A William Castle Triple-Feature
For my mom’s birthday in August, I bought her a bunch of old William Castle movies and promised that I would take a day off from work to submerge ourselves in these spooky (mostly) black and white delights. My mom loves classic film, and I love horror, so… it was a natural mishmash of interests…. Read More ›
‘Halloween: Resurrection’ is my third favorite film in the franchise!
Halloween III is easily my favorite, followed closely by John Carpenter’s original masterpiece. For reasons I can’t fully explain, Resurrection is third in a franchise ranking. I don’t really know exactly why I have such affection for this movie…but I do. On paper, it sounds terrible. Busta Rhymes and Tyra Banks send a group of… Read More ›
Fanboys: Totally a Halloween Movie!
Okay, Fanboys (2009) is definitely not the first flick that pops into your brain when making a list of the movies you’re gonna watch in October, but it’s totally a Halloween movie. The film kicks off at a Halloween party. October 31, 1998. Three friends, dressed as Darth Vader and two Stormstroopers, are reunited with… Read More ›
Scooby-Doo! & KISS: Rock N’ Roll Mystery
I always have a hard time transitioning from summer to fall. It’s not that I don’t love fall (and Halloween), because I do! I just have trouble letting go of summer and also, in today’s global warming-affected world, it’s generally hot (Hot! Hot! Hotter Than Hell!) in September and sometimes into October.

BP Podcast, Episode 16: “Our Horror & Cult Movie Blind Spots”
On this week’s podcast, Joanna and Johnny discuss horror (and cult) movie blind spots! You know, those movies we really should have seen by now, but haven’t for whatever reason. From Carpenter to Craven, it’s a mixed bag.
‘Shark Swarm’: A Review Rehash
Labor Day was last week. For many, it marks the official end of summer. In honor of that, here’s a little shark-related throwback. Back on June 14, 2008, well before we had any plans for a blog or website or podcast, I felt compelled to write a short review of the made-for-SyFy flick Shark Swarm.
BP Podcast, Episode 15: “Back to School!”
This week, as all the kiddies head back to school for another year of learning stuff, we discuss our favorite school-related genre moments in pop culture. Movies, TV, and maybe even a music video — we break it down. Joanna and Johnny each selected 7 picks and — spoiler — there’s a little overlap. Cough,… Read More ›
Bloody Popcorn Presents: A ‘Green Room’ inspired soundtrack.
After a long wait, we finally watched Green Room a couple of weeks ago. As much as I loved the movie, there’s not a ton left to write about it that hasn’t already been written by others more eloquent than myself. The movie is still in the front of my brain though. And it has… Read More ›
Halloween 2016: Can we start already?
FACT: August signifies the (almost) end of summer. Back to school. Gel pens, Star Wars backpacks, and apple stationary. Last-minute vacations or day-trips to the beach. And the bikinis and floppy hats go on sale. So, do you cling to summer dreams and hot-weather wear? Do you cautiously embrace the small traces of impending seasonal… Read More ›
