Now here is some huge news.
FANGORIA has announced that STEPHEN KING has written a two part article for them that will be in their DEC. and JAN. issues. Titled WHAT'S SCARY the article will chronicle the last decade of horror cinema and will feature KING'S take on why some films rock and others disappoint.
Here's what the announcement over at FANGO reveals:
What's Scary critiques the last decade of genre cinema, from 1999's phenomenon
THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT to this past summer's surprise smash DISTRICT 9. He also
chooses his favorite films and touches on the recent flood of horror remakes and
zombie flicks, making many surprising and enlightening observations.
Stephen's article not only arrives just in time for the holidays, but is also
the perfect way for FANGORIA to wrap up 2009, the year we celebrated the
magazine's 30th anniversary, says Fango editor Tony Timpone. It has always
been a dream of mine to have King listed as a contributor on our masthead, and
the fact that he has written enough for two issues is just icing on the
cake.
The author promises to answer the following questions in his piece
(excerpted from his introduction): First, King writes, why do so many
so-called horror movies, even those with big budgets (maybe espedcially those
with big budgets) not work? Second, why do fans of the genre such as myself so
often go in with high hopes and come out feeling unsatisfieand, and worse,
unscared? Third, and most important, why is it that others - sometimes that most
unheralded others, those with teensy budgets and unknown, untried actors - do
work, surprising us with terror and amazement?
This is quite a coup for FANGO and is very exciting for those of us that are KING fans. I know I'm looking forward to it.
