Send us a text There have been a lot of horror films released in 2025, especially this summer. Let's dive into the numbers and see what messages audiences were sending to Hollywood.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

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

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

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

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

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

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

Send us a text Lot of new horror releases to talk about, and there sure are a lot of people who want to declare movie theaters and horror dead. Ever wonder why?  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us a text Back from vacation. Mexico was great. Can't wait to go back. SCREAM 7 unfolds exactly the way I said it would, two film remakes are coming that might be good, WOLFMAN gets delayed (but don't worry), and I blow up the attempt to boycott LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL by using their own argument.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us a text A quick tour of horror news, and tackling some of the responses to TRUE DETECTIVE Season 4.  Spoilers.  And I kind of get worked up and say "f**k" a few times.  You have been warned.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us a text SCREAM 7 continues to make news.  Christopher Landon opts in. David Gordon Green opts out. EXORCIST: BELIEVER thoughts. The war on physical media has begun. But we have wine.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us a text The Last Drive In Season Five Premiere threw us a curve ball and it was delightful!  SCREAM VI drops on VOD and Paramount+. The Horror Is Hot trend continues as EVIL DEAD RISE crushes it at the box office. The POPE'S EXORCIST is getting a buddy.  The Horror Tent has no room for toxic jerks who attack people for not liking a movie. *Disclosure: I own Paramount Stock. On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us a text So glad to be back recording after being away working my tail to the bone! Breaking News! Horror is hot! Yes, you and I know it, but now everyone else knows it. They want you back in theaters as the streaming bubble bursts.  Let's break it down.  On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us a text The horror "purists" were out bashing PG-13 horror again, so let's talk about it. Also, filmmakers are not special. That should get me in some trouble, yeah? On X: @BloodPopcornPod

Send us a text Taking at look at the current horror landscape, which looks lush with fresh, original content; including A WOUNDED FAWN, hitting Shudder and VOD on December 1st. We talk with lead actress Sarah Lind.  NOTE: Discovered we had a little audio interference here and there we did not detect during the recording. Apologies!  On X: @BloodPopcornPod
