Fangoria has kicked off the week with a sneak peek at Issue 16 of the new run, which makes history by making The Weeknd the first-ever pop star to get a Fangoria cover story!

Bloody Disgusting’s own Noah Levine explored The Weeknd’s connection to the horror genre here on BD earlier this year, so he’s needless to say a natural fit for the Fangoria brand.

“Fangoria’s summer issue makes history by putting on its cover the collaboration between Oscar-nominated makeup FX artist Mike Marino and multi-million record selling recording artist The Weeknd,” the official press release from Fangoria announced this afternoon.

“Though Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video was featured in FANGORIA #34 and heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne’s “Bark at the Moon” werewolf makeup graced the cover of Fango #35, The Weeknd is the first pop star to net a Fango cover story.”

“Mike’s ongoing, mind-blowing work with The Weeknd is one of the most exciting talent/artist collabs happening in entertainment right now,” said Fango editor-in-chief Phil Nobile Jr. “Mike told us about watching ‘The Making of Michael Jackson’s Thriller’ as a kid and wanting to be Rick Baker when he grew up; to see that childhood wish manifest in the form of the great stuff he and his team are doing in The Weeknd’s music videos made this cover choice a no-brainer for us.” 

The Summer issue also features coverage of Jordan Peele’s Nope, David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future, and John Logan’s They/Them, plus a new column from Stephen Graham Jones.

Killer Collectibles highlights five of the most exciting new horror products released each and every week, from toys and apparel to artwork, records, and much more.

Here are the coolest horror collectibles unveiled this week!

Scream 6 Print from House of Mysterious Secrets

With news breaking that Scream 6 will take place in New York City, it wasn’t long before comparisons were being drawn to Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. House of Mysterious Secrets created an 11×17 parody poster with Ghostface slashing through the iconic “I Love New York” design in place of Jason. It costs $4.99, and all prints are buy 4, get 2 free.

Midnight Mass Vinyl Soundtrack from Waxwork Records

Midnight Mass was my favorite horror content of last year, and Netflix isn’t exactly known for its physical media, so I’m happy to see the soundtrack pressed on vinyl by Waxwork Records. The score is by Mike Flanagan’s go-to composers, The Newton Brothers (The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep), and includes their reimagined choral hymns.

Priced at $50, the triple-LP album is pressed on 180-gram colored vinyl. It’s housed in a tri-gatefold jacket with matte finish featuring art by Lindeman & Associates and previously unpublished character portraits. Liner notes by the Newtons and Flanagan are included on a 12×12 insert.

Creepshow Button-Up Shirt from Creepy Company

Creepshow is one of the best horror anthologies, but “They’re Creeping Up on You” gives me the heebie-jeebies every time. I’m facing my fears by sharing this button-up shirt from Creepy Company as part of their Creepshow 40th anniversary line. Matt Durston’s attention-grabbing cockroach design costs $49.99.

The Creepshow collection also includes another button-up, a pajama set, a sweatshirt, a hoodie, a coach jacket, four zipper pouches, two notebooks, and a 42×60 throw blanket featuring Jack Kamen’s comic book art.

Return of the Living Dead Print from One Man Riet

One Man Riet has released four officially licensed, limited edition Return of the Living Dead posters. It’s party time with this glow-in-the-dark screen print in the style of an ‘80s punk show flyer. I love the Misfits homage along with the Easter eggs from the film (Suicide saying “No costumes” being my favorite). It measures 9×13 and costs $13.

Godzilla Lunchbox from Surreal Entertainment

Be the king of the cafeteria with a Destroy All Monsters lunchbox and matching Thermos from the classic Godzilla film. Created by Surreal Entertainment, the Previews-exclusive metal lunchbox measures 7.75″ long, 6.75″ tall, and 4″ wide. Due out in January, they’re available to pre-order for $24.99 along with Godzilla 1954 and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla designs.
