As if nuclear war wasn’t bad enough, now those damn Soviets are throwing in everyone’s favorite finned predators in Post Apocalyptic Commando Shark. PopHorror recently snagged the Troma-esque trailer for this horror comedy. Maybe if I had seen this irreverent take on Armageddon as a child, I wouldn’t have spent …

When The Craft came out in theaters back in 1996, I made sure to see it opening weekend. It was everything I wanted – strong, confident young women with magical powers to acquire everything and anything they wanted, with a coven to provide the backbone and structure needed to brave …

We all deal with traumatic events in our lives in our own ways. Some keep it to themselves and never let anyone else know what happened. Some scream about it from the rooftops, and some just prefer to be left alone. Some write a song, or a movie or a …
