- New Nightmare/Are You Afraid Of The Dark (issue 147). It tackles both New Nightmare and Are You Afraid of The Dark, also there is an interview with Gilbert Gottfried who guest starred in the 'Tale Of Station 109.1' episode.
- Elvira (Bloody Best Of Fangoria). Elvira is pretty much iconic, which she is...she's a horror icon.
- Wolf (issue 136 as well as a few others). Well...just about any of the Fangoria issues that focus on werewolves but the ones that are about the movie Wolf (1994) in particular since it is awesome to see Jack Nicholson in werewolf makeup.
- Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (issue 139) In my opinion the 1994 adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic novel (i.e Frankenstein) is severely underrated, I love the design of De Niro's incarnation of the monster, it has a very stitched together look and I like the neat little touches like for example the mismatched eyes.
- The Prophecy (issue 136) The full-body image of Christopher Walken as Gabriel is pretty much the most awesome image ever and looking at it I couldn't help but pick up a few things I didn't know before, like how the angels in the trilogy all have those black nails and those piercing eyes. Makes me think it would be pretty awesome to turn into him or be hypnotized by him.
- Freaked (issue 120). I think more people should know about the 1993 cult classic simply known as Freaked. I can basically sum it up as a cross between The Island Of Doctor Moreau, UHF and Nightbreed. The image of all the freaks together including Ricky Coogin is one of my favorite images in the article.
- Vampire In Brooklyn (issues 148 and 149). Although it isn't one of Eddie Murphy's best, it's still one of my favorites. Plus...I have to admit Eddie actually does look awesome when he is in full on Vamp Face mode, sort of modelling the Buffyverse vamp type look before the Buffy tv show was a thing. I love just about any of the issues focusing on 80's or 90's vampire movies, in particular ones like these, the issues about The Lost Boys and Fright Night as well as Vamp. Also issue 149 shows a couple of photos of Murphy's other characters in the film as well. A TF into his character Maximilian would be pretty awesome as well.
- Sleepwalkers (issue 111). The shots of the titular creatures, Charles Grady in mid-transformation and of course Mr Fallows (played by the late Glenn Shadix) with his other hand severed are pretty much all you need to know. Actually any issue that talks about Stephen King and movies based on his books are good in my opinion.
- Doctor Jekyll and Ms Hyde (issue 145).
- The Hunger (issue 26). Three words: Vampire David Bowie.
- Fright Night (issue 47 and a few others). You know what horror character I would loved to be hypnotized by or turned into? Jerry Dandrige, the 1985 version. Now that's one character I wouldn't mind do a corruption based tf rp on, I do love me the heroes turning evil trope a lot when it comes to horror and monster transformations. Jerry does look fierce when he's all transformed like that.
- Waxwork II (issue 108). Poor Bruce Campbell never seems to make it out in one piece does he? Heck...he's lucky enough to have survived the Evil Dead trilogy in one piece, I mean even in Cars 2 he gets killed off, he seems to either get killed off or put through hell and here he looks like somebody has slashed his chest open. The museum in those movies must be one dangerous place to end up in, I cannot say I approve of this attraction...because getting disemboweled always makes me kind of mad. And if I was Bruce in that situation, I too would be pretty mad.
- Return Of The Living Dead III (issue 127). Is it wrong to say that i'd date Julie Walker if she was real? I know she's a zombie and all but I feel terrible for her. Issues 120-130 to me were rather interesting since they talked about movies like Hocus Pocus, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Jurassic Park - the latter is kind of surprising since it technically is an adventure movie and not a horror movie but it still counts. Also...Weird Al is indeed right when he said that 'Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark' , indeed it is Al..indeed it is. This is one zombie I wouldn't mind being bitten by.
- T-800 (issue 106). You already know why this one is here, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a badass in both the movies and in real life (not to mention he totally kicked Trumpty's fat orange butt on Twitter) and good ol T-800 definitely proves this. One look at this android and the enemy will be running for their life.
- Sleepy Hollow (issue 190). Sleepy Hollow is of course my favorite Tim Burton movie next to Beetlejuice and of course, Christopher Walken's hypnotic performance as the Hessian makes it all the more memorable. There's a picture in this particular article of Walken being made up as the Hessian. Like with Jerry Dandrige, I wouldn't mind being hypnotized by or turned into this character. Of course the Hessian is well...vampiric without being an actual vampire, what with those blue eyes and his pointed teeth...well, I just love the idea of having either claws and fangs or sharp teeth in general (like Mileena from the Mortal Kombat games, and Bjork in the music video for Alarm Call, or a Plutarkian style fish-person).
