Sometimes going outside the Hollywood system results in something as brilliant as it is unconventional, a touching meditation on aging and regret featuring two of our finest character actors. Sometimes it results in a goddamn weird movie about an aging Elvis and JFK taking on a killer mummy stalking their retirement home. And very rarely, it's both. So let's talk about Don Coscarelli, Bruce Campbell, and 2002's 'Bubba Ho-Tep'!

Time to steer our "Summer of Sam" into another little detour, as we examine the first major success of Raimi-influenced director Edgar Wright and his good friends Simon Pegg and Nicholas Frost, the 2004 horror comedy 'Shaun of the Dead'. Let's get a little red on us, kill the Queen, and stagger down to the Winchester for one of the most beloved movies in the zom-rom-com genre! How's that for a slice of fried gold?

With a first-season finale like that, you had to know the evil wasn't over, right? Join me... excuse me, JOIN US... as we dive into Season Two and help Ash tackle his past, banish the Necronomicon, and meet his new nemesis, the demon Baal, as 'Ash Vs Evil Dead' (and the Summer of Sam) continue!

It's your host's birthday again, and he's selected another birthday-themed horror flick to examine! But while 'Happy Birthday to Me' was a lost cult gem, 'Happy Death Day' is full of messy problems and plot holes. But that's worth looking into too, so let's do a deep dive into this 2017 release that was written in 2007 and all the things that make it what it is. For better and much, much worse.

We last left Ashley J Williams and his friends Pablo and Kelly heading back to the cabin in the woods, determined to bury the Necronomicon and end its reign of terror over the world... but as you can imagine with the season half over, there's a lot of complications to their simple plan. Join Half Price Horror in digging deep, albeit maybe not under a cursed cabin, as we tackle the back half of 'Ash Vs Evil Dead' Season One!

If we're tackling the films of Sam Raimi for our "Summer of Sam", it's hard to resist taking a little detour Down Under to look at the early work of New Zealand moviemaker Peter Jackson and see how he was inspired by Raimi. And when it comes to Raimi-inspired horror-comedies, it's hard to find a more famous or inventive one than the 1992 cult classic 'Braindead'! So let's jump in, dig deep, and kick ass FOR THE LORD as we examine Peter Jackson's bizarre little gem.

Half Price Horror goes small-screen for the first time, as we take a look at the first half of Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell's television sequel to 'Army of Darkness'! It's time to see how Ash has gotten along in the years since his first encounter with the Necronomicon, meet his new allies and enemies, and take that long winding trip that will eventually lead us back to the cabin in the woods!

Are you ready for an electrifying six and a half minute long explainer on the foreclosure process? Are you hyped for a deep dive into cultural misogyny and the grinding misery the patriarchy inflicts on working women? Are you jazzed for a discussion of the ingrained racism in the portrayal of the Romani people? Do you, too, want to overthink the hell out of this movie? Then COME ON DOWN! as our "Summer of Sam" continues with 'Drag Me to Hell'!

It's still a cabin in the woods... and it's still a book of dark magic... but everything else is different. Join us as we go through David, Eric, Mia, Olivia and Natalie's journey into evil, and find out what works and what doesn't about the Evil Dead Remix!
