Stephen King directed exactly one movie in his life, and I'm genuinely not sure whether 1986's Maximum Overdrive proves that he should never direct another or that he should direct all of them. Join Half Price Horror for a discussion of exercis
Horror mainstay Emily Hagins has been making scary movies since middle school--and here's the proof! Join HPH for a deep dive into a zombie movie written, directed, and shot on video by a twelve year old girl, and all the interesting discussion
They say that if at first you don't succeed, try try again... so why not go back to Stephen King's short story "Trucks" a decade after it was adapted as a feature film and turn it into a made-for-TV movie starring Timothy Busfield? Well, it tur
As with most series, the 'It's Alive' trilogy inevitably got a reboot somewhere in the Oughts. Is this movie a quick and cheap attempt to cash in on a recognizable name, or does it have something interesting to offer despite being a remake from
It's an adaptation of HP Lovecraft, directed by the great Stuart Gordon and starring Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton, and Ken Foree! All coming out just a year after Gordon's hit film 'Re-Animator', and yet somehow it doesn't even get half the
Larry Cohen returns to the 'It's Alive' franchise one final time with this over-the-top celebration of everything wonderful about his maverick, high-concept style. Do you want to hear about a courtroom scene with stop-motion mutant babies? Do y
If there's one thing that feels like it should guarantee comedy gold, it's taking the satirical series "The Office" and combining it with a gruesome and gory horror premise. So why did 'Severance', a movie that asks the question, "What if the c
More and more mutant babies are being born every day, and the government has decided to kill them in the delivery room rather than see them survive. Is it a metaphor for the generational clash that defined the 60s? Is it a commentary on the com
Every once in a while, a new voice in cinema comes along to remind us that there's no such thing as a stale trope. Sure, we've all seen vampire movies... but have you seen a black-and-white Iranian feminist vampire romance with notes of Sergio
"There's only one thing wrong with the Davis baby... It's Alive." One of the best slogans of the 70s heralds the introduction to maverick guerrilla director Larry Cohen and his iconic creations, the mutant babies with a telepathic ability to se
Some people call it the beginning of Romero's second zombie trilogy. Me, I think it's the perfect capper to the cycle of films he began all the way back in 1968 with 'Night of the Living Dead'. And maybe after you listen to this episode on the
We've stepped outside of the continuity of the 'Elm Street' films, but that doesn't mean there's no Freddy. And it certainly doesn't mean there's no danger. That's right, it's time for a deep dive into the trippy world of metafiction as the cas
So what happens when your visionary star director dips, your Oscar-winning screenwriter goes to jail, and a bunch of angry nerds have notes on how to make your sequel more like a video game? You get 'Silent Hill: Revelation', that's what! Come
We come here today to remember a man who was always generous with his laughter, who gave unstintingly of his time and attention to the vulnerable youths not just of Springwood but to the neighboring towns and cities. A father, a craftsman, and
A patch of ground where the dead won't stay buried. A loving husband who gets sucked into a supernatural nightmare. Revenants who rise from their grave filled with a murderous hatred for the living. And yet, it's somehow not 'Pet Sematary'! It'
The 80s are ending, the Satanic Panic is fading fast as we transition from Reagan to Bush... but you know what people are still freaking out about? Teen pregnancy! So naturally it's time for Freddy to menace a teen mom as we dig into the last o
Time to take a detour into British Gothic horror, as we examine one of the few non-anthology films to come from Amicus and find out exactly what happens when the screaming starts!
With 'Dream Warriors' seemingly providing an infallible formula for the success of the franchise, New Line was quick to capitalize on their hit by rushing a new installment into theaters. But a shortened schedule and a writer's strike made this
Time to take a look at an 80s cult classic that's not to be confused with 'The Pit' or 'The Keep' - this one's about the kids who dig a hole all the way to Hell while looking for geodes in the backyard and unleash horrors beyond imagining. Join
Time for a bit of a hawt take, as we take a look at the single most popular installment of the 'Nightmare' franchise and suggest that maybe, just maybe, taking the single bleakest script Wes Craven ever wrote and crashing it straight into Chuck
"I'm changing specialties, Doctor Grant." It's a small sentence, but it's got a big impact as Mary Mason goes from rising-star medical student to illegal mob doctor, professional torturer, and "extreme body modifier" for a niche community of bo
It's 1985 - do you know what your children are dreaming about? Of course they're dreaming about Freddy, in a sequel that's decidedly different and very interesting to discuss! We get into the film's queer subtext, its very nearly queer text, an
Who'd have thunk that a 90s video game would lead to one of the best Southern Gothics ever committed to film? Join us for every convoluted plot twist, every decaying building, every collision of past and present as we dig into 2006's 'Silent Hi
We've dug deep into Jason, we've analyzed Michael to death, but there's one horror icon of the 80s we haven't even dreamed about tackling until now... Robert Englund's classic slasher, Fred Krueger. So let's take a look at the 1984 original and
They say silence kills, but what do you do when talking can be just as lethal? Take a risk and listen to me speak in English about the 2008 ferociously independent, utterly brilliant low-budget indie horror movie 'Pontypool'! It's a film words
