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!

From Beyond (1986)
It's an adaptation of HP Lovecraft, directed by the great Stuart Gordon and starring Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton, and Ken Foree! All coming out just a year after Gordon's hit film 'Re-Animator', and yet somehow it doesn't even get half the love of that cult classic. Come listen to an episode on it and let's see if we can't change all that.

Severance (2006)
If there's one thing that feels like it should guarantee comedy gold, it's taking the satirical series "The Office" and combining it with a gruesome and gory horror premise. So why did 'Severance', a movie that asks the question, "What if the cast of 'The Office' wandered into 'Wrong Turn'?", fall so flat? Well, listen to the episode and find out!

Don’t Miss This
I have anxiety, so listening to him talk about the movies I’m mostly too scared to watch is comforting. His voice is nice too. 🥰
A fun and original horror gem
I stumbled upon HPH a little while ago and I’m glad I did. John brings one of the most unique angles to horror podcasting I’ve ever heard. He is witty and will keep you entertained the whole way. This show is not to be missed.
Came for the Masque of the Red Death
It was exactly what I’d hoped for. Thank you for doing this work!
