Visit popcorndoc.com for info about the upcoming Popcorn documentary and DVD release! Popcorn revolves around a group of film students planning an all-night horror film festival in order to raise funds for their cinema club. They decide to show a number of (fictional) horror films from the 1950s that rely on gimmicks such as 3-D, Aroma-rama, and electrical "buzzers" in seats. Unbeknownst to the group, a homicidal maniac is stalking the theater where the festival is being held. A filmmaker named Lanyard Gates, who murdered his family during a screening of his only film in the 1970s, supplies the decoy killer character, since young Maggie (Jill Schoelen) may or may not be his missing daughter. Popcorn was written by Alan Ormsby, scribe behind Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things and Deathdream. While the credit for directing goes to Mark Harrier, legendary director Bob Clark was on set every day helping Harrier through his first feature film.
