Joe R. Lansdale has created an incredible legacy, writing films such as Bubba Ho-Tep, Masters of Horror, and Cold Jury, as well as series episodes for “Creepshow (2019)”, “Hap and Leonard”,  and “Batman: The Animated Series”. That legacy will be explored in the new documentary All Hail the Popcorn King. 

Filmmaker Hansi Oppenheimer paints a vivid picture of award-winning author and screenwriter and martial artist Joe R.Lansdale in what’s been described as a “five-star” film (GrimdarkMagazine). Chronicling the life and career of the Lone Star State’s “writer of the purple rage” (The Austin Chronicle), the acclaimed documentary also features new interviews with the likes of Bruce Campbell, James Purefoy, Joe Hill, Don Coscarelli, Mick Garris, Del Howison, Amber Benson, novelist David J. Schow, and former Fangoria editor Tony Timpone.

All Hail The Popcorn King has been touring the country and will be released wider over the coming months.

Oppenheimer produced the fan-centric creative event SqueeCon 12/18, produces a podcast, The Grr in Fangrrl on a semi-regular basis on BlockTalkRadio, produced fan film festivals, and is currently touring with  All Hail the Popcorn King.

The new official trailer gives us a glimpse into the life of the brilliant screenwriter.
