Episode 167 - The Wolf of Snow Hollow/Scare Package

Back to reality as Octoberama comes to a close. We are back to our regularly scheduled program with a brand new episode.
We kick things off with Real World Horror, where we talk about a Texas artist whose Halloween decorations were apparently too much for his neighbors. In Horror Business, we give an update on the new urban Evil Dead film, titled Evil Dead Rise. We also talk about which one of his father's stories Joe Hill would be willing to jump into the director's chair for and the potential for a perfect marriage between Tim Burton and The Addams Family. We then talk about a new Scarlett Johansson film that is definitely not Bride of Frankenstein if anyone asks and scream queen Danielle Harris joining a new slasher, but behind the camera this time.
Then, in our film reviews, we talk about the werewolf crime thriller The Wolf of Snow Hollow, that takes a look at the internal demons we all must fight. We also review Scare Package, the horror comedy anthology from Shudder.
So come on in and join us. Don't worry, we're not Chris Hansen and this isn't Dateline. But... why don't you have a seat?

Octoberama 2020, Vol. 3: Leviathan/The Host

Going into this episode, even we didn't know what we would be watching. The reason for that is because we let our Patreon patrons pick the theme of this episode and they led us into the briny deep for the first ever Week of the Sea Creature!
Before we - ahem - dive in to our film reviews, however, we have to handle our Horror Business. We've all heard the stories about razor blades in Halloween candy, but what about razor blades in pizza? We'll tell you the true story in Real World Horror. We then discuss the sci-fi film Monsters of California, directed by non-other than rockstar-turned-UFOlogist Tom DeLonge. We also tell you which avenging serial killer is returning to Showtime (too obvious?) and re-visit that remake of The Others. Finally, we examine Elvira's new comic book and a VR version of the Blair Witch video game.
We then head into the wild blue yonder as we review the sea monster horror films known as Leviathan and The Host. So put on your speedos and bikinis and get wet with a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast.

Octoberama 2020, Vol. 2: Blood Quantum/The Night Eats the World

Octoberama won't stay dead. It rises again and again on an unstoppable quest to infect everyone it comes in contact with. That sounds familiar. Oh yeah, it's the same as the zombies in this week's episode!
This is Week of the Zombie and there is no Horror Business this week. We jump straight into the grave with film reviews of Blood Quantum and The Night Eats the World.
You can run, you can hide, but there is no escape from Octoberama. It will find you. It will infect you. Resistance is futile. Join us.

Octoberama 2020, Vol. 1: Fright Night (2011)/Cronos

While 2020 has upended our lives and cancelled a lot of things, it can't stop yet another round of Octoberama, presented by The Grave Plot Podcast.
As usual we kick off the month with Week of the Vampire. This year's selections features the first full length film from legendary director Guillermo Del Toro, Cronos. It also features a modern remake of Tony's favorite vampire movie of all time, Fright Night.
First off, we've got Horror Business to take care of. In Real World Horror, we warn Texans not to drink the water. We go on to discuss a television series based on Nightbreed. Speaking of TV, we introduce you to Bloody Disgusting TV, coming to your Roku. We also tell you about a new Blair Witch "table top experience" and an animated Creepshow series. Finally, with this being week of the vampire, we close out with a story about the new horror comedy Slayers.
So sink your teeth into this undead episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!

Episode 166 - Spree/Open 24 Hours

Summer's over. The sunny weather has gone away, the leaves have all turned brown. There's a nip in the air and pumpkin spice is everywhere. So let's have one last end-of-summer rager!
Let's kick things off with Real World Horror about the "Gordon Ramsey of the afterlife." He's mean, he hates dirty dishes, and he calls people idiot sandwiches probably. Listen in for the whole story. Then we talk about Horror Business, including the Travel Channel's "Ghostober" lineup, featuring ghost hunting, ghost hunting with the Osbournes, and more ghost hunting! We go on to discuss Megan Fox's return to horror in a movie filmed during the pandemic, a sequel to the viral hit "Take This Lollipop," and a brand new Five Nights at Freddy's game. We close things out with an update on the end of The Walking Dead, which is actually a setup for even more The Walking Dead.
For our film reviews, we talk about a couple of fresh ones. Recently released on VOD, we first examine the scary concept of being Open 24 Hours. This slasher slid under a lot of radars so make sure to see if it's worth your time. We also discuss the social media fueled Spree, featuring Joe Keery doing it #AllForTheClicks.
So tap the keg and crank up a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!

