Are we ever going to get tired of zombies? I keep waiting for us to reach our zombie threshold but it doesn’t seem to be anywhere in sight. The Walking Dead’s ratings are higher than ever, there’s a spinoff show on the way, and it seems like there’s a new zombie video game on the...

The vampire is one of the most reliable movie creatures. What zombies, werewolves, and demons lack in personality, vampires more than make up for. They have style, charisma, and class even when giant fangs are protruding from their hideous mouths. Well, they did anyway until Twilight and True Blood came along and sanitized them. What those two pieces of...

Halloween is an opportune time to break out the cinematic horror goodies – either the ones that you’ve accumulated over the years or maybe just the ones you’ve just never had the time or the inclination to take a look at before. For the benefit of the Pop Chomp reading community, I have compiled my personal...

In 1978, a low budget horror movie called Halloween snuck its way into theaters and changed the face of the genre forever. It was the most successful independent film of all time when it came out, wound up on many critic’s best ten lists of that year, and is still considered one of the scariest...

A couple weeks back I wrote a list of what I thought were some fairly obscure horror flicks to watch this Halloween as alternatives to the usual standards. However, a few people pointed out to me that they knew of or had seen many of the movies on that list. So, I’m back and...

The ABC’s of Death 2 is a horror anthology of 26 short films by different directors. They were each given a letter of the alphabet, complete creative freedom, and about 3-5 minutes of screen time. Watching the film is like having 26 psychopaths tell you the craziest, most fucked up stories they can think...

Annabelle is fucking terrible. It’d be the worst movie of the year if Leprechaun: Origins didn’t already hold that title. And yet every person whom I’ve shared this information with has said, “well I have to see it anyway.” No. No you don’t have to see it people!! YOUR LIVES ARE WORTH MORE!! I...

Continuing my Halloween coverage, we are here today to examine the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. I’ve made it no secret that this has always been my favorite horror series, so much so that I sort of like all the sequels to a certain degree. Still, I have to admit some are pretty terrible...

It’s a sad fact of life that horror remakes have become a sub-genre unto themselves. They’ve always been around but they kicked into high gear back in 2003 with the Michael Bay produced Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Since then, at least two have come out every year and they’re showing no signs of slowing down. A Poltergeist remake is...

It’s almost October! The month of fallen leaves, bizarre temperatures, and most importantly, Halloween. It’s the one time of year where all things Horror are front and center. From costumes to candy to Tales from the Crypt marathons, October is a wonderful celebration of the macabre. We all love to watch horror flicks as...
