So let's take a look at the 1984 original and all the ways it tackles very 80s fears about neglectful parenting, recovered memories, and liberal judges in its skillful blending of dreams and reality.

Somewhere between 'Day of the Dead' and 'Land of the Dead' lies an odd, sometimes forgotten oddity - a remake of the original 'Night' authorized and produced by George A Romero, but directed by his friend and collaborator Tom Savini.

But between the weird pro-life messaging, the antiquated worship of the nuclear family, and some problematic behavior from the lone trans character, let's just say that it's also time to give a little side-eye to the latest 'Evil

Godzilla (1954)

Half Price Horror ·

2023/10/01

Spooky Season's starting, and the movies don't come much bigger than this - literally or figuratively.

Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)

Half Price Horror ·

2023/09/03

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.

So let's talk about Don Coscarelli, Bruce Campbell, and 2002's 'Bubba Ho-Tep'!
