THE DARK and CLASS OF 1984. And there’s plenty of new-movie coverage too, as we chat with the directors of V/H/S, HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET and SINISTER, and lots more. Head down past the cover for the full details!
