Small town America? Check. City of Angels? Check. Las Vegas? Check. Where do you take a horror franchise that’s been everywhere? Where only the Hellraiser franchise (at this point) had gone before, of course! That, ladies and gentlemen, is how we wound up with Leprechaun 4: In Space. Lucky us! There …

While many regard it as an incoherent entry to the series, Hellraiser: Bloodline is quite the entertaining little gem. On March 8, 2017, this installment turned 21. Previous Hellraiser films focused on the humans, their desires, and their flaws. Hellraiser: Bloodline focuses on the demons, Hell’s rules, and Hell’s history. That is …

The term “horror comedy” is thrown around a lot these days. Some are legitimately funny such as Tucker & Dale vs Evil and Shaun of The Dead, but if you want a true horror comedy, check out Leprechaun 3. Directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith and written by David Dubos and Mark Jones, …

It’s March, which means everything is turning green: green beer, green stockings, green shamrocks and little green leprechauns are prancing around looking for their pot of gold. In honor of the cheeky bastard, PopHorror has decided to look back on each film in the Leprechaun franchise, listing the things we loved and the …

I’m a big horror fan, as you well know. I’ve been watching horror movies since the early ’80s, maybe even a little longer. So how is it that I’ve never seen Nosferatu? I’m not sure. I decided to rectify that oversight by sitting down to watch the movie last night on what just …

Eighty-four years ago, a movie directed by Merian C. Cooper hit the big screen and completely changed the course of American history. That movie was King Kong. What can be said about this masterpiece of a movie? A lot. To this day with remakes, reboots, merchandise and video games, King …

In The Mouth of Madness (1994) is a somewhat forgotten John Carpenter (The Thing 1982) movie save for a few memes circulating the internet today. Why is that? It doesn’t get much play time on television and good luck finding it on Netflix. It is a shame, too, because this movie happens …

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors is one of the best movies ever. If you disagree, I pity you as much as Mr. T pitied fools — if not more so. February 27th marks the 30th anniversary of the release of Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. …

After 26 years, the lambs still haven’t stopped screaming! February 14th marks the day of love, but it is also the anniversary of The Silence of the Lambs, one of the greatest psychological thrillers ever made. The Silence Of The Lambs is one of very few films ever to have won …

Critics all seem to hate Mimic 2. I seem to like it. It’s commonly said that everyone’s a critic, so what the hell does that make me? Set in some downtrodden inner city high school, Mimic 2 is about a major roach problem — a man-sized, man-mimicking roach problem! At …
