Octoberama 2014, Vol. 5: Haunted Nightmare at the Nile/Georgetown Morgue

Hello everyone and Happy Halloween! Welcome to the second annual Grave Plot Podcast Halloween Special! Taylor of Terror takes over lead hosting duties this time around, with SkeleTony off gallivanting around on the east coast with his new wife. In Tony's place, however, is the newly dubbed "Carlos Muertos," aka Carlos Rodela from the Video Game Break podcast. Taylor and Carlos start things off with a bit of Halloween Horror Business, including a real-life story ripped right off the screen, with the story of Barrett Township in Pennsylvania cancelling Halloween because of a killer on the loose. The boys also discuss fictional killers such as Michael Myers, whose new film (tentatively titled) Halloween 3 has received a new script. Rob Zombie is not involved, will it be better or worse? We'll see. Speaking of sequels, the 20-year-old Ice Cream Man is looking to continue its story, and they need your help. We also continue the new tradition known as "They're Remaking That? Really?" with a discussion on what Eli Roth movie is being retold. Speaking of Eli Roth, we also discuss the new TV show that Roth is producing, as well as directing the pilot for, "South of Hell." While we're on the subject of TV, we discuss "The Walking Dead" and "American Horror Story" and how those two worlds may be colliding. We close out Horror Business with a couple zombie stories, including a new movie from George Romero (but not the one you think), as well as more casting updates for Dead Rising: Watchtower. For our reviews, we went a little different this time. Instead of doing movies, we decided to review haunted attractions. Carlos tells us about the scariest, as well as the funniest, haunts he's ever been to, and Taylor regales stories from his time working at the King County Scaregrounds. Tony even calls in with some haunt reviews from the east coast. We close out with prerecorded reviews from Tony and Taylor, reviewing the Haunted Nightmare at the Nile, as well as the Georgetown Morgue. So light your jack-o-lantern, cuddle up under your blanket fort and prepare for the 2014 Grave Plot Podcast Halloween Special!

Octoberama 2014, Vol. 4: Feast/Frankenstein

We wrap up our weekly theme shows with the fourth week of Octoberama, the week of the monster. We cut out the Horror Business again and go straight to the reviews. This episode features a couple of films with inhuman beasts, namely Feast and the 1994 adaptation of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. This one is a personal favorite of ours so make sure you do yourself a favor and have a listen. Don't forget, next week is our Halloween special and you're not going to want to miss that! So enjoy week of the monster and we will see you in a week!

Octoberama 2014, Vol. 3: Skin Walkers/Dog Soldiers

Welcome once again to Octoberama! For week three of this big event, we present you with the week of the werewolf. As such, we present you with two werewolf movies, namely Skinwalkers and Dog Soldiers. While vastly different, the two movies are also very similar in that they both feature lycanthropic monsters. We give our take on both and give them a rating. Before we can get to that, however, we have to take care of Horror Business. We start off with some real world horror, including a true-to-life Hannibal Lectar as well as the discovery of Draula's dungeon. We then move on to the world of fiction, but stick with Dracula as we discuss how Dracula Untold is going to be the springboard for a whole new Universal Monsters world. We close out the vampire section with a discussion about a remake of I Am Legend. We then move to discuss zombies, including The Walking Dead, the new Uwe Boll picture Anger of the Dead, the sequel to Zombieland, and updates on the movie adaptation of Dead Rising. We then discuss the future for the Soska twins, as well as the iOS game The Drowning. We move on to the return of the Twin Peaks, as well as updates on Amityville: The Awakening, The Purge becoming a trilogy, The Green Inferno, and Cannibal Holocaust. We close out with a ton of updates about the new Ghostbusters movie. So enjoy the new episode, and pray there's not a full moon. Aoooooooo!

Octoberama 2014, Vol. 2: The Dead/Night of the Living Dead (1990)

Welcome back to Octoberama! It's week two, the week of the zombie. This is one of our minisodes, so we skipped Horror Business this week and went straight for the reviews. Our reviews this time around are 2010's African undead epic The Dead as well as the Tom Savini-directed remake of Night of the Living Dead from 1990. Today also marks the one year anniversary of The Grave Plot Podcast. It's hard to believe we started this crazy dance 365 days ago but here we are.

