I know, it's impossible to find! I went on E Bay and there are two used VHS copies, that's it, and they're not even in mint condition! Obviously not even the low-budget houses like Flashback are re-circulating this odd-ball classic! Shame! Somebody upload the whole movie... I want to see Jill, she's so hot!
Did you see this in theaters? this movie predated "Scream" big time and has great ideas. I saw it in theaters In Halloween time of 91 at 10 and loved it.
I remember when this was in theaters twenty years ago, but just watched this for the first time. After an iffy start, it was actually pretty good. Although I fail to see how it's a "precursor to Scream." Plenty of horror movies before "Scream" were whodunits, and this is hardly meta-horror like "Wes Craven's New Nightmare."
I always thought this movie should have been more popular. Watching it again, I noticed a few similarities to "Scream." I wouldn't be surprised if Kevin Williamson was a fan of "Popcorn."
Cheesy, but still in it's own way if you are a fan of campy horror that isn't really scary. Couldn't find this anywhere,but finally found a seller on Amazon and got a VHS
If this movie was made in 1991 how could it have been before Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elmstreet or Halloween? :) Also.. the bad guy in this movie was the dork in "One Crazy Summer." He was one of the stork twins, the other was Bob Cat Goldthwait.
you know this movie is so damn wierd and confusing, don't deny it. well maybe that's cause i was 13 when i first saw it but even so, years later it's even MORE wierd and confusing!
I was 9 when I saw this back in 92 and loved it, now I'm 27 and I just watched it on netflix a few hours ago and this shit is the lamest shit I've seen since house of the dead. I love that tagline. Buy a bag...go home in a box. That's the sickest tagline in any movie.
i bet if this movie were to have come out this genoration i bet it probly would have a pg13 rating just becase ive seen the movie and i love it also but seems like there making every thing pg13 unless there freaking torture films like saw and hostle
I loved this movie! It was a really fun horror/comedy that did some great parodies of the 50's promotional horror films. (Think William Castle!) If you like those campy kinda shows, you'd probably enjoy this. It's like a 90's version of one with some good 80's cheese. Never could decide which of the mini movies in Popcorn I liked best, but probably either Mosquito or The Stench. *chuckle*
The movie is NOTHING like this trailer. Whatever they were selling in this trailer, THAT was a movie I wanted to see! The one I actually *paid* to see, on the other hand, kinda sucked.
I think this movie's pretty fun. Not high on scares or anything, and you can tell it was a troubled production (with the last minute replacements), but I've certainly seen worse. It's entertaining and the cast looks like they have a blast; Jamaica's gorgeous...and I think Scream's a rip off of it.

@Johnlindsey289 I saw this one twice in theaters. I'm sure that Kevin Williamson was inspired by this when he wrote Scream.

Another terrible horror movie that tried to say they were better than the slasher icons in the trailer. Go figure.

I remember going crazy when I saw the trailer as a kid wanting to see it, then when I did as a teen I hated it. I will check it out again.
