Interviews

One of the best books I’ve read in the last year is CJ Leede’s Maeve Fly. A female serial killer à la American Psycho? Sign me the fuck up. So when CJ’s new book, American Rapture, was announced, I was overjoyed and thought to myself, I need to interview her! …

Prima Donna‘s Kevin Preston fondly remembers being an MTV kid of the early ’90s. At around 10 years old, this San Fernando Valley native could usually be found watching endless videos of Nirvana, Weezer, Green Day and other bands of the era that dominated the channel, and playing along to …

If we’re friends, then you know how much I love The Bye Bye Man and anything by Brandon Cronenberg. When I heard Douglas Smith, star of The Bye Bye Man (the film also stars Carrie-Anne Moss, his costar from The Bye Bye Man) and Cronenberg’s Antiviral (and is the brother of Gregory …

One of the best things about writing for PopHorror is getting the opportunity to chat with some of my favorite authors. Deliah S. Dawson’s 2023 book, Bloom, is in my top 10 of the last year. I loved it so much that when I was offered a copy of her …

I was first introduced to filmmaker Johannes Grenzfurthner (read our other interview with him HERE) through his film, 2021’s Masking Threshold, and it was apparent to me at that time that Johannes has a very unique and creative vision when it comes to his films. When I learned that he …
