John Macaluso Tells Us About Fandemic Comic-Con In An Interview

John Macaluso, a name once associated with the fashion industry, then the CEO of Wizard World, is now head of one of the best new Comic-Cons around, Fandemic. John took a few minutes out of his very busy schedule to talk with me about Fandemic ahead of its September arrival. Horror Fuel: “How did you go from being in the garment industry to conventions?” John Macaluso: “It’s funny that you ask that. I sold my company in 2000 and retired. In 2010 my wife and my kid sat me down and said ‘We’re really happy that you’re retired, but you are driving us crazy. You need to go back to work.’ I got invited to go on a tour of Wizard World and I realized that I really liked what they were doing and they asked me to become the CEO, so I got involved in the event business.” Horror Fuel: “Tell me about Fandemic? What sets it apart from

David Farrier Talks The Macabre And His Netflix Series “Dark Tourist”

Earlier this week I was scrolling through Netflix looking for something to watch. I was hoping to find something dark and interesting. I came across a new series, “Dark Tourist” and it fit the bill. I had no idea just how interesting it would be. The series, currently on the “Trending” list, follows host David Farrier as he travels to dark tourist locations, including many dangerous ones. After binge-watching season one of the show I had to talk to David, luckily, he was willing to answer some questions. “Dark Tourist” takes David to locations like Japan’s Suicide Forest and Fukushima. We watch as he spends time with a killer, he participates in a Voodoo initiation, and he took part in burial rites that include sacrifices and we see a family dig up the dead to pay their respects and to redress them. Now, we have our fingers crossed for a second season. David Farrier wears a lot of hats. He’s

From the Crypt

This October A 911 Call Triggers A Search For ‘The Guilty’

This October witness the intense thriller The Guilty, from director Gustav Möller and starring Jakob Cedergren (Compulsion). “When police officer Asger Holm (Jakob Cedergren) is demoted to desk work, he expects a sleepy beat as an emergency dispatcher.

Asger, confined to the police station, is forced to use others as his eyes and ears as the severity of the crime slowly becomes more clear. The search to find the missing woman and her assailant will take every bit of his intuition and skill, as a ticking clock and his own personal demons conspire against him.
