Thank you for that completley unrelated post. Now, back on topic.

What kind of answer are you looking for here?

Because that's what they charge for it. That's why.

It was just a simple question. You don't have to go all pissy about it.

see below. . . .oh, and by the way, why do you put "SCREAM (original)" in your signature - there haven't been any remakes of SCREAM - only remakes which are named Scream 2 and Scream 3

Hulkster92 09-09-2006 06:35 PM

Original as in the 1st one. And, wow, posting an image of an orangutan flipping the bird. How sad.

I found it kind of amusing how he put original by Scream, but not by TCM or The Shining:rolleyes:

we are clearly dealing with a sophisticated viewer of horror films and, apparently, magazine prices!

I'm just saying that $30 for 6 isssues in a little overpriced.

Considering they're around $8 each, thats actually a pretty good deal.

Elvis_Christ 09-09-2006 07:13 PM

I wouldn't complain..... if you do run into Fangoria over here each issue is about $18.

crabapple 09-09-2006 08:16 PM

Here is your answer.

Go to a store that carries them. And read them for free ! Booyah , I'll take your 30 bucks for my great advice.

Thomasgeorge 09-10-2006 04:10 AM

its only 3.99 over here

noctuary 09-10-2006 04:46 AM

$30 for 6 issues is not that bad. Of course, I wouldn't pay half that for Fangoria, but for those that like it, I'd imagine that's a pretty good deal.

azathoth777 09-10-2006 05:35 PM

Try Rue Morgue magazine. $40.95 for 1/2 year(5 issues)!

Roderick Usher 09-10-2006 07:12 PM

Fango is expensive because it has a rather low circulation and - as a result - the mag cannot charge as much for its ad space as say Vogue or People or other big sellers.

Ads are how most mags make their money, but with lower ad income (due to low circulation) the expencse of the mag is passed on to you.

got it?:D

because it fuckin owns.

i always like to impress people with my fango issue #1 (which is pretty much impossible to find anywhere now) and my issue #100 signed by HG Lewis, Tom Savini, Kane Hodder, Linnea Quigly and some other people