So enjoy this week of the undead and stay tuned next week for week of the werewolf!

Octoberama 2014, Vol. 1: Stake Land/Fright Night

Welcome to the first ever Octoberama, presented by the Grave Plot Podcast. What is Octoberama, you may be asking? It's a new episode every week in October. With special minisodes interspersed between full episodes, each week having a special theme. Today's theme is vampires. In celebration of the fanged creatures, we review Stake Land and the original Fright Night from 1985. We discuss vampire lore and how it has changed throughout the years. We even dive a little bit into the Fright Night remake. Before we get to that, though, we must attend to Horror Business. We start out with a couple of stories about remakes, including the Americanization of the South Korean revenge flick I Saw The Devil as well as the remake of the 90s teen scream slasher flick I Know What You Did Last Summer. In the "TV is the new remake" portion of our show, we discuss the possibility of Saw coming to the small screen. We then go on to discuss the new name for Paranormal Activity 5, which is The Ghost Dimension, for some reason. We go into the plot of the movie as well as the new due date, which is the old due date for Scouts vs. Zombies, which took it from Friday the 13th. It's a whole game of musical release dates. Speaking of release dates, we tell you about a pair of movies that have been completely pulled from release. We then discuss the upcoming sequel to the ORIGINAL I Spit On Your Grave from 1978. We then give you some more updates on both the next Friday the 13th movie, as well as the television show of the same name. Speaking of television, the Syfy network has a new movie coming out in the same vein as Sharknado. Finally, we introduce you to the newest members of GWAR. So enjoy the week of the vampire and the kickoff to Octoberama, the biggest month in Grave Plot Podcast history!

Our first review is the just released found footage film As Above, So Below, about the secrets of the city's underground catacombs. We follow that up with the abortion of a sequel known as An American Werewolf in Paris. We also spoke with the writer and director of the film Infliction, Jack Thomas Smith. Jack told us about the film, and how it differs from other found footage movies. He also spoke about his previous works and what the future holds for him.

We start off with a couple of non-fiction stories, including the reveal of the identity of Jack the Ripper after over a hundred years. We also discuss yet another Slenderman related crime, which leads into a discussion about media hype and the panic it can cause.

Episode 23 - Leprechaun/Leprechaun: Origins/Mike McMurran

Top of the mornin' to ya! Today's episode features a little luck of the Irish. We have a double-header of Leprechaun movies, including the original from 1993 and the brand new reboot, Leprechaun: Origins. There's not a lot of comparison but there's enough discussion to be more interesting than the movies themselves. We also got a chance to speak with writer/director/producer/craft services/driver Mike McMurran of Reel Phobia Productions. Mike discussed his previous short films Beneath and Demon Bitch, plus gave us all the details of his first full-length feature, Secret Santa. You can donate to the cause and help the movie get made by going to their Indiegogo page, located here. Even as little as $5 helps and gets you some cool prizes to say thanks. While we're on the subject of Christmas-themed horror movies, Michael Dougherty's Krampus has a release date. We wait with bated breath. We also await the new film from the director of Stitches, a film by the name of The Dark.  Speaking of new projects, there is a movie in the works that is being called The Expendables of final girls, called The Survivors. There's also a new writer attached to The Ring 3 and the Dead Rising movie adaptation gets a director. There's a couple of sequels being bandied about, including a third film in The Collector series and Rob Zombie is pondering the idea of another Devil's Rejects. Did someone say zombie? Because SpectreVision has picked up the rights to an "anthropological zombie movie" called Curse the Darkness. In addition, the Arnold Schwarzanegger zombie flick Maggie has been picked by Lionsgate and we break down the newest character on The Walking Dead. So grab your pint of Guiness and may the road rise to meet you. Erin go Bragh!

