One of my all time favorite films is George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (check out the link for our epic retro review here). Then there’s Tom Savini’s ’90 remake (read our retro of that film here). And boy, oh boy, was I lucky to be able to see …

After reading two PopHorror writer reviews of Adrian Corona’s film, DIS (2018 – read those reviews here and here) starring Bill Oberst, Jr., I decided I had to see it for myself. Described as a “a soul draining, mind numbing yet beautiful experience,” “an artistic beast of a film,” and …

Growing up, I loved comics, and I loved watching Troma movies. We didn’t have a whole lot of superhero movies or shows back then, and the ones we did have… well, they were suitable for that time. Back in the olden days, we had funny cartoons like Iron Man, Fantastic …

If you search Roger Corman, you will find over 400 filmmaking credits to his name. The man is one of, if not the most, prolific film producers ever. He has earned such nicknames as The King of the Cult Film, The King of the Bs, and The Pope of Pop …

Krueger was normally relegated to a Cryptkeeper role, where he would essentially host the individual episodes. Many of these stories were more wacky …

Another great opportunity to write about Ginger Snaps (2000 – read our retro review here), one of my favorite films of all time, came up recently. Even though I love the film for so many different reasons, I have decided to focus what detail I love most about it. So today, …

What’s In The Basement?  It was 1982 and I was just six-years-old the first time I saw him at the bottom of my basement stairs – his pale face set amongst black cloak, black suit, black hat and shiny silver knife. His lips were almost red and his grin was …
