The Grave Plot Podcast

Episode 128 - Jennifer's Body/Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Once more around the bend we go with another new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast.
February is Women in Horror Month and before time runs out, we want to honor the occasion with reviews of female directed, and led, films. Tune in to hear our thoughts on Karyn Kusama's Jennifer's Body and the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer, directed by Fran Rubel Kuzui.
We also, naturally, have our Horror Business segment, including a Real World Horror story about a booby trapped house that almost ended tragically. Apparently that's what they call "Home Alone, Philly style." Okay, then. We also talk about the announcement of a sequel to one of our favorite films from last year, Terrifier. There's also talk about Netflix adapting a new story by Joe Hill, a reboot of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?," and we try to make sense of the Alien universe. Finally, we discuss the 60s kid show "The Banana Splits." You'll see why.
So hunker down and help us celebrate Women in Horror Month with our brand new episode.

Episode 127 - X-Ray/Lovers Lane

Happy Valentine's Day, lovers! We hope you are all snuggled up with someone close to you because for the first time ever, we're not close to each other. That's because we're doing this episode remotely from opposite ends of the frozen tundra that currently is the Puget Sound region. But fear not, sweethearts, we've got a gift for you that's better than a box of chocolates. It's a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!
Check out our holiday-themed movies as we review the films Lovers Lane and X-Ray (which doesn't sound like a Valentine's Day movie unless you go by its other name, Be My Valentine, or Else... Oh, and it's also called Hospital Massacre and Ward 13). These movies feature plenty of love, cherubs, romance, and blood and guts. Only part of that is true.
We also have some sweet, sweet Horror Business for you, including a Real World Horror story about a rich neighborhood turned on its head by a grisly discovery inside a suitcase. We go on to discuss the updated plans for the Universal monsters as well an update on the sequel to Halloween. We also talk about a new zombie film from Zack Snyder plus latest on the new adaptation of Stephen King's "The Stand" and Chucky's trip to the small screen.
So grab a loved one and cuddle up with a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast.

Episode 126 - Goal of the Dead/Fatal Games

Doo doo da doo da doo! CHARGE into a brand new episode of the Grave Plot Podcast dedicated to sports horror!
First up we talk about the closest thing we'll ever get to Adam and Joe from Holliston, Massachusetts' film Shinpads, the French soccer zombie film Goal of the Dead. When they score, you die. No, wait, wrong tagline. "Football is a team game... not survival!" What? That's terrible. Anyways, we also discuss the 1984 slasher film Fatal Games, about a deranged javelin thrower offing teenage Olympic hopefuls. I mean... with a premise like that how can it NOT be good, right?
We've also got a whole pregame of Horror Business. We kickoff with Real World Horror, where we talk about a Florida man attempting to kill his neighbors with kindness. We go on to discuss next year's Ghostbusters sequel as well as yet another installment in Nicolas Cage's tour of the horror genre. We also talk about a couple new TV series, namely a pilot based on The Lost Boys and a Resident Evil series coming to Netflix, plus updates on Shudder's Creepshow.
So lace up your sneakers, grab your sweatbands, and let's get out there and WIN!

Episode 125 - Hell Fest/Between Worlds

Get hype for episode one-and-a-quarter of The Grave Plot Podcast!
Are you thoroughly hype? Okay then, let's begin. 
We start things off with a life-imitating-art Real World Horror story about a scene from the new movie Escape Room that seemingly jumped off the screen and ended up in five people dead. In Horror Business, we talk about the new season of Netflix's "Stranger Things," as well as sequel news for A Quiet Place and Zombieland. We also talk about new prequel novel to "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" and close things out by trying to figure out why they are rebooting Final Destination.
In our film reviews, we talk about the amusement park slasher Hell Fest, as well as the not-really-horror-but-kind-of-a-thriller-and-kind-of-supernatural-plus-it-has-Nicolas-Cage-so-screw-it film Between Worlds. All this as well as our usual brand of referential humor, dick jokes, and dumb stories await you.
So tune in and enjoy another irreverent episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!

Episode 124 - Demon Knight/Bordello of Blood

We kick 2019 off with our first ever salute to the "Tales From the Crypt presents" films! We start out with the extremely blue film Demon Knight and Tony reveals some things about himself and one Billy Zane. We then move on to hobble our way through the much less enjoyable Bordello of Blood, starring Dennis Miller for some reason. All this hosted by everyone's favorite pun-making puppet, the Crypt Keeper. 
Before we get to the film reviews, however, you know we've got Horror Business for you! In Real World Horror, we tell you about a #FloridaMan who burned down his house because vampires. Naturally. We go on to discuss a potential re-remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street as well as the latest from the director of the Creep films and the latest season of "Slasher." We wrap things up by wondering what the future holds for the Alien franchise.
So listen up, kiddies! It's sure to be a scream! AAAAAHAHAHA!
(That was the Crypt Keeper, you have to read it as the Crypt Keeper)
