Horror and a Half

Do you want to hear about prog rock horror movies? Deeply 90s devil pictures? Oscar front runners AND a form of television that should be kept away from Stephen King?! We have all that for you, and more! Because we're also discussing the brand new Night Swim aka Evil Pool! Get your swimsuit on and dive right in with us as we discuss ill-advised familial trades, just reaching for things in pools, and diving for quarters.

Happy New Year! The holidays isn't always the most horror-ful time, so we have decided to bring you an impromptu double feature: the remake of House on Haunted Hill and the 8 year later direct to dvd sequel Return to House on Haunted Hill! Join us in a big fuck off asylum as we discuss the joys of sets, twisted theme parks, under what circumstances 1999 and 2007 let us look at tits, evil doctors that it turns out are Like That due to evil statues, and scores of nearly identical nobodies. Plus: we go in The Chamber!

It is, apparently, the most chaotic time of the year! Join us, awash in brain broke energy, as we discuss whales that are your dad, snatched bodies, and finish out our season of Justin Long: Horror Boy (...for now). Then! Our unhinged state does not abate, because we're discussing the 2006 Black Christmas remake! Hang out in a highly decorated sorority house with us as we discuss too many girls, criminally insane Christmas, and a heaping helping of eyeball trauma! Plus: we say come and bitch A Lot. Happy Holidays!

As we open the episode, boy, I hope you enjoy hearing about bad things because we have purposefully bad meta-ish fiction and baffling bad anthology film, and also a novella that isn't bad, but that description didn't fit my thesis. Then! It's time for the recent release It's A Wonderful Knife! Finally! Join us for inexplicable magic, discussion of height based entirely off of vibes, a bad-and-then-rancid town, and a lot of sincere love for Great Movie (TM), It's A Wonderful Life. Merry Christmas, Emporium!

This time around on Horror and a Half, we've got confusing novellas, time travel slashers, the up and up investigations of Doctor X, and the end of Goosebumps (for now!). Then! We pivoted to 2005's Red Eye and, well, it might not be a horror movie, but it is a good time! Join us for bathroom stranglings, alien eyes, and Home Alone-ing.

October may be over, but we, as you know, won't stop! There was plenty in the rest of October, so we've got all sorts of goodies, like goofy doctor murders, mid 90s anthology horror, a false ending for Goosebumps, plus we kick around A Quiet Place II and that new Haunted Mansion. Then! HONK HONK! It's time for 1986's Maximum Overdrive! Hide in a truck stop with us as we enjoy a fine Little League game, shoot a surprising number of rockets, and debate whether this movie fundamentally shaped me (Kelly) as a person. (It didn't). 

Happy Halloween friends! Are you ready for a mammoth episode, I think our longest ever?! Because we have A Lot for you: evil cars, weird short fiction, selling haunted houses, Jason in Space, doctors of sleep, needless prequels, and a truckload of Goosebumps. And that's all before we discuss the brand new The Fall of the House of Usher! Start counting your kids down with us as we discuss many Poe pieces, when evil ladies fuck with you, being evil all along, and the trinkets that will lead to your downfall.

Happy Friday the 13th! We didn't plan anything special, sorry! We're chatting about Poltergeist again, massive evil institutes, a smidge of Jason Vorhees, and the mystery of the ghoulies. Then we're talking about a fresh release with No One Will Save You! Prep your fantasy etsy life as we discuss moving, bugs in throats, and a cavalcade of freaks.

Folks, we had to fight my internet to bring you this one. And what did we fight to bring you? Why, an absolute bounty! We are entering spooky season and we are feeling it which means, among other things, we are talking about: Halloween Horror Nights, haunted space Titanics, fucked up zones, comedians meeting monsters, how Victor Frankenstein has always sucked, and a couple Very Loose adaptations of Poe. Plus, we are also talking 2016's Cell! Did we have to be on a(n internet) phone to do it?? You know it! Don't answer your phone with us as we chat about apocalyptic walking journies, people making very fast assumptions, zombies that are "like birds"(???), and having sex dreams about the President of the Internet (apparently).

As we begin to enter spooky season we have some fine offerings for you: famous slashers going to hell, the lightest possible tales from a crypt, and the season 5 finale of What We Do in the Shadows. Then, it's back to 1989 for Wes Craven's Shocker! Have some dream visions with us as we discuss cartoon central performances, ghost rules, and the perils of TV.
