Octoberama 2025, vol. 2 - 28 Years Later/Final Cut (2022)

We are in week two of this crazy little thing called Octoberama! This is Week of the Zombie!
This week, where other podcasts might be big leaguing us with full size episodes, we are bringing you the first "Fun Size" episode of the season where we forego Horror Business and jump right to the film reviews. Short, sweet, and filled with delicious nougat.
Listen in while we discuss the 2022 French film, Final Cut, which is about a film within a film which is a remake of another film...or something. Next, we swim across the English Channel and talk about the newest addition to the 28 Day Later franchise, 28 Years Later. Innit?
This episode also officially marks 12 YEARS of The Grave Plot Podcast. 315 pieces of content for your earballs. Thanks to our listeners, new and old, for making this show possible. We truly wouldn't have gotten to this point without your support. And an extra special thanks to our Grave Diggers over on Patreon. Your hard-earned cash is what keeps lights on around here.
So sit down, open wide, and get a big mouthful-of chocolatey goodness from your neighbors at The Grave Plot Podcast!

Octoberama 2025, vol. 1 - Nosferatu (2024)/Shadow of the Vampire

We get back to (Horror) Business with Real World Horror, where we discuss a cursed brick from the Old North Church in Boston. We go on to talk about the Duplass brothers' new film making initiative, as well as their new season of The Creep Tapes. We also examine the next film from Osgood Perkins as well as yet another Stephen King adaptation and a horror movie from... Tim & Eric?
Week one is, of course, Week of the Vampire so today we sink our teeth into the satirical making of Nosferatu with Shadow of the Vampire. We then give our thoughts on the most recent make of that very same film with 2024's version.
So grab your garlic and a wooden stake and get ready for the return of The Grave Plot Podcast!
