UPDATE FEBRUARY 10: Fangoria's web site is back on-line, though it states it is being revamped. We're glad to hear that this long-running magazine is still apparently in business, but the publishers fail to address any of the issues stated in the article below. In fact, there is no explanation at all regarding the bizarre absence of the web site for an extended period of time, nor is there any discussion of the future of the magazine.
The horror movie blogs are on fire with speculation regarding what is going on at Fangoria magazine. The publication, which launched in 1979, has gone through disruptive times with a series of new owners, a bankruptcy and a warehouse fire. There has also been criticism that the magazine was slow to make necessary changes to keep up with the look of modern magazines. Now it appears as though the magazine may no longer be in business. The official web site has been off-line with no message alerting readers as to why. No official from the company has addressed the rumors. The latest issue is on newsstands, but apparently there are no announcements about the next issue or any Fangoria events in the coming months. Regardless of the explanation, the sound of silence by management is bizarre, to say the least. To read the web site's Horror Bid's analysis of the situation, click here
