Horror 101 – Episode 118: Popcorn (1991)

Buy a bag…Go home in a box.

This show we’re focussing on an obscure gem from the early 90s. This low budget creeper features a bunch of film students hosting an all night 50s schlock horror marathon, complete with William Castle style gimmicks and tricks. This event has a Phantom of the Opera style villain wandering the theatre, dealing out havoc and death. We hope you enjoy our Horror 101 treatment of Mark Herrier’s Popcorn from 1991.
