PopHorror Let's Get Scared

On June 20th, we celebrated a special day. Not only was it the first day of Summer, it was also the anniversary of the widely popular thriller, Jaws (1975). It’s been over 45 years and we still don’t have another shark movie that lives up to this fantastic film. Don’t …

Perusing Netflix’s poverty-level offerings, I happened upon the Austrian flick, Blood Glacier. We had crossed paths several times in the past; every time I saw the title I imagined a film about a killer glacier playing “Sink the Titanic” with people standing in for the ship. Of course, it’s not …

October 31st, 1994 was the day my Mom dangled John Carpenter’s Halloween just out of my reach. “Do you think he’s too young to watch it?” she asked her husband. I was four and I didn’t even know what a horror movie was. What I did know was that it …

Watching a found footage film is like going out on a first date. You’re all excited as you get ready; you pick your date up and head out to a fancy restaurant. As you sit in front of them, you first notice a zit ready to pop in the middle of their forehead and they …
