Closure, Relaunch and Reclosure
Two months and four days after their first title was published, Fangoria Comics was shut down. The blame went to its eleven months of delay and a lack of publicity, both presumably on the part of its parent company, Fangoria Entertainment. Bump, Shifter and Beneath the Valley of The Rage all had future issues finished and hope to publish them elsewhere.
Just six months later, The Creative Group, parent company of Fangoria Entertainment filed for Chapter 11 on March 21, 2008.
The majority of the titles were published online by The Scream Factory in 2007 and 2008.
In October 2008, it was announced that The Scream Factory and Fangoria Entertainment would work together again. Fangoria Entertainment reorganized in 2008, with Tom DeFeo and The Brooklyn Company taking over. One of the first actions of the new alignment was the activation of Fangoria Graphix, a new spin on the Fangoria Comics concept. Many key players and creators from the original incarnation of Fangoria Comics and The Scream Factory are involved, including: Scott Licina, Executive Editor; Troy Brownfield, Associate Editor; and James Zahn, New Media Development.
In January 2009, Fangoria Entertainment once again restructured. After spending much of 2008 and 2009 rebuilding the image of their main brand, Fangoria Graphix was neglected along with the now-defunct Fangoria Radio. The key players left Fangoria to regroup as The Scream Factory once more.
