PopHorror Let's Get Scared

Recently, I had an opportunity to review Cinestate’s Headcheese by Jess Hagemann. You may read my review here. Jess Hagemann is no stranger to writing, and her short stories have won multiple awards. Her debut novel, Headcheese, was a semi-finalist in the Subito Press contest last year. She also owns Cider …

It’s been a great year for horror, including horror TV shows of all kinds. We got everything from angsty, horny teens to badass witches, from creepy pasta stories to ghouls, and from unsolved mysteries to haunted houses. We even got to see the one and only Robert Englund return as …

There was a time when there were only three major TV channels – ABC, CBS, and NBC – and some really great, barely regulated minor UHF channels. That was the only option to see movies, other than catching them on their first run in the theatre. I used to try …
