I wrote about DUST BUNNY and FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES for this list 🥰
FYI: In a year overflowing with incredible horror, it's hard to narrow it down! But in the end, we managed. Here are Fango's top picks for the best horror movies of 2025. Did yours make the list?

In the summer of 2023, I visited the set of @bryanfuller.bsky.social's DUST BUNNY in Budapest, and you can read all about it in the next issue of @fangoria.bsky.social!
But first, you should go see the movie - one of my favorites of the year - which is in theaters RIGHT NOW! 🐇🐇🐇

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

I have several of his movies more or less memorized. I’m trying to think if there’s another director that’s true of - I don’t think there is.

Every day I get to work on a special project with Jason is a very good day!
Still plenty of copies out there in the wild. Truly crazy people are digging this. @mereborders.bsky.social did an amazing job taking lead on this special issue and it was a lot of fun designing something a little different for FANGORIA. I really hope we do more.

I listened to @michaelvarrati.bsky.social riff extemporaneously about Baywatch Nights over dinner and it was the most entertaining meal of my life. Now you, too, can experience that joy!
With a BAYWATCH reboot on the horizon, we got to thinking about the sea monsters, vampires, werewolves, and mermaids from the wonderfully unhinged second (and last) season of BAYWATCH NIGHTS.

LAST CALL FOR HOLIDAY ORDERS! (For real!) I won't be shipping any prints after Friday, so if there's someone you still need to check off your list, now's the time!
🎄🎁 Now is the perfect time to say, as I bundle up and head to the post office, that this is the last week to place your holiday orders! See what's in stock and start referring to yourself as "a patron of the arts" at every holiday cocktail party! 🎁🎄
