Fangoria Front Cover Analysis

This is a front cover from the magazine called ‘Fangoria’.  This is an USA film fan magazine which specialises in the genre horror. This is mainly for teenagers and adults who like this sort of magazine. This magazine only focuses on recent films which have the horror genre. This can be seen for example “Insidious”. This horror film came out in 2010. The masthead is in big bold font with the letter ‘F’ and letter ‘A’ which is pulling down. This symbolises to us that the main title is sharp, making us feel scared because in some of the letters there is a colour red which represent blood, and you mainly find that in horror films. The dominant central image represents and is the key part in making this magazine specialised in horror due to the facial expression on the characters face and with the black background which only makes us focus on whats around the magazine. At the bottom of the magazine it has other images which represents that the type of films are in the horror genre and which will appear in the magazine.
