Fangoria
''Fangoria'' is an internationally distributed American horror film fan magazine, in publication since 1979. It is published four times a year by Fangoria Publishing, LLC and is edited by Phil Nobile Jr. The magazine was originally released in an age when horror fandom was still a burgeoning subculture; in the late 1970s, most horror publications were concerned with classic cinema, while those that focused on contemporary horror were largely fanzines. ''Fangoria'' rose to prominence by running exclusive interviews with horror filmmakers and offering behind-the-scenes photos and stories that were otherwise unavailable to fans in the era before the Internet. The magazine would eventually rise to become a force itself in the horror world, hosting its own awards show, sponsoring and hosting numerous horror conventions, producing films, and printing its own line of comics. ''Fangoria'' began struggling in the 2010s due to issues arising from the internet, including difficulty in g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bandersnatch
A bandersnatch is a fictional creature in Lewis Carroll's 1871 novel '' Through the Looking-Glass'' and his 1874 poem '' The Hunting of the Snark''. Although neither work describes the appearance of a bandersnatch in great detail, in ''The Hunting of the Snark'', it has a long neck and snapping jaws, and both works describe it as ferocious and extraordinarily fast. ''Through the Looking-Glass'' implies that bandersnatches may be found in the world behind the looking-glass, and in ''The Hunting of the Snark'', a bandersnatch is found by a party of adventurers after crossing an ocean. Bandersnatches have appeared in various adaptations of Carroll's works; they have also been used in other authors' works and in other forms of media. Description Carroll's first mention of a Bandersnatch, in the poem " Jabberwocky" (which appears in '' Through the Looking-Glass''), is very brief: the narrator of the poem admonishes his son to "shun / The frumious Bandersnatch", the name describing t ...
