Welcome to the beginning of Famous Monsters Underground, the newest addition to the FM magazine family. Famous Monsters Underground is the raw, counter culture, shriek-inducing, contemporary horror-oriented little brother that Famous Monsters always hoped for. He loves rock and heavy metal, tattoos, and slasher flicks-and he's coming for you!
Famous Monsters Underground #1 is a celebration of all that was good about the 80's -- creepy campouts, imperiled babysitters, and nightmares made flesh. We chat with film legend John Carpenter about his classic horror flicks and his return to the director's chair; chronicle the rise of shock rock; and pick Tom Savini's brain about the '80s FX make-up revolution. We sit down for an in-depth interview with legendary exploitation auteur Frank Henenlotter, talk vampires and remakes with Fright Night and Child's Play writer/director Tom Holland, and go behind the scenes of the 1981 cult classic, The Burning. The debut issue also features exclusive contemporary content, including a revealing talk with Jack Ketchum about his new book and film The Woman, a profile of artist and tattoo legend Bob Tyrrell, a guide to the best genre sites on the internet, and much more!
