This magazine cover uses typography well as when it mentions other film titles in the coverlines it uses the font that is used for the film itself. This is a good way to promote the films and bring recognition to them away from the magazine. The typography of the masthead works well as it uses red which connotes blood and danger and also the 'F' and 'A' look like fangs which is mentioned in the title "FANGoria". The cover image is successful as it makes audiences feel disturbed and uncomfortable looking at her bloody gums and teeth. The blood dripping from her mouth suggests she has just attacked someone which makes us feel scared and like a victim. The glassiness of her right eye adds to the fear of the girl, it further makes her look not normal. This and the mouth are the only things that stop her looking like a normal female, which adds to the fear because it makes audiences feel like whatever happened to her, could happen to us. The main cover line "Megan Fox will eat you alive!" may appeal to male audiences as Megan Fox is seen as a sexual icon in the acting world, and the idea of her eating you alive may be appealing to this type of audience. It could encourage a different audience to Fangoria's usual audience to buy the magazine because they have a specific interest in the actress of the main film being advertised.
