Research – Magazine Covers 7 Fangoria

Fangoria is an internationally-distributed US film fan magazine specializing in the genres of horror, slasher, splatter and exploitation films.

 
The magazine cover mainly focuses on horror films. Which is why there is a dead woman on the front cover, next to the picture is the title ‘Ghost Story’. The left hand side shows a section of film strip containing 3 pictures with bright bold yellow text underneath each indicating several other articles inside the magazine. The colour scheme is all dark with red and yellow. The title font fits well with the theme of the magazine as does the title itself,  it proudly proclaims what the magazine is all about, "fangs" and "gore". If your in any doubt then it also includes a strapline under the title proclaiming what else the magazine likes to cover, "Monsters","Aliens" and "Bizarre Creatures". The magazine sticks to this layout convention from issue to issue, hardly ever deviating from it.
