Kolchak: The Night Stalker, Episodes 16-18

Time to take another deep dive, this time into 2020's disaster horror flick 'Underwater'! But will things go swimmingly, or is the final release from 20th Century Fox all washed up? Let's find out in another wet and wild episode!

Time for another peek into the life of Carl Kolchak, news reporter and reluctant monster slayer, as he helps Erik Estrada with a pesky Aztec cult, whips a suit of animated armor into shape, and closes the books on a corpse-possessing succubus! It's just another day at the office for Kolchak, so let's dive in and see what makes it all so much fun!

It's the 200th episode of Half Price Horror, and naturally there's only one movie big enough, important enough, and profound enough to qualify for such a momentous occasion! But instead we covered 'Satan's Cheerleaders', so jump in for a discussion of 70s exploitation movies, schlock producer Greydon Clark, and more old Hollywood stars than you can shake a stick at!

Time to take another trip back to the 70s and find out what's going on in the world of intrepid reporter Carl Kolchak--and it looks wild back there, with insta-grow ape men, witchcraft in the fashion industry, and... is that a young Robert Zemeckis? Face it, true believers, this one has everything!

"Welcome to Potters Bluff". It's an odd thing to say to someone right before you kill them, but then again Potters Bluff is no ordinary town. It's a town with a horrible secret at its heart... and Sheriff Dan Gillis is going to wish he'd never discovered it. But we can find out together, in another episode of Half Price Horror!

The Kolchak train rolls on, with energy devouring bear gods, shapeshifters from Hindu legend, and androids looking for books on tape to complete their programming! Time to continue our look at this 70s cult classic with "The Energy Eater", "Horror in the Heights", and "Mister R.I.N.G."!

In the wake of 'Land of the Dead' and its somewhat disappointing box office performance, Romero had nowhere to go but back to the beginning. So he went small-scale, with a mockumentary based on the first days of the zombie apocalypse filled with raw footage taken by an amateur camera crew... and how successful was he? Give a listen and find out!

Spanish moss, Satanic politicians, and messy cultural appropriation--this one's got it all, as we take a look at three more episodes of 'Kolchak: The Night Stalker'. This time out, it's "The Devil's Platform", "Bad Medicine", and "The Spanish Moss Murders", each of which gives our intrepid reporter another chance to clash with editor Tony Vincenzo and learn more about the secret world of the supernatural that co-exists uneasily with our own.

Two thousand, zero zero, party over, oops, out of time, so Godzilla started the Y2K fun early in December of 1999! The big guy dukes it out with aliens attempting to drain the entire Internet of data so they can learn how to build the perfect body for themselves, and unsurprisingly it ends in a big fight in the middle of downtown Tokyo! Join HPH for a fun discussion of the most Hollywood of Japanese monster movies.

Do you love vampires? Werewolves? Sinister spectral doppelgangers and spontaneous human combustion? Then join Half Price Horror for an exploration of a classic 70s TV series that embraces the paranormal, the New Age, and all those classic monsters we adore so much!
