| Planning
Fangoria was first planned in 1978 under the name Fantastica as a companion to the science fiction media magazine Starlog; just as Starlog covered science fiction films for a primarily teenaged audience, Fantastica was intended to cover fantasy films for a similar audience.The Conan film did not arrive until several years later and, when it did, no groundswell in the demand for fantasy films occurred.The launch of the magazine was delayed by several months as the court deliberated the issue.Some quick brainstorming sessions resulted in the name Fangoria, over the objections of Robert "Bob" Martin, who was hired as editor during the delay.Publication
The first issue of Fangoria was entirely designed around the original "fantasy film" concept for the magazine, and proved to be an abysmal failure, as were several issues that followed, all continuing with the same conceptual approach.Two phenomena allowed Martin to reshape the magazine and bring it back from the abyss of debt.Second was the palpable stench of defeat that was surrounding Fangoria.Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining, was the first issue of any national magazine to wholly concern itself with horror film as produced in the closing quarter of the 20th Century, with no trace of daintiness about its subject matter.It also was the first issue of Fangoria to achieve a profit.David Everitt added in the early 1980s, and after leaving Fangoria worked with film director Frank Henenlotter on the screenplays for Frankenhooker and Basket Case 3: The Progeny.Everitt left the magazine shortly after Martin's departure, and was replaced by current editor Tony Timpone.In 2004, Fangoria released the first of two compilations of short horror films called Fangoria's Blood Drive.Fangoria Radio debuted on Friday, June 23, 2006.It is hosted by Dee Snider, Debbie Rochon, and regularly features Fangoria editor Tony Timpone.Announced at San Diego's Comicon International in 2006, Fangoria Comics launched in June 2007; for various reasons, the line ended in August of 2007.On December 5, 2007, a warehouse operated by Kable News, in Oregon, Illinois, which contained all back issues of Fangoria and Starlog magazines, burned to the ground.In Other Media
