Fango is heartbroken to announce the passing of Tim Curry, whose extraordinary career impacted generations of film, television, theater, music, and pop culture fans. Until we do the Time Warp again.

Just added to the book: a review/retrospective of THE HOUSEKEEPER. A truly bizarre From Hell thriller with Rita Tushingham as an English maid who battles a teleporting dog and threatens the American family she serves with a shotgun. This now-mostly forgotten Canadian pic played US theatres in 1987.

Rita Tushingham vs. Golden Retriever. Since a couple of people have asked about the 'teleporting' dog scene in THE HOUSEKEEPER (1987), here it is. Note: No dog was harmed in this scene (and he actually looks like he's having a jolly old time!).

THE TWO BIG HITS OF 1978! THE REDEEMER was shot in Virginia in 1976. It premiered in Staunton, where 50 locals (many of whom were extras) watched the film. When asked for her opinion, one woman said: "It needs John Travolta." Patreon commentary for this month: www.patreon.com/cw/TheHyster...

A 1981 classic-era slasher set in that most ‘80s of places, THE MALL, was nearly made by Hemdale, with death in the lingerie department and a severed head in a bowling alley. Read about this MIA retail riot and other Lost Slashers!

Yup! We all are.

New Review: A CRACK IN THE FLOOR (2001) "An abysmal post-SCREAM, scatologically obsessed slasher. ... Only a bizarre cameo by Gary Busey—where he talks about chicken-scented farts and rushes off camera due to diarrhea—lifts it briefly above the tedious." www.hysteria-lives.co.uk/Crack-in-the...

Whilst it's widely known that mainstream critics hated FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2 (even though now it's widely regarded as one of the franchise's best), were you aware that many horror fans did, too? So much so that Steve Miner's film was voted the WORST horror film of 1981 by the readers of Fangoria!

Slashback Review: FATAL GAMES (1984) Do you know the (admittedly) tenuous connection between mad javelin slasher and Bette Davis? Here is some early promotional artwork from when it was originally filmed under the title THE KILLING TOUCH. Find out the link: www.hysteria-lives.co.uk/hysterialive...

And still they come FROM HELL ... '96's ONE GOOD TURN. Another overlooked gem with James Remar, Lenny von Dohlen & Suzy Amis. A man saved from an explosion years previously finds there's no such thing as a Good Samaritan when his hero comes looking for retribution. Another one reviewed for the book!
