Odds are, if you’re around my grandmother, you’ll find a Stephen King book within arm’s reach. One of her favorite series that King wrote was the Dark Tower novels. Being that I looked up to her so much, you could say that the franchise became my white whale… a goal that …

We watch a lot of different kinds of horror here at PopHorror. We get isolated, we watch loved ones get tortured and die, we get chased by mute, omnipresent psychos, we go insane and we watch the end of the world, all on a daily basis. However, it’s not every …

Torture in the horror genre is nothing new. Though villainous motives vary from films such as Saw and Hostel, nearly every scenario consists of poor unsuspecting victims falling prey to a trap and painful brutality ensues.
