    2025 EP2: Horror is Dead (again)! Top Ten Films That Changed My Life or Influenced My Work

    Send us a text Even in light of FINAL DESTINATION: BLOOD LINES and SINNERS tearing up the box office, the consensus seems to be that horror is at an over saturation point and the party is over. While I agree there are warning signs, the party ain't ending tomorrow, the next day, or next week. We have a lot of runway left and I have advice for the prod cos on how to extend it.  Also, I list the top ten films which either changed my life or changed the way I view and create films. This was inspired by an edible so keep your expectations in check.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

  3. No Oscar for Demi, News Rundown, SCREAM Theory, and TMI

    No Oscar for Demi, News Rundown, SCREAM Theory, and TMI

    Send us a text While it looked like Demi Moore was cleaning up in Awards Season, a late darling pretty much swept the Oscars. Doesn't matter much in the long run. Demi is great and the Oscars are just a PR campaign for the industry. I'll walk you through it. Also, maybe it's time for the Oscars to fade into history. The desperate attempts to remain relevant in an era where Awards shows have little to zero impact is beginning to look sad.  Also dropping a new SCREAM theory on y'all.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

    2024 Chapter Closes. 2025 Is Going to Be A Page Turner

    Send us a text Closing out what was personally a rough year, but for the horror genre it was one of the best ever, and 2025 looks to be just as good. Industry contraction has finally found it's bottom, they finally know what streaming actually is, and production is about to ramp up. Buckle up. On X: @BloodPopcornPod

    Episode 8: Terrifier 3 and Smile 2 Win Big, Too Much Horror? And We Have More Wine

    Send us a text Terrifier 3 and Smile 2 ruled the box office on their opening weekends, leaving some big budget fare in the dust. The Hollywood Reporter things the horror market is over saturated, we prove that claim wrong. And we finally have our second wine tasting. Ghost Pines 2019 Red Blend. Is it good for your Thanksgiving table? On X: @BloodPopcornPod

    Episode 7: Crystal Lake, Terrifier 3, Robert Englund Retires, Last Drive In Bruhaha

    Send us a text Back from a surreal, emotional summer. But, I came through it understanding far more about myself, and why film gets so personal for some of us.  There is an alleged Crystal Lake update.  Terrifier 3 opens and can do something hilarious and important. Robert Englund makes it official.  And there's drama at the drive-in.   On X: @BloodPopcornPod

  7. Losing Roger Corman, Al Ruddy and My Father, Talking Crystal Lake, My Bloody Valentine, and The Box Office is Just Fine

    Losing Roger Corman, Al Ruddy and My Father, Talking Crystal Lake, My Bloody Valentine, and The Box Office is Just Fine

    Send us a text I took a hiatus to deal with my father's passing. But it's time to get back to work.  Talking how Roger Corman and Al Ruddy's passing is also the passing of an important era in Hollywood's history. Also taking Crystal Lake, My Bloody Valentine, and ignore the doomsayers, the box office is just fine. Hollywood just needs to make better choices.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod
