PopHorror Let's Get Scared

Indie director Gus Trapani might not be a name you are all familiar with, but after watching Shellmont County Massacre, I think you might want to check out some of his other work. Gus is a director that prides himself in guerrilla style filmmaking and who has a penchant for …

When I hear people say, “Man, barely any horror movies came out this year,” I just roll my eyes and laugh. Although there weren’t a lot of mainstream horror films to come out in 2018, there were a notable amount of indie horrors that are must-see masterpieces. Never limit your …

We are saddened to once again pay our respects to the loss of another great member of our beloved community. Donald Moffat, known for his roll as M.T. Garry, the commander of outpost 31 in the iconic John Carpenter film The Thing has passed away at the age of 87. Moffat …
