Popcorn Culture: Census Bloodbath: Have You Checked The Children?
http://jiffypopculture.blogspot.com/2013/08/have-you-checked-children.html
A motion picture is worth a thousand words. Wednesday, August 7, 2013. Census Bloodbath: Have You Checked The Children? Not content with one. Birthday-centric 1981 slasher, in celebration of my nineteenth trip around the sun my sister and I hunkered down to watch this forgotten gem. Lori Lethin, K. C. Martel, Elizabeth Hoy. 1 hour 24 minutes. Evidently, the eclipse blocked Saturn, misaligning the planets and causing the three children, Debbie (Elizabeth Hoy, who was also in Hospital Massacre. The perform...

Popcorn Culture: How Do We Know She Is Alive?
http://jiffypopculture.blogspot.com/2015/08/how-do-we-know-she-is-alive.html
A motion picture is worth a thousand words. Monday, August 17, 2015. How Do We Know She Is Alive? Briana Evigan, Rumer Willis, Carrie Fisher. 1 hour 41 minutes. Slasher remakes are a much maligned bunch. When you earn the disrespect of fans of a genre as notoriously disreputable as the slasher movie, there's pretty much nowhere left to turn, artistically speaking. But still the wheels of the remake machine kept spinning, chewing up and spitting out properties like A Nightmare on Elm Street. Is also a tru...

Popcorn Culture: Census Bloodbath: All Is Calm, All Is Fright
http://jiffypopculture.blogspot.com/2014/12/census-bloodbath-all-is-calm-all-is.html
A motion picture is worth a thousand words. Thursday, December 25, 2014. Census Bloodbath: All Is Calm, All Is Fright. Charles E. Sellier, Jr. Robert Brian Wilson, Gilmer McCormick, Toni Nero. 1 hour 19 minutes. Merry Christmas, everybody! And so many others that you would require a small nation's entire output of boxes and wrapping paper to slip them under the tree. One of the most notorious of these titles is Silent Night, Deadly Night. Obviously, those of us in the horror community will vehemently see...

Popcorn Culture: Census Bloodbath: Dances With Ghosts
http://jiffypopculture.blogspot.com/2014/07/census-bloodbath-dances-with-ghosts.html
A motion picture is worth a thousand words. Friday, July 11, 2014. Census Bloodbath: Dances With Ghosts. Peter F. Buffa. Julie Amato, Victor Mohica, Henry Bal. 1 hour 32 minutes. Guys, I'm so excited! I only have one 1980 film left after this! I mean, it's all in Italian with no subtitles but still! 1980 is so close to being done. It's been quite a ride just to get this far and the slasher genre will only grow more twisted and gnarly as the decade goes on. Thank you for sticking with me this far! Follows...

Popcorn Culture: No Noose Is Good Noose
http://jiffypopculture.blogspot.com/2015/07/no-noose-is-good-noose.html
A motion picture is worth a thousand words. Monday, July 13, 2015. No Noose Is Good Noose. Travis Cluff and Chris Lofing. Reese Mishler, Pfeifer Brown, Ryan Shoos. 1 hour 21 minutes. I fell for As Above, So Below. An insipid Parisian adventure movie with more ideas than intellect. I fell for Devil’s Due. A bland, unnecessary demonic pregnancy flick that gives away its own ending in the first two minutes. And, god help me, I fell for T he Pyramid. The slop filling up our trough today is The Gallows. Begin...

Popcorn Culture: Bella Donna
http://jiffypopculture.blogspot.com/2013/09/bella-donna.html
A motion picture is worth a thousand words. Friday, September 13, 2013. Brittany Snow, Idris Elba, Johnathon Schaech. 1 hour 28 minutes. Not that any of us should be surprised, especially considering that it's a remake, but Prom Night. Has absolutely nothing to do with its titanically offbeat predecessors. It is only nominally a remake, so much so that not a single one of the franchise staples - Hamilton High, Brock Simpson, a score by Paul Zaza, secretly being Canadian - are present. We were dead wrong.

Popcorn Culture: Mama's Boy
http://jiffypopculture.blogspot.com/2013/11/mamas-boy.html
A motion picture is worth a thousand words. Sunday, November 3, 2013. Janet Leigh, Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles. 1 hour 49 minutes. For our class during the week of Halloween, my Horror Studies professor decided to do a double feature of Hitchcock's horror movies. I decided that, instead of including them as mini-reviews in a Splatter University. Post, I should give each film its own full review because come on. Hitchcock. A seminal Italian giallo. And The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. S gore took violent cin...

Popcorn Culture: Come Back To Texas
http://jiffypopculture.blogspot.com/2014/10/come-back-to-texas.html
A motion picture is worth a thousand words. Sunday, October 19, 2014. Come Back To Texas. Jessica Biel, Jonathan Tucker, Andrew Bryniarski. 1 hour 38 minutes. In the past decade, the horror community has been inundated with remake after remake after remake. These types of films have always been around, even in the 50's and 60's and back, but since the mid-2000's there has been an overwhelming glut of the tepid things. Just on this blog, I've covered a small army of them including Carrie. The film was suc...

Popcorn Culture: Census Bloodbath: Motel Sux
http://jiffypopculture.blogspot.com/2014/06/census-bloodbath-motel-sux.html
A motion picture is worth a thousand words. Thursday, June 19, 2014. Census Bloodbath: Motel Sux. Rory Calhoun, Paul Linke, Nancy Parsons. 1 hour 41 minutes. As it turns out, Motel Hell. Is barely even a slasher at all, but I sure am glad I watched it. This strange little film has a checkered past, beginning as a script passed around by Tobe Hooper in the late 70's fresh off of the queasy success of his masterpiece The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. But the fact remains that, comedy or no comedy, this weird l...
