Sean Cunningham turns eighty years old this year on December 31st. Well, now I feel old. It’s hard to believe that the father of Friday the 13th (1980) is eighty. Seems the older I get, the more I’m seeing my heroes grow old as well. I’ve always felt that in …

As a big Friday the 13th fan (Stan!), I’ve been looking forward to 13 Fanboy for quite some time. PopHorror writers, myself included, have covered the Deborah Voorhees helmed project since the very beginning. We cheered as the cast grew and as they looked for equity investors and even covered …

Admittedly, I’m newer to Vinegar Syndrome releases, so I didn’t know what to expect when I got a review copy of their recent 2k restoration of Russell Mulcahy’s Resurrection. Does it hold up alongside other distributors focused on genre film preservation like Criterion or Arrow? Find out within! Resurrection was …

We are all so excited for Halloween Kills, which is coming out this October on Peacock. But that’s not the only reason to keep it tuned to the streaming service. They have just announced a whole slew of horror and horror-esque films and series that they’re hosting next month. They’ve …

Author Steven Farkas has a dark mind! But that’s okay. We here at PopHorror love people with dark minds. His work is described as a cross between “Ed Wood, Roger Corman, Philip K. Dick, (Troma Films’) Lloyd Kaufman and a little H.P. Lovecraft.” His latest horror book, Horror Circus, is …

We’ve been looking forward to this one for quite some time and we’re happy …

For decades, the slasher flick has been a staple of popular horror. A masked or disfigured creep running around bludgeoning unsuspecting teens has always made for a perfect date night at the drive-in. Hatchet not only used those popular ’70s and ’80s tropes, turning the dial up to ten, as a …

Friday the 13th is my favorite, unofficial National holiday. Every time one comes around (which isn’t often enough), I find myself Jonesing to watch Jason Voorhees (or his mother) wreak havoc on unsuspecting, pot smoking, horny camp counselors. The only problem? I’ve seen all the Friday films dozens, maybe hundreds …

When Friday The 13th was released in 1980, most people (including its cast and crew) believed it would be a standalone horror film. Enter Friday The 13th Part 2 the following year. Once the studios realized that these slasher films would be cheap to produce and easy to turn a profit, we …

A few years ago, we shared our list of some of the best friends in horror films. Today, we are focusing on the worst of the worst friends to have when you’re living in a horror movie. Whether they made the main character’s situation worse, or they were the very …
