Why you" ? Who are you" ? was asked of me in August 2020 when we closed the acquisition deal on several brands that I grew up with as a teen - STARLOG, FANGORIA, & GOREZONE. It was peak pandemic earlier in the year when I heard the brands were up for sale. I reached out to a friend and former Executive Producer Abhi Goel - I asked him - Hey you've been acquired before and you've scaled companies - You want to buy a publishing company together ? The world was on fire and I wanted to go out making monster movies with creatives.


FANGORIA was a huge inspiration to me as a kid - a place where I could discover new voices, cinematography, and see behind the scenes. This was pre being able to "google" bts on my favorite movies. This was peak Blockbuster weekends. Its one of the reasons I ended up in the film business - entertainment as a career. I've never wanted a personal brand... Just spent years chugging away behind the scenes in production offices and as an independent producer. I had no experience with magazine printing or publishing in general. Grew up in Georgia with no LA or NYC entertainment ties. Here I was trying to defend my right and worth in a space that helped create me.


What I do have is passion and thick skin - I have a deep deep rooted passion and fight to see more females with ownership in the scifi & horror space. More women owning gaming, publishing, entertainment, and comic companies. I grew up idolizing Gale Anne Hurd, Barbara Broccoli, Diane Nelson, and many others including all the original women who created and fostered Nickelodeon.


I am the fourth owner of FANGORIA & STARLOG - Abhi and I look quite different from the former folks. For the first time in 42+ years we're minority and female owned. That's what lights my soul on fire - to continue to grow the company in a more inclusive direction. When we launched FANGORIA Studios in January 2021 our studio tagline became "Everyone Screams In The Same Language". We aim to create around the world. Our first announced feature film is SITORA about a Malaysian Were-Tiger ... The movie is a bit of Parasite, Jungle Book, and American Werewolf in London. It thrilled me as a horror fan. Its so fresh - the same type of story I love but told in a way I could have never imagined. Next we announced MEDUSA which we will film in Greece helmed by Anna Chazelle. What a story - what a woman !


Over the past year and some change I have learned about the publishing world, paper quality, different kinds of ink, and the postal systems around the world....We've expanded the company with new hires and reach. Everyday we learn something new about what makes FANGORIA great ! The market is telling us our gut is spot on. We continue to champion incredible talent and cheer projects on as horror, sci-fi, and comics dominate the box office & streaming.


We've collaborated with major studios, brands, and small businesses. We've led our teams with our experience, gut, strategic partnerships, open mindedness, and what we would like to see as fans. Everyday we get messages from people around the world - stories of where they read their first FANGO, how they still have their collections, their favorite memories with the brand. Its incredible to see people post their new issues - to see the rush of photos on social media with each new issue published.


It seems the passion is contagious - its nice to hear that people are rooting for us. That they want us to succeed. They've reached out wanting to work together. Its been 42+ years and its nice to be a part of this and to leave our mark on these legacy brands.


Considering my feelings and the general internet reaction to the first reveal of the latest reboot, I'm not sure I was wrong to have those doubts. The new Hellboy movie follows "The Crooked Man" comic book arc written by Mike Mignola. Set in the 1950s, the story finds Hellboy and a rookie BPRD agent stuck in the mountains of Appalachia. There, they stumble across a small community being tormented by witches led by a devil with a connection to Hellboy's past. While the story is promising, the Hellboy: The Crooked Man trailer is anything but. Still, I haven't written it off completely yet.


My first thought upon seeing the Hellboy: The Crooked Man trailer for the first time was "Oh no" and I don't appear to be alone, judging from the general reaction online. There's no way to sugarcoat it: I was not impressed. Tonally, it's very different than previous Hellboy movie adaptations, and while that's not necessarily a bad thing, I don't think the tone of this trailer works. It feels less like a Hellboy movie and more like an A24 movie trailer. The folk horror aspect isn't bad - in fact, I quite like folk horror and that's the horror subgenre I've tended to gravitate to in recent years. But it doesn't work, for me at least, to drop the comic book character of Hellboy right into the middle of it.


