40 years ago, he slashed his way onto screens.

Now, he’s slashing his way out of your favorite magazine.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Wes Craven’s all-time classic, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET To celebrate, we’ve tapped legendary artist Matt Ryan Tobin to put Freddy Krueger back on the cover of Fango for the first time in years. He did his best, but looks like ol’ Freddy wants out!

We’ve also got a brand-new interview with ELM STREET’s Robert Barton Englund by Diandra Lazor and a new essay on the film from THE SOUL OF WES CRAVEN author Joe Maddrey.

But that barely scratches (heh) the surface. Inside FANGORIA #25 you’ll also find exclusive coverage of Pat Magee’s out-of-this-world makeup and creature FX from V/H/S/BEYOND, details on Coralie Fargeat’s instant body-horror classic THE SUBSTANCE, and Lauren LaVera — Sienna herself — interviewing her nemesis Art the Clown (in reality her good friend David Howard Thornton) about what to expect from TERRIFIER 3 (hint: it’s really gory).

Also inside:

NEVER LET GO
APARTMENT 7A
DON’T MOVE
MUTILATOR 2
BLACK-EYED SUSAN
A24’s HERETIC

And much more! FANGORIA #25 hits your eyeballs this fall, but to get this amazing Freddy Krueger cover, you must subscribe. If you’re new to Fango, code: “FREDDY” will get you 25% off a new sub! That’s four issues for the price of three.

Don’t sleep on this one; it’s sure to sell out!
