FANGORIA'S LATEST SERVING OF "GUTS 'N GRAVY"

 Here's the 4-1-1 on FANGORIA #327, on sale NOW! Get thee hence, foul creature, and purchase a copy or be thrice-damned!
"Two fright favorites return this fall, so we decided to split the cover between them (hope they’re not mad about sharing…). On one side is everyone’s favorite deadly doll from CURSE OF CHUCKY; we’ve got chats with Don Mancini, series creator and writer/director of the new sequel, and Fiona Dourif, CURSE star and daughter of Chucky voicer Brad. On the other is the new screen take on Stephen King’s CARRIE, for which we spoke to stars ChloĆ« Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore. We’ve also got words with original CHILD’S PLAY and CARRIE actresses Catherine Hicks and Piper Laurie; director Jim (STAKE LAND) Mickle on his terrific cannibalism chiller WE ARE WHAT WE ARE; a visit to the set of Vincenzo (SPLICE) Natali’s ghost story HAUNTER; part two of our look back at John Landis’ THRILLER; FALLING ANGEL author William Hjortsberg on his book’s translation to the cult classic ANGEL HEART; a 20th-anniversary retrospective on RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD III; and much more. Head down past the cover for the full details!
