PopHorror Let's Get Scared

John Carpenter’s The Thing is my favorite horror film of all time. It may be my favorite movie, period. I said as much in the retrospective I wrote for The Thing‘s 35th anniversary. It goes without saying that when I heard they were doing an illustrated tribute to the film …

Who’s your horror movie crush? Ever since I had watched Re-Animator when I was a young teenager, I had a huge crush on Barbara Crampton. To this day, I still think she is absolutely stunning and I know I would make an ass out of myself if I ever got …

“Nothing Human Loves Forever” In our final installment of our three part look into classic vampire movies (part one is here and part two is here), PopHorror travels all the way back to 1983 with The Hunger, a horror cult classic with elements of mythology, blood lust and romance. In this bloody erotic film, a …

I’m hopelessly addicted to social media, which is a double-edged sword. On one hand, I spend way too much time on my phone instead of talking to those around me. On the other hand, I’m able to connect with indie filmmakers and discover new films. Such is the case with …

My dear friend Jennifer Nangle, aka Malvolia: Queen of Screams, is one talented woman. When she’s not taking the souls of her victims, she’s creating horror magic via acting, writing, and producing. Yes, folks, she does it all. Learn about how she got involved in the horror community, her dangerous alter …

I would think that starring in an indie horror film is kind of stressful: the long days, the short pay, the stretched budget. I can only imagine that the filmmakers deciding to actually try to kill you for the sake of their film would bring that stress to a whole …

Each year we celebrate our birthdays. If we’re lucky, we get to celebrate them with loved ones. Some look forward to it all day. But what if the person you’re waiting for never shows up? All this plus more happens in the dark horror story I Baked Him a Cake. I …

Director, writer, and actor Trent Haaga has worked on some pretty wicked horror films throughout the last several years. I first saw him in the Troma film Terror Firmer and continued to love his work in things like Deadgirl and Cheap Thrills (see our review here). Most recently, though, I fell …
