Half Price Horror

It's time to say goodbye to Jamie Lee Curtis for the second time, and say hello to... Busta Rhymes?!? Yes, it's _that_ installment of the long-running Halloween franchise, the one that ditches the family angle to satirize reality TV and finishes off the story H20 started. Let's talk about killer sharks in baggy-ass overalls, Katee Sackhoff, and possibly the most controversial installment in Michael's story, 'Halloween: Resurrection'!

ALL ABOARD! Time to take a little trip with those icons of Hammer horror, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, in a Spanish production that mimics Hammer's Victorian aesthetic and adds a lot of production value with repurposed sets, reused models, and the great Telly Savalas to turn John Campbell's classic short story "Who Goes There?" into a thriller set on the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Has it been twenty years already? Oh wow. Luckily, Laurie Strode's been busy during that time, establishing a new life and a new identity on the West Coast. But Michael's been busy too... and as we'll discuss, he's ready to finish up old business with his little sister once and for all!

What happens when the Atomic Age optimism of the 50s becomes the worn-out, polluted wasteland of the puritanical Reagan era? You get the debut feature of cult director Jackie Kong, that's what! Join us for a discussion of 80s politics, 'Alien' homages, and of all people Ruth Buzzi appearing in a horror movie as we discuss 1983's THE BEING!

Sometimes when you're in a hole, the only thing you can do is dig deeper. And 'Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers' certainly decided to dig in deeper, on the Man in Black and the mysterious runic tattoo and the whole weird mess of a mythos that 'Halloween 5' saddled us with. So join us as we dig as well, into this troubled production and everything that made it the wonderful mess it became!

It's my 75th episode, and what better way to celebrate than with John Carpenter's masterpiece of taut, paranoid body horror! Join us for a discussion of what is widely considered to be one of the very best horror movies ever made, and everything that made it the brilliant piece of cinema it is.

It's been a year since Michael's last blood-soaked rampage through the streets of Haddonfield, and you won't believe what he's been up to in that time! No, literally, you will have a very hard time believing it, and that's not the only problem with the troubled fifth installment in the Halloween series. Join us for a discussion of the very big swerves this movie takes as we cover Dominique Othenin-Girard's Halloween 5!

Sometimes "horror" can be a loose term, and perhaps this particular feature would be better suited to a podcast called 'Half Price Quirky Indie Sci-Fi Horror Comedy Relationship Drama Party Movies With Just a Tiny Amount of Found-Family Trauma Bonding Thrown In'. But until that podcast comes along, it's our job to discuss the quirky indie sci-fi horror comedy... well, you get the idea. Join us!

It's only been a couple weeks for us, but Michael Myers has spent a decade away from Haddonfield. And when he returns, it's a whole new series as we move into the Thorn trilogy! So let's put on a dodgy-looking mask, hunt some children, and enjoy HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS!

Remember how awesome the 90s were? Remember hacky sack, and flip phones, and lava lamps making a weird comeback? Remember how great it was to be there when survival horror was born as a video game genre? Well, if you like taking a trip down memory lane, let's talk about 2021's 'Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City', and its attempt to evoke the spirit of the 90s in a very modern way!
