Episode 38 - Crypticon Seattle 2015: a retrospective

Hey there friends. It's time once again for our annual look back at the Crypticon Seattle horror convention. We went to the largest gathering of the macabre in the Pacific Northwest this weekend and we break down all the sights, sounds, and smells from the event. We, unfortunately, didn't get around to doing interviews this time, but luckily it's because the event was so crowded. It's great to see more people supporting the genre and we'll take that over talking to some celebrities any day. With that said, we tell you about some of the panels we saw, including the best movies of 2014, immortality as a plot device, Twin Peaks (featuring Sheryl Lee and Sherilynn Fenn), the Soska sisters, and Ken Foree. Crypticon is always a great event and if you get the chance to go next year, you definitely should. And come find us and say hi!

So sit down, strap in, shut up, and tune in. It's go time.

Episode 35 - Clown/Roadside

This episode has been an adventure. As you know, this episode was originally supposed to air last week. However, due to some technical difficulties, we had to postpone it a week. We then re-recorded it, only to have a terrible clicking noise appear 20 minutes in and last throughout. It was even worse than the original, so we decided to try our best to edit the first take. It's not pretty, but we didn't want to leave you guys with nothing. So here it is. In Horror Business, we discuss several rumors, including a potential Blair Witch 3 that may already be in production, Rob Zombie potentially penning an animated prequel to The Hills Have Eyes, and the theory of not one but two more Evil Dead movies being made. We delve into TV with discussions on two projects from Wes Craven, a long-gestating American Psycho series being discussed again, casting for Preacher, and one last hail Mary for Constantine. We go on to review the newly released, yet made in 2012, movie from Eric England, Roadside. We also tackle the ridiculous, yet oddly compelling, Clown. So climb aboard and let's ride this train straight to Hell. We apologize for the quality and believe us when we say this won't happen again.

Episode 34 - WolfCop/Dead Rising: Watchtower/Fred Carlini

It's time, once again, for a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast. In Horror Business, we've got some sad news about a few genre stars that recently passed, but it's not all bad news. We've also got a new movie from the creator of Friday the 13th, a new monster movie being picked up by FOX, a collaboration from two big names, and rumors of a sequel to It Follows. We've also got got TV news about Twin Peaks and an upcoming Suspiria show. We also got a chance to talk to Fred Carlini of Bright Light Media, the company behind a new 80s horror based board game called Mixtape Massacre. The game looks and sounds incredibly bad ass and they are looking for funding via Kickstarter as we speak. So listen to the interview, check out the website, and make it happen! In our reviews, we discuss the Canadian horror/comedy werewolf flick WolfCop as well as the zombie video game adaptation Dead Rising: Watchtower. We also review the short film El Gigante with Max Zaleski from Wrestling With Subtitles and The Wrestling Game. We then close out the show with a new segment called Plot Holes. So give it a listen and if you enjoy it, leave us a review on iTunes or Stitcher.
