Octoberama 2015, Vol. 1: Near Dark/The Lost Boys

Octoberama has returned! For the second straight year, we go back and review some classic movies, with new episodes every week in October! We kick off the 2015 edition with Week of the Vampire, where we review the movies Near Dark and The Lost Boys. There is no Horror Business this week, so just relax and enjoy these bloodsucking reviews. We'll be back in just one short week with another full episode.

Episode 47 - Cooties/The Green Inferno

Taylor of Terror has returned! Episode 47 kicks off with Horror Business about the real world horrors of tequila, as well as a "Legendary" haunted attraction. We also discuss new TV shows, including one based on Stephen King's The Mist, one starring Bruce Campbell, and one from Rob Zombie and Mila Kunis. Yes, Mila Kunis. We also discuss a couple remakes, namely A Nightmare on Elm Street and The Crow. We have two highly anticipated movie reviews this episode, with the horror comedy Cooties and Eli Roth's cannibal flick The Green Inferno. Both of these films were supposed to come out long ago, but due to varying reasons have not. UNTIL NOW. Were they worth the wait? You'll have to listen to find out! So enjoy a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!

Episode 46 - Bloodsucking Bastards/Sinister 2

Strap in and get ready for another long one (that's what he said?).Taylor was absent for this episode. So in his stead, Tony's dad, John, returns to the show for the first time since Episode 16! As you might remember from that one, John has a lot to say, so we have a lengthy episode for you again. They stayed... mostly on topic.We start off with a fresh batch of Horror Business. In Real World Horror, tragedy strikes the horror world with the death of a legend, and a nutcase forces children to watch a movie about a nutcase. A surprising (see: disappointing) bit of casting news from the Ghostbusters set is explained. We cover sequel and remake news with updates on Trick 'r Treat 2, Jeepers Creepers 3, the Waxwork remake, and the former director of the IT adaptation speaks out.In typical Grave Plot fashion, we review two movies. First up is the sequel to the hugely popular film, Sinister. Aptly named... wait for it... Sinister 2. Does it live up to its predecessor? Next, we talk about the horror-comedy vamp flick, Bloodsucking Bastards. Did we laugh, or did we think it just sucked? (See what I did there?)Gather 'round, criss-cross applesauce, and hear all this and more on this exciting episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!P.S. Lately, it seems, it wouldn't be a GPP episode if there weren't some technical issues, so we apologize for the intermittent static. It cuts out about an hour or so in.

Episode 45 - Lost After Dark/The Curse of Downers Grove/Ben Rock

It's time! It's time! It's Grave Plot Podcast time! We kick off this lengthy episode with our thoughts on the late Wes Craven. He was a legend and has left a Freddy Krueger sized hole in our hearts. In Horror Business, we discuss real world horror stories about a hooded figure in North Carolina leaving meat at playgrounds (UPDATE: mystery solved) and a real life blood rave in Amsterdam (using 1,300 gallons of blood and not the mere 13 gallons that Taylor says in the story). We then discuss a pair of acquisitions by FOX and Warner Brothers, as well as a new exorcism movie from the makers of Starry Eyes, a new graphic novel from John Carpenter, an animated series based on "Castlevania III," and updates on "American Horror Story: Hotel." We then have a conversation with Ben Rock, creator and director of the web series "20 Seconds to Live." This is longer than our usual interviews, but it's chock-full of good stuff. Ben gets into his experiences in film school, working on The Blair Witch Project, and working with Adam Green and Tom Holland. You should definitely listen to this one. We close things out with our reviews, and this time around we selected The Curse of Downers Grove, written by "American Psycho" scribe Bret Easton Ellis. It's not quite what we expected, but... actually, just listen for yourself and find out. Our other selection was the 80's throwback slasher Lost After Dark. It's a fun little romp that… why am I telling you all this? Just listen to the episode. You'll like it.
