You are right, it was every Horror fans best friend. I was a preteen when I owned most of these. I had almost every magazine that Fango put out that had an article on Friday the 13th, but the sad part is, after moving a lot and being so young and having everyone looking at them that they got destroyed and lost over time.

If I knew then what I know now I would have a gold mine considering I also had a Friday the 13th comic magazine issue #1 that someone stole from me off the school bus that I am sure would be worth a ton now.

Back when my mother would take my brother and I to the grocery store we would spend the entire time at the magazine rack sitting in the floor and if we wasn’t reading Thrashin’ it was Fango! Remember the classifiends in the back? They sold some of the craziest stuff and before the Internet that was your only source to buying hockey mask etc…

If anyone remembers that comic it would be helpful! It was a Friday the 13th style magazine , but I remember it was in comic form and it said right on the front cover “Historic First Edition”.

Still can’t remember the name but if I saw the cover again I might remember it.

Good times.

Thats funny, I still have that issue somewhere among others. I love Fangoria, in the 80’s it was the horror fans best friend.

This is one of my favorite issues pertaining to the series. Don’t know why, but it is. :)

The people at Fangoria(these days)do nothing but trash Friday the 13th. This is probably the best idea they’ve had in quite a while. I imagine that there is a monthly fee or subscription required to view this stuff. My only beef about Fangoria is that they only talk about indie horror or new movies. I wish they would have retrospect issues and better movie critics.

I don’t know if they ouright trash it, but they haven’t supported the franchise as much as in the 80’s. Even in the 80’s they would write unfavorable reviews for the movies. However, Friday the 13th and Nightmare On Elm Street were the backbone of their issues and in a lot of way, their bread and butter.
