Haley HeavyMetal's Fear Fam #1 is now a real-deal, in-print magazine!
The issue's streamlined sleekness rivals even that of Fangoria, but the impressive workmanship isn't at all surprising since Haley and her skillful staff made this endeavor a major labor of love, albeit of the most gruesome kind.
In this respect, Fear Fam #1 covers various facets of the slasher/splatter genre, featuring nostalgic reflections on its movies and characters; classic, slasher posters, Friday the 13th action figures (NECA's Pamela Voorhees and Sideshow's Jason from Friday VIII); Scream Queen of the Month: Amber Brooke; music/horror-movie producer, Jason Von Loo; a "Mount Slashmore" lineup; beloved, slasher kills; indie, slasher flicks and their innovators; plus book and movie reviews, with respectful emphasis on A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Child, Return of the Living Dead, Jason X, Maniac 2012, Don't Torture a Duckling, Heart Eyes, Blood on the Bleachers and (in a piece penned by yours truly), the 1974, slasher insinuator, The Phantom of Hollywood.
As a splendid enticer, Haley acts as the magazine's lovely host, bringing a Forry Ackerman/Vampirella-like charm to the proceedings: a role that seems destined to continue, since more Fear Fam issues are in the works, including one on vampires.
Yes, indeed, Fear Fam has made its historic mark, and I give Haley and her contributors all the credit in the world for bringing this quality periodical into macabre existence. Bravo magnifico!
