There needs to be aFangoria, says Nobile.

The magazine was a constant presence in the genre since 1979 and then one day it was gone.

Im proud and excited to be part of the team thats bringing this institution back.

Cinestate plans to further developFangoriainto a brand for producing movies, podcasts, and horror novels.

The company has also acquired the assets and trademarks for the magazinesStarlogandGorezone.