Episode 165 - The Pale Door/Ravenous

Howdy partner! We've got a rootin', tootin' new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast and today we're headed to the wild, wild west to talk about horror westerns!
Before we hit the ol' dusty trail, though, we've gotta talk about this Horror Business. In Real World Horror, we talk about a German graveyard featuring bodies being buried upside down. Why, you ask? Some kind of cult ritual? No, no, it's much simpler than that. It's because of ZOMBIES.
We also play a round of "good news, bad news" with a story on a brand new Haunted Mansion themed movie coming from Disney. Don't get too excited, remember there's bad news. We then reminisce on our times getting drunk and playing Left 4 Dead 2 because there's a new official unofficial update coming for the game! We also discuss a full length version of Jill Gevargizian's The Stylist, a whole franchise coming for Army of the Dead, and we delve into the strange world of Darren Lynn Bousman's One Day Die.
We then rustle up our film reviews. First up, we discuss the new witchy western The Pale Door, featuring Zachary Knighton, Pat Healy, and a gang of outlaws taking on an army of sinister Salem sorceresses. We then head to the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains for Ravenous. This pitch black comedic cannibal film feature Guy Pierce, Robert Carlyle, and - naturally - David Arquette. What could go wrong?
So saddle up and let's ride into the sunset with a brand new Grave Plot Podcast!

Episode 164 - The Rental/Random Acts of Violence

Oh you didn't know? Your ass better call somebody. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, welcome to a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!
After our usual ranting and raving about various goings on in the world, including elections, The Grave Plot Film Fest, and A REMAKE OF THE EXORCIST WHAT, we get down to Horror Business. In Real World Horror, we take a look at the trend of terrifying insects infesting the United States, from murder hornets to the newest threat; zombie cicadas!
We then discuss a new TV show based on David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers, a troublesome pervert getting removed from Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead, and a trilogy of films based on the works of R.L. Stine coming to Netflix. We close out the segment talking about the possibility of a Tusk 2 as well as a VR Walking Dead video game.
For our film reviews, we discuss two new movies directed by people normally affiliated with comedy. First up is The Rental, the Airbnb horror from the trash panda known as Dave Franco. We follow that up with a slasher from the makers of Goon, including writer/director/actor Jay Baruchel, Random Acts of Violence.
So check out this new episode because if you're not down with that, WE GOT TWO WORDS FOR YA.

Episode 163 - Color Out of Space/Cthulhu

We are back from the brink with a brand new episode dedicated to the works of H.P. Lovecraft (but not the man specifically because fuck that racist). We were originally supposed to have a couple of self-proclaimed Lovecraft experts on this episode but unfortunately they had to cancel and we were left to stumble our way through the Nicolas Cage film Color Out of Space and the independent Cthulhu.
Of course, we've also got Horror Business, including a Real World Horror story that mirrors one of the films, as a lagoon in Paraguay turned an odd shade of purple. We also talk about a new adaptation of an underrated John Ritter classic, a new anthology featuring some familiar shorts, and tell you what's coming up next for the makers of the Shudder hit Host. We also discuss a new book from the legend Stephen King and a new, aquatic horror themed board game from the makers of Mixtape Massacre.
So head with us to Lovecraft Country as we embark on an epic journey known as The Grave Plot Podcast.

Episode 162 - Bloody Birthday/Madhouse

You gotta fight for your right to party, but Taylor doesn't because it's his birthday! To celebrate, we watched two birthday-centric horror movies and we recorded a new episode. IN PERSON. IN THE SAME ROOM AND EVERYTHING.
 
Before we unwrap those presents, though, we've gotta get through the business of Horror Business (and a becoming-ever-regular political rant). Oh yeah, and The Grave Plot Film Fest returns in 2021!
 
We start out with Real World Horror where I don't want to say we talk about aliens, but... aliens. We move on to discuss a new HBO Max series from the director of the Creep films, as well as not one, not two, not three, but FOUR adaptations from Stephen King's If It Bleeds collection. We've got some Stranger Things content to hold you over until season four, plus a small screen version of a lesser known R.L. Stine series of books. Finally, we talk about the new Mortal Kombat movie and just how bloody and gory it's going to be.
 
For our festive film reviews, we talk about a couple of 1981 features, namely Bloody Birthday and a "video nasty" that you have heard of as Madhouse, or possibly There Was A Little Girl, or maybe even And When She Was Bad. Regardless of what you call it, we'll tell you how we felt about it.
 
So join us for cake and ice cream and a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!
