PopHorror Let's Get Scared
If you know me and you’re a loyal follower of PopHorror, then you already know we are huge supporters of indie horror. With mainstream films, it’s like we continuously see bloated budgets with weak stories more often than not. With indie horror films, there’s something truly special and magical about the experience and I can never get enough of them.
That is why I’m so excited about Heidi Moore’s new project TrueIndie. She is a killer filmmaker and a huge asset to the horror community. I couldn’t be more proud of her creating something like this and giving an outlet for all the other talented filmmakers out there.
