PopHorror Let's Get Scared

In honor of our Creature Feature month, I decided to take a look back at the 1983 direct-to-video monster movie called The Deadly Spawn. The Deadly Spawn was released on August 22, 1983, and was written and directed by Douglas McKeown with special effects by John Dods (Spookies). The film …

Chupacabra Territory (2016) was a fun found footage horror film that shined light on a subject that’s barely touched in the horror genre. The director of Chupacabra Territory, Matt McWilliams, was wonderful enough to take the time to talk to PopHorror and answer our questions about him and his film. PopHorror: …

When I was in still in school, I would frequently hit video stores and buy used VHS copies of any horror films I could find. This was how I was introduced to Frank Henenlotter’s Brain Damage, albeit in an edited form. I remember loving it, having never seen anything quite …

After seeing the trailer for Michael Shumway’s Alienate, I was totally on board! It looked to be a cheesy, action-packed alien invasion film. I was all set to enjoy this on a “so bad it’s good” level. Did I get the experience I was hoping for? Read on to find …

Durham, North Carolina native Dexter Williams has been writing screenplays for over two decades now. Although at this time he has yet to have one of his scripts opted for production, Deter has not given up writing. As a matter of fact, his passion lies more in writing that in …
