PopHorror Let's Get Scared

I’m a huge fan of the movie High Tension, so it was a real treat for me to get to speak with filmmaker Franck Khalfoun (director of the phenomenal Maniac 2012) since he’s in it. Franck’s new film that he wrote (along with Glen Freyer) and directed, Night of the …

I remember it fondly. My introduction into the franchise that just wouldn’t quit: Friday the 13th. When I was at the advanced age of 9, my late mother (who was also a fan of horror flicks) took me on her weekly trip to the local newsstand/soda counter (it was a …

If you’re anything like me, you love to ponder the possibility that there’s something out there beyond humanity. Do the religious figures that we’re taught to pray to actually exist?

One of the cool things I get to do here at PopHorror is review films. I try to watch films that haven’t been on my radar and I go into them blind. I enjoy the mystery of watching a new film with no expectations and sometimes I get surprised by …

It’s been said that you can judge the quality of a story by its villain. Well, ladies and gentlemen, let’s talk about the Star Wars universe and the man who made the dark side look so relatable. Darth Vader, the Sith Lord extraordinaire, is, without a shadow of a doubt, …
