#Horror (2015)
'#Horror' might have the world's worst SEO, but is it worth tracking down through the sea of movies, books, TV shows and radio plays also tagged as "#horror"?

Basket Case (1982)
Maverick indie director Frank Henenlotter burst onto the scene in 1982 with a horror movie that felt like a punk rock anthem, a grimy love letter to the seedy underbelly of New York as seen through the lens of two dysfunctional brothers and their blood-soaked quest for revenge. And if that doesn't sound awesome to you yet, listen to this episode and you'll see what makes it great!

Maximum Overdrive (1986)
Stephen King directed exactly one movie in his life, and I'm genuinely not sure whether 1986's Maximum Overdrive proves that he should never direct another or that he should direct all of them. Join Half Price Horror for a discussion of exercise in 80s excess with the biggest, loudest, AC/DCiest flick of the decade, 'Maximum Overdrive'!

Trucks (1997)
They say that if at first you don't succeed, try try again... so why not go back to Stephen King's short story "Trucks" a decade after it was adapted as a feature film and turn it into a made-for-TV movie starring Timothy Busfield? Well, it turns out there may be reasons, and we're going to get into each and every one of them!

It's Alive (2009)
As with most series, the 'It's Alive' trilogy inevitably got a reboot somewhere in the Oughts. Is this movie a quick and cheap attempt to cash in on a recognizable name, or does it have something interesting to offer despite being a remake from a remake-happy era? And do the screenwriters know what babies actually are and what they do? Well, there's only one way to find out!