The overall quality of the production also gives me some concern. Even if Hellboy: The Crooked Man is leaning more into rural folk horror, there's a certain level of quality and production design we've come to expect from those sorts of movies. Right now, The Crooked Man is not hitting that mark. Its budget is clearly constrained to a noticeable degree; it's Hellboy, but Hellboy on what appears to be a bargain bin budget. While low-budget movies can still be excellent, I'm not sure the Hellboy franchise is one of them.


That said, there are a few reasons that I'm making room to hold hope in my heart for Hellboy: The Crooked Man. For starters, this is the first Hellboy adaptation that creator Mike Mignola is intimately involved in; he's a producer on the project. He finally gets to make the Hellboy movie he's wanted to make. That's not to say he's hated previous adaptations or that he has been completely uninvolved in any of them. Still, Mignola has been open that this is exactly the Hellboy movie he's always wanted to see; he's talked about how this is one of the best things he's ever written. Even Hellboy: The Crooked Man's budget is what Mignola wants:


For years, we've been saying, if you're going to make a Hellboy movie, make it small. And the perfect story to do that with is my personal favorite, 'The Crooked Man.' I think it's one of the best things I've ever written. It's beautifully illustrated by Richard Corben, and it's a solid story that doesn't involve a million different characters. Everybody actually agreed from the very beginning, 'Yes, we want to do that one.' Budget-wise, it's good because it's a lower-budget kind of a story. It's not the Hellboy origin. It's not Hellboy saving the world. It's not huge. It's a subtle, dark, little folk horror story.


Speaking of that horror, that's the second reason I'm hopeful. Yes, the trailer is tonally jarring, but I've learned it's foolish and shortsighted to immediately judge a movie from the teaser trailer alone. Sure, sometimes what you see is what you get, but we've also seen many a solid movie ruined by mediocre marketing. With the right setup, the folk horror vibe could work quite well. It's certainly a lot closer to the actual graphic novel roots of Hellboy, which are steeped in cosmic horror, folklore, and old pulp genre magazines and comics. In that way, The Crooked Man is the truest adaptation we've gotten yet.


Even if Hellboy: The Crooked Man ends up surprising us, let's be honest: this isn't the Hellboy movie any of us want. The Hellboy movie everyone wanted to see what Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy 3. With all due respect to David Harbour, who was a great Hellboy, but 2019's Hellboy reboot flopped for a reason. It just doesn't feel right without del Toro and Ron Perlman and Doug Jones. It will never happen, unfortunately, because Guillermo del Toro seems to have lost interest in it after all these years and because star Perlman is now too old. More than ever, the lukewarm reaction to the Hellboy: The Crooked Man trailer just drives home the point that Hollywood should have jumped on del Toro's Hellboy threequel when it had the chance.


Tonally and visually the movie looks to be a solid adaptation of the Crooked Man story. Pretty much every shot they showed was straight out of the comic. I also want Hellboy 3, but this seems closest to the comics by far


Did you just say it's weird to put Hellboy in the middle of a folk horror story situation??... That's literally the entirety of the plot of the Hellboy comic books! Will this movie be good? I'll have to wait and see. But judging from the trailer, it is more on parr with the comics tone than EITHER of the previous movies. You don't need a huge budget and amazing special effects to make a great movie. Go watch Psycho or the Maltese Falcon and you'll see.


I wanted a Del Toro Hellboy film so bad, until I saw it. It completely missed the mark and it was turned into an X-Men film. Ron was great, but the rest was so far off from the source material it never worked. Helboy would work in the vein of The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth, but Del Toro's version was so far from that, I couldn't care less about a part 3.


Yeah.. I'm expecting to be disappointed, but I'm going to give it a chance. I haven't watched the trailer because I suspect I will be off-putt by it. I love Hellboy and I love Adeline Rudolph, and I hope it's at least decent. Sad without Doug Jones, though. At least I did learn that only practical effects were used (for the characters, or something), so that's a plus.


I liked the David Harbor version too. It's a totally different experience from the original. I appreciated they didn't copy and paste the supporting cast and went for a fresh atmosphere. I also really liked all the demons conjured up at the end - horrific and otherworldly. The biggest weakness for me was Milla Jovovich as Nimue. The concept was alright, but she lacked menace, which undermined the threat.
