FANGORIA #333 doesn’t hit the shelves or arrive in your mailbox for another few weeks, but we’ve got the first peek at the full contents and the cover—with a very big subject flashing back to our very first issue.
Way back in 1979, FANGORIA #1 put Godzilla up front, and we’re doing the same, spotlighting the updated monster from Gareth Edwards’ much-anticipated megabudget take on the Japanese classic. We’ve got a set visit and exclusive words from Edwards, along with a trip to the Aussie location of Greg McLean’s WOLF CREEK 2; Jim Jarmusch and Tilda Swinton talking their cool new vampire movie ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE; Ti West on his religious chiller THE SACRAMENT; Lucky McKee and Chris Sivertson explaining why ALL CHEERLEADERS DIE; ex-cop turned film guy Randy Jurgenson revealing the true facts behind William Friedkin’s shocking CRUISING; director Jeremy Saulnier discussing his knockout revenge pic BLUE RUIN; and much more.
