Did this horror mag go kaput? I haven't seen it on the news stands for many months now but there is nothing on their website. If so, that is too bad since it has been around forever.

....yet, other rags thrive......I just think it's the medium......you wanna know behind the scenes, make-up work and special-effects, it's much more entertaining when the filthy pitchers MOVE....unlike my Jeep magazine-we utilize both, still pictures to scan builds and assembly videos to watch it all work....advertising thrives there as well due to all the aftermarket goodies YOU MUST HAVE........I blame the Internet for this one. That, and Fango was always pretty expensive. Who wants to pay close to ten bucks for a magazine fulla gory photos when you can get all that for free on the web? Just another causality in this bleak dystopia we're living in.

Aye, captain.
Yeah, though, ol Fango was the coolest back when I was in high school. Everyone else had their Circus and Rolling Stone magazines, me and my ghoul mates read Fango and Gorezone, and pasted pics of Jason, Freddy, Leatherface on our notebooks and inside our lockers. Instead of hair bands, I had posters of Tom Savini zombies and Rick Baker werewolves on my bedroom wall. Sometimes the teachers would confiscate our Fangos if we read em in class--that gory stuff really freaked em out. Ah, the eighties...

I love Fangoria. I have a whole bunch of earlier issues bagged, boarded and packed away. Gorezone was a favorite as well. Mom HATED them, especially the ones that had supernatural-themed covers. Satan was always right around the corner in my house growing up.
Yep, same here. My mom didn't mind the gory movie stills so much (after all, she was the one who turned me on to horror flicks and King), but that devil stuff--no way. She was convinced such things could bring demons into our house. Seriously. She even threw out all my Ozzy, Misfits, and Samhain records for fear I'd summon the devil by playing em. (I dug em back outta the trash, though. Are you kidding? Those were my jams!). Ahh, the eighties, when devil music and Satan cults were considered legitimate social concerns!
