  When an earthquake reveals a long-hidden tomb under the historic San Juan Capistrano Mission, El—Greener Pastures' hunky night watchman—moonlights to guard the discovery. He and Imogene have recently declared their love for one another. What better place to grab some alone time than among the skulls and crossbones of the dead? 
   
   
   
  However, when Imogene stumbles into a mound of bones and dislodges a skull, she's plagued by an itching attack that not only ruins their romantic moment but follows her home.Which means the cranium's owner must have been murdered. 
   
   
   
  The only way to get rid of the disgruntled spirit is to reveal his killer. But how do you solve a crime that happened centuries ago? 
   
   
   
  The questions come fast and furious: Has she discovered a new and unwanted ability? What do zombie cults have to do with Baldy and the other bones in the tomb? And, most importantly, will she ever be alone with El again?

  "Ultimate horror often paralyses memory in a merciful way."
  
  In H.P. Lovecraft's 1924 short story The Rats in the Walls, the narrator, an American named Delaporte, is plagued by the sound of scurrying rats in the walls of his recently restored ancestral home—though no one else hears them. Driven by dread and curiosity, he descends into the catacombs beneath the estate and uncovers a grotesque secret buried for centuries that drives him to the edge of his sanity.
  
  Though virtually unknown and financially unsuccessful during his lifetime, H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) is now regarded as one of the most influential 20th-century writers of supernatural horror fiction. Widely credited with inventing the "cosmic horror" genre—fiction that explores humanity's insignificance in the face of vast, unknowable cosmic forces—he also created the "Cthulhu Mythos", a shared universe of ancient alien beings and forbidden knowledge that has influenced generations of horror and science fiction writers.

  Schlock horror director Landis Woodley lives in a decaying mansion in the Hollywood Hills. When he abandoned the movie business—after being reduced to filming skin flicks and peep shows—he also left a laundry list of enemies, including the IRS. But avid fan Clint Stockbern is determined to write a piece on the alcoholic recluse for Monster magazine. Woodley agrees to the interview—for $600 in cash. 
   
   
    
  As the tape recorder starts rolling, Stockbern travels back in time with Woodley. He hears recollections of Attack of the Haunted Saucer, the worst movie of all time, and Blood Ghouls of Malibu. But he really wants to know about Woodley's masterpiece, Cadaver. Shot on location in the Los Angeles County morgue, the film was rumored to have used real corpses and everyone associated with the production has been fatally haunted since its 1957 release. But the truth is far more terrifying than Stockbern imagined. Is a dead Satanist, possessed by the devil, reaching out beyond the grave? Or is the reporter the final victim in a diabolical scheme dreamed up by mortals? 
   
   
    
  Horror Show is a wild and wacky romp that sends up mid-century Hollywood horror movies and schlockmeisters Roger Corman, William Castle, and Ed Wood.
