They go on to say – “There are many great stories in genre that have yet to be told from cultures rich with folklore and monsters of their own. When it comes to horror everyone screams in the same language. We celebrate the genre communities being massive and diverse. Fangoria Studios seeks to create new icons of genre both in front and behind the camera.”
