For the past few years the Popcorn Frights Film Festival has been one of the best experiences I have ever had as a horror fan. The week long fest has blessed South Florida with a smorgasboard of horror treats for those who are lucky enough to attend. Each year has been packed to the gills with new and exciting genre films, special guests and activities. All of which helps cultivate a sense of community among horror fans who feel as if they are apart of something special. Now the time has come to reveal the first wave of programming for their 5th year of delivering a top notch experience to the area. So lets check out what they have in store for us.
