Part 2 is supposed to be the "positive installment", focusing on what can be done to put things back on-track for the horror side of entertainment. As I sat here typing, I found out that David Pepose, a fellow FANGORIA ONLINE contributor that also writes for NEWSARAMA had posted two blogs today that focused on the publishing industry taking another hit, and a couple more comics-related titles going under.

Drawing a Vampire for a Halloween art project. "The picture was not destined for the cover of FANGORIA magazine, but it fulfilled the requirement for fifth-grade Halloween art." says Jenel Few of the Savannah Morning News.
 On a chilly Fall day in Chicago, over a thousand horror enthusiasts made their annual trek to the Music Box Theatre for 24-hours of blood-soaked entertainment on the big screen October 25-26. For the fourth year in a row, the Music Box is playing host to the " MASSACRE" - a lineup of new and classic films with special guests, memorabilia vendors, charity auctions, and a general celebration of the genre we hold so dear.
