    Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975)

    Why 'Terror of Mechagodzilla'? Why not 'Terror of Mechagodzilla'? It's the last film in the Showa era, the last film made by Ishiro Honda, it's got one of Godzilla's most iconic foes, and all Godzilla is good Godzilla. So let's dig in and see how kaiju were living in the Me Decade!

    Annabelle: Creation (2017)

    Sadly, there's no warm and comforting narration to explain how this toy is made - but there are orphans in danger, killer scarecrows, and yet another movie about the origins of Annabelle the haunted doll! Let's dig into it together and see how the next installment in the Conjuring Universe fares.

    The Company of Wolves (1984)

    Long before 'The Crying Game' and 'Interview With the Vampire', Neil Jordan made a splash with a dark, sumptuous retelling of Little Red Riding Hood based on Angela Carter's feminist interpretation of the text. It's been a cult classic ever since... but what is it saying about werewolves, and what is it saying about people for that matter? Time to dig in and find out!

    Wolves at the Door (2016)

    Almost buried in the footnotes to the Conjuring Universe is this little non-supernatural spin-off of a spin-off that retells the Manson killings, albeit with a lot of historical liberties and a cameo appearance from one of the characters in 2014's 'Annabelle'. Is it worth digging this deep into the strata of intellectual property exploitation to find that last little nugget of Conjuring content? Listen and find out!

    The Children (1980)

    Radioactive kids hug their parents to death with lethal microwaves that blast from their gothy black fingernails. That's all you need to know, really. Or possibly there's just no point in knowing anything at all.

    The Conjuring 2 (2016)

    Hoo boy. If you thought I was rough on James Wan's 2013 hit 'The Conjuring', you're probably not going to love this episode as I look at the even less true "true story" of the Warrens and their involvement with the Enfield poltergeist. But if you're someone who's thoroughly sick of Ed and Lorraine, this might be just the tonic you need.

    The Amityville Horror (2005)

    It's deja vu all over again, as Half Price Horror returns to Amityville for another look at the "true story" of the Lutz family and their haunted house. But this time we've got Ryan Reynolds, shirtless and jacked, delivering campy one-liners to an audience of CGI specters. Is it an improvement on the original? Let's find out!

    Annabelle (2014)

    Horror fans all know that Annabelle the doll is really just a Raggedy Anne that Hollywood zhushed up a little with some creepy Victorian aesthetic. But does that mean that a movie about her can't be good? Does that mean a film spun off from 'The Conjuring' is just going to be a collection of generic supernatural tropes mushed up and spoon-fed to an audience it assumes to be undiscerning and devoid of judgment? Does it mean that they won't even bother researching the setting because they're scared of showing vapid twentysomethings anything outside of their limited knowledge of the world? ...let's take a look and see.
