I've written about them before, but I am inspired by Don's memories of the issues to nominate these two gross/fascinating/fun covers as best horror film magazine covers ever. Any other contenders you'd like to nominate?

The Two Best Horror Film Magazine Covers Ever?
While enjoying the latest installment of Don Guarisco's Fango Files over at Schlockmania, I got to thinking about how the two most recent issues of Fangoria that he chronicles – issues #8 and 9 – were true boundary-breakers back in 1980s when they appeared.

Thanks for your kind nod to my post. I think #9 might be my favorite because it mixes grossness with a dash of surrealism (a man with a pig's head who is also breaking from 2D into 3D by attacking us with his chainsaw!).
Also, check out #29 from 1983 (GATES OF HELL cover): http://www.moviemags.com/main.php?title=FANGORIA&etos=1983
And also Issue #45, a killer that combines stomach-churning images from LIFEFORCE, DAY OF THE DEAD, REANIMATOR and an arm rising from blood-filled toilet in SLAUGHTER HIGH! - http://www.moviemags.com/main.php?title=FANGORIA&etos=1985
