Time to spend another Halloween with Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, as she brings us a quirky conspiracy thriller classic from the 1970s! People are turning into homicidal maniacs as their hair falls out, ticking time bombs ready to explode into violent rage. It's all connected to something called "Blue Sunshine"... and if Jerry Zipkin can't uncover its secret, he'll go to prison for a murder he didn't commit.

Not going to lie here--what you think of 'The Conjuring' depends greatly on what you think of the real-life Ed and Lorraine Warren, and I'm afraid I came to the party way too late to have a positive opinion of them. So let's talk about why it's important to do your research, not take the word of a pair of sketchy grifters, and why that might make 2013's 'The Conjuring' a less than ideal film.

There's never been a more appropriate time to describe an episode as a "deep dive", as HPH takes a look at Neil Marshall's masterpiece of unbearable rising tension, 2005's claustrophobic horror film 'The Descent'!

It's another Spooky Season, and you know what that means - we're playing all the hits of horror here at HPH! And when it comes to classic and influential horror movies, they don't come much bigger than the tale of Marion Crane, on the run from the law with $40,000 in stolen money and stopping in for a night at the Bates Motel. Enjoy!

It's not quite Spooky Season yet, but we're starting with the big classics early as we dive into one of the foundational texts of science fiction horror. So let's suit up with the United Federation of Planets--excuse me, just the United Planets--and follow our intrepid starship captain as he checks in on a lost colony and finds lost technology from an advanced alien race... and monsters. Monsters from the Id.

The original '28 Days Later' was shot during 9/11, but its concepts and themes had been finalized before that moment of historic upheaval. So what does it look like when the demise of Britain at the hands of rage monsters becomes a conscious, intentionally political film? What do we see when we look at zombies through the eyes of a post-Iraq filmmaker? '28 Weeks Later' has the answers... and we're about to take a deep dive into the film to discuss them.

Start spreading the news, folks, because just like Jason in 1989, the Gremlins are headed to the Big Apple and they want everyone—simply everyone, from Christopher Lee to Leonard Maltin to Hulk Hogan—to join them! So come along, and we’ll talk about the movie so gloriously anarchic it inspired its very own Key and Peele sketch!

London is deserted, a plague has stricken Great Britain, and the streets are filled with chaos and danger. Is it 1963's classic Doctor Who story 'The Dalek Invasion of Earth'? Probably not, but it is time to take a look at a movie that might have been improved with a Dalek or two with 2002's '28 Days Later'!

It's been a while since we've talked about 'Shaun of the Dead', Edgar Wright's ferociously inventive debut feature, and even longer since we've discussed 1973's folk horror classic 'The Wicker Man'. But they're both relevant here, as Wright and his collaborator Simon Pegg come together for a loving mashup of folk horror and action comedy in the 2007 masterpiece 'Hot Fuzz', and we're going to take a look at it together!

Time for deja vu all over again, as we jump ahead a year from 'The Night Stalker' to its very similar sequel, 'The Night Strangler'. Will Kolchak clash with the police? Will he argue with his editor some more? Is there a supernatural angle to the murders? Listen and find out!
