FANGORIA 300 ISSUE


FANGORIA 300 - ISSUE 300 - WOW - I feel like an old son of a bitch - I remember when I was 13 years old in 1984 and a friend of mine named Timothy introduced me to Fangoria.  From there on I started collecting them issues back way then.  I used to hit the FANGORIA Weekend of Horrors conventions when they used to have them at the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC in the 80's.   When going around the convention dealers room you would find original FANGORIA magazines for 2 dollars,  movie horror classic posters, lobby cards, rare items so cheap, and now those items are worth hundreds to thousands of dollars.  I remembered when they were selling the original PIECES horror movie poster for about 8.00 bucks rolled up.  You would even find original Star Wars collectible action figures for 3 bucks.   Everything now is reprints.  I wish I could turn back into the past and buy them memories.  I stopped collecting FANGORIA - 9 bucks now - I can't afford it - i have to go to Barnes and Noble and read it there because is too high in price - economy is shady my friends.   But I did buy the 300 Issue.  A great issue commemorating all time horror movie classics.  I wish FANGORIA was the price of a GQ magazine $4.99.  I love you FANGORIA - because of FANGORIA i went to Film School and made some bizarre short films.  May the legendary magazine live on.

YEAR OF THE LIVING DEAD - Upcoming Documentary

Recently, I saw a pre-screening of a fine cut of an upcoming documentary YEAR OF THE LIVING DEAD at DCTV (Downtown Community Television Center) in NYC. 
The documentary dealt with the trials and tribulations of the making of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD by George A. Romero within the year 1968 it was made.  The film was funny at times with George A. Romero telling his adventures with the making and the process of his film.  The documentary goes into why the film NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is in public domain and how George A. Romero hasn't received or not getting any money from the screenings or merchandise of his classic horror film NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD since the film went into public domain. 

YEAR OF THE LIVING DEAD (TITLE MAY CHANGE) is still in a fine cut mode, still in the editing and sound stages but what I saw in the advanced special screening the doc is a very informative and a great piece of work.  Check it out when it gets release.