- Shadow Of The Vampire (issue 201). I love it when they show how they do the makeup process and this article in particular from this particular issue shows how they turned Willem Dafoe into Max Schreck in the film 'Shadow Of The Vampire'.
- The Stand (issue 132). With the 2017 adaptation adaptation of The Dark Tower..let's just say i'm going to talk about Randall in the Stand mini-series. Especially since this isn't the first time Randall Flagg has been brought to life in visual form, the first of course being the mini-series 'The Stand'. Randall Flagg is a recurring character in King's work and he goes by many names/aliases, including Walter O'Dim (Matthew McConaughey's version in the film version of The Dark Tower has Walter Paddick as his name, a nod to the latter). Randall really does look intimidating in his demon form as well.
- Bram Stoker's Dracula (issues 116, 118, 119 and 120). My favorite incarnations of Dracula are Christopher Lee, Lesslie Nielsen, Richard Roxburgh and if animated ones count Adam Sandler's lovable dad incarnation of the character in Hotel Transylvania 1 and 2 and old Dracula from the Grim Adventures Of Billy and Mandy - oh and Mr Burns in the 'Bart Simpson's Dracula' segment from Treehouse Of Horror 4. But my personal favorite will always be the Gary Oldman version of the character because he made the role different than most incarnations, by making him sympathetic and relatable as well as extremely creepy.
- Batman Returns (issue 115). Danny Devito as the Penguin is/was/always will be perfect casting. I mean there's no other actor I think of who could play that role. This issue shows how Devito was made up as the Penguin for the movie and also it shows the animatronic penguins that were created by the late Stan Winston. I just love the Batman Returns issues, especially since the other Batman Returns issue has a picture of Walken as Max Shreck and the caption says 'Looking more like Doctor Calligari than Donald Trump'...which is hillarious because Max basically is a Trump parody, you could also say that Batman Returns predicted Trump, heck..it even predicted The Apprentice with Max saying 'You're fired!" to Selina Kyle near the end. Danny Devito's Penguin has a really unique look and the half-flipper hands as well, I am definitely going to go a Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin TF sometime.
- Bordello Of Blood (issue 150). Lillith does not look too happy...well of course she isn't happy, she's about to be slain by Rafe Guttman. The lovely Angie Everhart naturally looks like she could steal your heart and devour it as well. Being hypnotized by Lillith or being TGed into her would be pretty awesome as well.
- The Addams Family (issue 110). Nothing to say here except how regal and enchanting Anjelica Huston is as Morticia. And she's very experienced at playing enchanting women since she played The Grand High Witch after all.
- From Dusk Till Dawn (issues 148, 149 and 150). One of the best vampire movies ever made in my opinion and thus it gets some of the best articles. My particular favorites being in issues 149 and 150. All of those crazy vampire designs, Tom Savini as Sex Machine fighting off a few of them and a spectacular shot of the Titty Twister. Wouldn't mind being a vampire in that movie's universe.
- Misery (issue 101). Moral of the day here: Don't make Kathy Bates upset. You wouldn't like her when she's upset. Of course as mentioned in the entry for Sleepwalkers, I LOVE Stephen King, in fact him and R.L Stine are both influences of mine when it comes to my writing, and one of the best adaptations of his works is the 1990's film version of Misery. There is no element of the supernatural in this one, just the feeling of dread and isolation that poor old Paul Sheldon puts up with while in the abode of his insane number one fan Annie Wilkes (played by Kathy Bates, naturally).
- Tales From The Crypt (various issues, but in particular issue 156). Every generation has a horror anthology show. The 80's had Tales From The Darkside among others and of course 1989 all through the late nineties there was Tales From The Crypt, what shows like Are You Afraid Of The Dark and Goosebumps were for kids of the 90's, TftC is/was for the mature viewers. One episode in particular that is higlighted in this issue is 'Death Of Some Salesmen' which is basically well...Nothing But Trouble inspired in some way, it even has a similar kind of plot and not to mention the whole actor playing multiple roles thing, said actor being Tim Curry who plays Ma, Pa, and Winona Brackett respectively, he plays the mother and the daughter in drag as well.
- Elvira (Bloody Best Of Fangoria). Elvira is pretty much iconic, which she is...she's a horror icon.
- Wolf (issue 136 as well as a few others). Well...just about any of the Fangoria issues that focus on werewolves but the ones that are about the movie Wolf (1994) in particular since it is awesome to see Jack Nicholson in werewolf makeup.
