First in Fright: The FANGORIA Compendium
The Complete History of Horror from the Pages of the #1 Horror Magazine
www.kickstarter.com
I'm filled with butterflies and beaming with pride to announce FIRST IN FRIGHT: THE FANGORIA COMPENDIUM, a hard-cover, full-color book that details the history of Fango, the publication I've loved all my life. www.kickstarter.com/projects/fan...

I believe the Certified Forgotten fellas were the FIRST EVER to invite me on a podcast back in 2020!
Can you believe it's been five years since we had @mereborders.bsky.social on the podcast? We sit down with Meredith for an in-depth conversation about Kickstarters, bookazines, and THE PEANUT BUTTER SOLUTION (one of the strangest pieces of gateway horror you'll ever hope to find).
Podcast: Meredith Borders on 'The Peanut Butter Solution'
Fangoria senior editor Meredith Borders returns to the podcast to talk about gateway horror cult classic 'The Peanut Butter Solution.'

I love how many people have a story similar to mine with The Peanut Butter Solution - renting it as a kid, pre-internet, then being unable to prove it existed for years. Now’s our vindication!
My mom randomly rented this for me when I was home sick from school and I had no one to talk about it with for decades, because no one else had seen it. I eventually made my friend Betsy watch it with me for my podcast.
It’s been 5 years since I last popped by @certifiedforgot.bsky.social, but @donatobomb.bsky.social @monagle.bsky.social made it feel like 5 mins. Grateful these guys let me gab about my gateway horror/fever dream The Peanut Butter Solution. Real movie btw!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Stoppard is responsible for some of my favorite sequences of words in all the English language. Grateful for every syllable.
Tom Stoppard is my all time favorite playwright. The world will be poorer without him. RIP.

Found myself thinking back on the incredible performance of @michaelmckeanj.bsky.social on Better Call Saul, which never asked for sympathy and was doubly heartbreaking as a result. More dramas should be in his future. What a wildcard King Lear he would make!

Exciting way to go into the holidays: I received a copy of my first ever “official“ Tolkien-adjacent work … I worked with MUTANT to edit the enormous booklet accompanying their incredible phyiscal release of THE RINGS OF POWER Season 2 soundtrack.
Gorgeous work, as always, and a real honor.

An industrious gal comes to a remote place, only to find herself drawn to the quirky folks she meets and eventually becomes one of them? Darlin', that's a Hallmark movie.

Just a lil @philnobilejr.bsky.social appreciation post: He's a really good friend – I mean the literal, actual best – but he's also such a good boss. Considerate, protective, transparent, supportive. He's constantly working yet still always answers "yes" when I ask him if he's free for a vent sesh ❤️

The 'Wicked: For Good' Ending Fails to Meet the Moment | Commentary
The ending of "Wicked: For Good" avoids the darker conclusion from the book, but does a disservice to the sociopolitical commentary in the process.
