I think the traditionalist in me is just missing some of the staples I've come to expect when Fango celebrates another milestone. Still, I have to say this issue's massive selection of reviews has got me going into my movie collection to revisit some old favorites!Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-88187090670463344242011-01-14T21:02:38.620-08:002011-01-14T21:02:38.620-08:00Hey Jeff - as usual, solid writing and sharp obser...Hey Jeff - as usual, solid writing and sharp observations. Cheers.<br />My only beef is with this:<br /><br /><br />"...have always been used to take measure of where the genre has been, where it's at, and where it's going."<br /><br />That's what I want EVERY issue of FANGO to do on a regular day...so with 300 I wanted something a bit more offbeat and timeless...something with no comparison to anything else.<br /><br />It was a bitch to get it done but we did it. Glad to know you had fun with it!Chris Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09617286976228482168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-22822789830350749612011-01-14T18:05:18.197-08:002011-01-14T18:05:18.197-08:00Zombo, I don't want to sell this issue short a...Zombo, I don't want to sell this issue short as, all nitpicking on my part aside, it's still very solid. With reviews of 300 horror movies, you'll definitely get your money's worth out of it! It's a different type of anniversary issue than the ones presided over by Tony Timpone but it's a piece of horror history that's got much to recommend it. Fango has been making great strides lately under C.A.'s stewardship so definitely give the mag a look. <br /><br />Dom, Rue Morgue is one of the most goregeously designed mags on the stands but there's always been an undercurrent of elitism to their coverage that rubs me the wrong way. To my mind, Fango is more even-handed and inclusive in celebrating the mainstream, the independant, and the esoteric alike. But I hope both mags will continue to thrive for many years to come.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-43113688852296462212011-01-14T17:34:12.915-08:002011-01-14T17:34:12.915-08:00I used to subscribe to Fango.

Honestly, I prefer Rue Morgue, but Fango is always fun.Dom Coccarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843380116571749866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-86140324941140906842011-01-14T17:30:03.841-08:002011-01-14T17:30:03.841-08:00Looking forward to picking this one up.

While I'm sorry to hear this issue isn't the best it could be, I'm sure I'll still find it refreshing. Even without Don Knotts. Though that would have been fun.jmcozzolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816003842587967599noreply@blogger.com
