Half Price Horror

Time to tackle an undeservedly forgotten classic, a 1972 made-for-television movie about a cynical reporter in Sin City who stumbles on the evidence of crimes no rationalist can explain away. There's a real, live vampire in Las Vegas... and maybe Carl Kolchak is the only one who can stop it.

It's time for your horror host to celebrate another birthday with another birthday-themed horror movie, and why not go straight to the sequel of the one he did last year? It's a bit repetitive, sure, but that's kind of appropriate in this case because Tree's also stuck in a bit of a rut. In fact, she's right back to repeating her birthday all over again... but this time, something's different. Let's find out what it is together!

"Christmas in July" concludes, but not before a little stop in Halloween Town to pick up some goodies for Spooky Season. But is Jack Skellington really the good guy of this story, or is he the Elon Musk of Christmas? Let's take a deep dive and find out!

Christmas in July continues, as we jump into the most authentically holiday-themed horror movie of the genre! But given that director Michael Dougherty's last movie 'Trick 'r' Treat' made a fetish out of honoring traditions without question, is 'Krampus' going to be any different? Listen and find out!

Gremlins had a cultural footprint far beyond its box office success--indeed, it's one of the films that indelibly defines the 1980s. But what does this movie have to say about Reagan's America and the cultural conception of small-town life? How do the grEMliNs inVAde the veRy naRRAtiVe stRUCTure of the fiLM itsELf to coNVeY a sENse of anARKie &&&&&

Sorry about that. The Gremlins have been kicked out of this description. Please enjoy the episODDDDDDD

Time to begin 'Christmas in July', as we take a look at one of the earliest examples of holiday horror and a major influence on the slasher genre. There's a killer stalking campus over Winter Break, and nobody knows their identity... but they're getting troubling phone calls from someone referencing "Billy". And people are disappearing.

Every so often a movie comes along that traumatizes an entire generation. The 70s had 'The Exorcist' and 'Jaws', the 80s had pretty much the entire Indiana Jones trilogy, the 90s had the velociraptors from 'Jurassic Park'... and if you were the right age in 2002, you will always remember Samara Morgan and the seven days you spent in taut, tense fear after watching 'The Ring'. So let's unburden that collective trauma by going over the film together, shall we?

Before 'The Conjuring', before 'Insidious', before 'The Ring' and 'Poltergeist' and a host of films about the supernatural, George C Scott starred in a mournful, elegant film about a grieving father confronted by a vengeful ghost. And what vengeance does it want? Come along with Half Price Horror and find out!

Mick Garris is well known as one of Stephen King's go-to directors for adaptations of his work. But some of those adaptations are more famous than others, and this is definitely one of the lesser-known King films. And why might that be? Well, let's take a look and find out!

What do you get when you combine Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Carol Kane, Adam Driver, Iggy Pop, Tom Waits, Chloe Sevigny, the RZA, Danny Glover, Austin Butler, Selena Gomez, Steve Buscemi, Rosie Perez, Caleb Landry Jones, Larry Fessenden, Sturgill Simpson, and a whole horde of marauding, flesh-eating zombies? You get a dry, deadpan, uniquely Jarmuschian horror-comedy, 2019's 'The Dead Don't Die', and Half Price Horror has a LOT to say about it.
