1989: FANGORIA PRESENTS CINEMAGIC HORROR FX (STARLOG GROUP)

From 1989: Ever fancied making your own ketchup consuming scarefare killathon?

This Starlog Group one-shot probably told you all you needed to know to craft your own teen massacre for the cameras.

FANGORIA PRESENTS CINEMAGIC HORROR FX combined two of the group's stalwart titles to encourage film makers to get creative with latex. 

I've not looked at this in any detail (another £1 discovery) but it seems chancey to encourage the ill-prepared and the poorly informed to be encouraged to be let loose with chemicals, glue and other skin-blistering hardware. 

Did this kick start any careers? Can any top-notch make-up boffins claim their careers started when they picked up this mag? Are there any lawsuits still pending?
