Horror Posts
Welcome to the dark side of Pop Culture Weekly. Our Horror hub celebrates everything scary, disturbing, bloody, creepy and occasionally so unhinged we can't believe someone actually financed it. Kyle McMahon digs into new horror movies and TV shows, slashers, supernatural horror, cult classics, indie nightmares and the genre's long, wonderfully twisted history with reviews, rankings, interviews, news and deep dives. From Halloween and The Conjuring to forgotten B-movies and whatever nightmare is currently destroying everyone's sleep, if it goes bump in the night, we're probably watching it.

Halloween II Review: A Messy, Worthy Sequel That Picks Up Seconds Later
Halloween II has one of the smartest sequel ideas in horror history, and it pulls it off before the movie has even really started: it simply continues the story from Halloween. Not years later. Not months later. Not even the next morning. Seconds l…
