The Grave Plot Podcast

Episode 173 - Willy's Wonderland/Saint Maud

Weeeeee're baaaaack! After taking a break off for the 2021 Grave Plot Film Fest, we're back to our regularly scheduled program.
Today's episode gets a little off the rails at times, with asides featuring The Avengers, geography, and the best way to trim your pubes (use code GRAVEPLOT for 3% off the Bush Buster 5000). When we finally get down to business, Horror Business that is, we discuss lifeforms that "shouldn't be there" found in the Arctic in Real World Horror. We go on to discuss The Last of Us casting for the upcoming HBO series, a new Addams Family series coming to Netflix from Tim Burton, and how Neil Blomkamp spent his summer vacation. We also chew over a JJ Abrams project that's Subject to Change as well as the return of Brittany Snow to the horror genre.
For our film reviews, we have a conversation about two highly talked about movies. First up is the slow burning religious thriller known as Saint Maud, about a born-again Catholic looking to save the soul of a dying dancer. It's a brooding, serious film. Our other review goes to the opposite of the end of the spectrum, with the a caffeine-fueled Nicolas Cage fighting animatronic killer animals in Willy's Wonderland.
Find out our thoughts on these films and much more with a new episode of the one, the only, the incomparable Grave Plot Podcast!

We also talk about a much more analog game from some of the creators of Halloween Horror Nights in the form of card game "Oh, The Horror!" We then discuss a new Alien series coming to Hulu, a new high school horror film from the filmmakers of Ready Or Not, and a reboot of True Blood.
We then jump into our Hanukkah horror film reviews with the holiday themed slasher named, aptly, Hanukkah as well as the new telling of the Jewish myth known as The Golem. While this episode isn't quite eight nights, it is a long one but it's a fun one. Hope you enjoy.
Happy Hanukkah to all those celebrating from The Grave Plot Podcast!

We then take a look at the film Video Nasty, being produced by Seth Rogen. Our Shudder coverage continues with a story about the return of the television series "Slasher." We also have some conversation about sequels to A Quiet Place and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, the return of Neil Marshall to the horror genre, oh, and an unnecessary amount of talk about eating ass.

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.
