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 …

Back in 2006, someone thought it would be funny to set Friday the 13th Part III’s (1982 – read our retro review here) Higgins Haven house on fire. The guy actually went on a Friday the 13th forum and posted a picture of the house going up in flames after …

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 …

The Friday the 13th franchise is currently embroiled in a bitter legal battle over film, title, and character rights. That skirmish has caused a complete shutdown to all things F13 related, including video games, merchandise, and, saddest of all, television properties and feature films. What’s one thing you can’t shut …

It has been ten years to the day since we have had a theatrical release of a Friday the 13th film grace our screens. So today, we are going to be celebrating Marcus Nispel’s 2009 remake of Friday the 13th! In honor of the film, I am going to provide some …

August 13, 2018 is the quarter century mark for Director Adam Marcus’ debut feature, Jason Goes to Hell. The film also marked the return of Sean S. Cunningham who co-created and directed the first Friday the 13th. It was tagged as the final Friday, but luckily for us, it would not …

It’s Friday. More specifically, it’s Friday the 13th and sadly we won’t be seeing another Friday the 13th until next year. I decided to keep it simple this Flashback Friday and take a look at Jason Voorhees and the Friday the 13th franchise. I am a Michael Myers girl all …
