I am looking for the fangoria issue that has a pull out poster of jason unmasked from part 3. I used to have it but now cant remember which issue it is. Any help would be great.

Thanks for mentioning the Best of Fangoria issues, robohooker. I forgot to add them to that list above. I own 279 and 280 and I was a little disappointed by the coverage that they gave the movie. There wasn’t a lot of information or images that we hadn’t seen prior the magazines being released. But we live in an Interent age now and nothing is kept under wraps for long.

Hey jasonsfury, I can’t remember if I posted this before, but Bloody Best of Fangoria #’s 1-3 have Friday the 13th stuff in them, (one of them has an unmasked Jason from part III on the cover) and regular Fangoria #279 and #280 include the 2024 Friday.

Petch,
89 was an awesome year for horror movies. I remember watching the episode of Arsenio when it first aired and I thought it was the coolest thing I had seen at the time!

Just picked up Fangoria #53 and #57. #53 doesn’t have a whole lot of Jason, but it does have a poster of part 1 Jason close up, as well as a rare picture from part 3 and a Dario Argento interview for Demons. (one of my all time faves) #57 is an awesome issue with Friday the 13th VI, Aliens, the Fly, Texas Chainsaw 2, and the underrated Maximum Overdrive.

Sigh, here I go showing my age again. I actually *bought* that issue of Fangoria from my local Waldenbooks the day it hit shelves in 1989 and still have it today. Funny enough, I’m forty now, and while I was approaching twenty the day Jason Takes Manhattan opened, sitting several rows ahead of me was a guy who looked about forty, wearing a nice suit and reading that particular issue of Fangoria.

I figured, maybe he was the local movie critic who was doing his homework before he savaged the movie in his review. (This was in Hagerstown, MD, mind you.) I never read any local review or saw one on a local station to follow, although that night Kane Hodder did appear on The Arsenio Hall Show in that now-classic clip you can find on YouTube, were Kane came out in full costume and just stared blankly at Arsenio as he asked silly “movie star” questions.

Fun times in ‘89 I guess….

No problem, TheRustyMachete. Good Luck in getting all of the issues. :)

Ha. My Uncle had that issue. I think I cut it out and put pictures of Jason on my wall, I was like 10 and had no idea it might have been worth something one day. lol.

I remember sneaking and reading this one the first time way back then while my mom shopped at the drug store. Every time she went there I would beg to go along just to read the latest Fango mag. She never caught on to why I always wanted to go, which worked out great for me. I had doubles of this one up until just about a year ago.