Episode 22 - The Purge: Anarchy/Deliver Us From Evil

Hey guys! Welcome to episode deuce-deuce of the Grave Plot Podcast! We start the show off on a somber note, discussing the recent suicide of Robin Williams. Robin was a bright light in this world and we're sad to see it go out. If you or someone you know is battling depression, please contact someone. We give you all the resources, and you can even contact us. We'll listen. Unfortunately, that's not the only death we talk about. In Horror Business, we discuss the passing of Marilyn Burns, best known as Sally Hardesty from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Speaking of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, we give you all the updates on the new prequel, Leatherface. We then go on to discuss the latest on Ghostbusters 3. There's good news and bad news. Speaking of trilogies, Blumhouse and Radius are set to release three movies from the Duplass brothers called Creep. We break it down. Want the latest on the Evil Dead universe? Well so does everyone else, including Jane Levy, the star of the remake. Is there going to be a sequel? A TV show? No one knows for sure. What we do know is that it finally appears like we'll be seeing Pride and Prejudice and Zombies hit the big screen. We tell you whose in it and where it's at in the process. There's also a pair of news stories about Resident Evil. The first is about a potential TV show called Arklay based on the series of games.

So pop us in your ear balls and enjoy another thrilling episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!

Episode 21 - Almost Human/Blood Runs Cold

After a short hiatus which saw one of us get married and one of us get another year older, the Grave Plot boys are back in the saddle. We ease back into things like a warm bath. To kick off Horror Business, we discuss the passing of makeup legend Dick Smith. We then bring some old habits by discussing not one but two upcoming movies from writer/director Kevin Smith. We briefly catch up on the latest American Horror Story: Freak show news, then update you on the latest news concerning Gremlins. We then move on to Broadway and discuss the American premiere of the American Psycho musical.

Tony didn't see the end of Blood Runs Cold so Taylor tells him about it (spoiler alert). He didn't miss much. So get over your withdrawals and indulge yourself in the grand return of the Grave Plot Podcast.

Episode XX - Torment/Compound Fracture/Jessica Cameron

Today, on a very special episode of the Grave Plot Podcast... Okay, so it's not really that special, unless you count the fact that it's our twentieth episode! Plus, we announce the winner of the first ever Remake Madness tournament! So I guess it is pretty damn special! Our two movie reviews this episode are about family, as demented as they may sometimes be. Up first we have Torment, about a family who attacks another family after the first family moves into the other family's home. Got that? The second selection features the long-awaited Michael vs. Jason matchup. Except, it's not Michael vs. Jason. While Tyler Mane does play a character named Michael, it's not the one from Haddonfield. And Tyler Mane plays William, not Jason. Regardless, those two take the screen together for the first time in the film Compound Fracture. Before we can get to that, though, we've got some Horror Business to take care of. We start off by catching you up on the Slender Man stabbings. We make the transition into the world of fiction gradually, introducing Through the Wormhole as it examines whether or not a zombie apocalypse could realistically happen. Speaking of zombies, we tell you the latest details about the new movie from Rob Zombie, 31. We then discuss the new trend in horror cinema, the re-remake, with The Omen being the latest victim. In the world of original remakes (is that a thing?), Japanese thriller Audition is getting adapted for American audiences. So that should be interesting. Or not. Up next we dive into the world of home video, discussing the straight-to-video release of See No Evil 2 as well as the new anthology box set of The Exorcist series and the special edition release of Night Breed. We also discuss the new season of the Netflix original series Hemlock Grove. We finish it off by breaking down the trailer for Dracula Untold and tell you when you can expect to see Insidious: Chapter 3 hit theaters. On top of all that, we also had the privilege of speaking to writer/director/actress Jessica Cameron. Jessica tells us how she got started in the business, how she came to start directing, the story behind Truth or Dare, updates on her new movie Save Yourself, and tales of hot tub trespassing. It was a very fun interview so we hope you have as much fun listening as we did recording. So enjoy our twentieth episode with the ones you love. Stay thirsty, my friends.
