The Grave Plot Podcast

Episode 208 - Don’t Fuck in the Woods 1 & 2

Gather 'round, kiddies, and hear a tale. A tale of sex, debauchery, and murder most foul.
Actually... wait. Hold that thought. First let's talk about some Real World Horror. With all the recent issues with police killing people in the streets, perhaps it's time to finally ask: should we employ robot police... to kill people in the streets? San Francisco says yes.
From the makers of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey and Peter Pan: Neverland Nightmare comes the latest fairy tale horror, Bambi: The Reckoning. Yes, these are all very real movies. We also want to tell you about one of our favorite horror directors moving studios, and what project he's looking to tackle next. We then talk about Saw 10 and Scream 6 because I guess we have to.
Now, about that tale... well, let me start off with some advice. DON'T, and I mean do not, I repeat... Don't Fuck in the Woods. You never know what kind of sex-hating tree monster or mutant slug is hiding in the trees, ready to slash your throat or just climb down inside it and turn you into a bloodthirsty ghoul.
Now run along and play, it's time for the grown ups to have some alone time.

Episode 207 - Barbarian/My Best Friend’s Exorcism

Uhhhh this is your captain speaking uhhhh. We'll be taxiing the jetway for another few hours or so, uhhhh, this might be a good time to fire up the latest episode of the, uhhhh, Grave Plot Podcast.
Up first is that good ol' fashioned Real World Horror, all about a group of Colombian school children who messed with a Ouija board and ended up sick and convulsing on the floor. In Horror Business, we talk about Paramount and Universal going all in on horror with new hires and a merger of genre giants. We also discuss new books based on the series Are You Afraid of the Dark? as well two small-screen horror prequels, namely Crystal Lake and Welcome to Derry.
For our film reviews, we discuss the coming-of-age possession film My Best Friend's Exorcism, featuring Bash Howard as an 80s fitness guru for God as well as some teenage demon drama. Next up is Barbarian, a movie that will make you double check every inch of your next Airbnb.
So as we come in for a landing, put on your sleep mask and fire up your headphones for a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast.

Episode 206 - Hellraiser (2022)/Prey for the Devil

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
Octoberama is over (sad face) but The Grave Plot Express cannot be stopped! We're pulling away from the station and making periodic stops before our final destination. All aboard!
First stop, Real World Horror. Those exiting here will find a story about a creepy clown doll that its owner just couldn't handle and decided to burden their neighbor with. Next stop, Horror Business. Here you will find yet another remake of Night of the Living Dead, an update on the film adaptation of the novel Clown in a Cornfield, and a story about the video game Dead by Daylight being turned into a comic book series. There is also news on the film Natty Knocks, featuring a who's who of horror actors, and finally a return to the big screen for a prominent actress.
Finally, we roll into the last stop that is our film reviews. Up first is the new exorcism film Prey for the Devil, featuring the world's first ever female exorcist, as well as the 2022 re-adaptation of the book "The Hellbound Heart," better known as Hellraiser, featuring the world's first ever female Pinhead.
I'm sure this will all go smoothly. We've been referred to as a "train wreck" before but I'm pretty sure that's just a turn of phrase... right?

Octoberama 2022, Vol. 4 - Terrifier 2/Halloween Ends

Happy Halloween! The clock is about to strike midnight on Octoberama 2022 which means it's time to close things out with our annual All Hallow's Eve episode. Today we've got none of that horror business to get in the way of a very delicious treat. We're talking about the latest, and final, installment in the modern-era Halloween trilogy, Halloween Ends, as well as the movie that's got everyone talking, the return of Art the Clown in Terrifier 2.
So strap on those vacuum form masks and hike up those vinyl one piece costumes (80s kids will understand) because it's time to trick-or-treat with a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!

Octoberama 2022, Vol. 3 - Drag Me to Hell/Two Witches

Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting, Lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. Put the lime in the coconut and mix it all up. What do you get? Well you get Week of the Witch! Octoberama continues with the first ever witchy week, as chosen by our Grave Diggers on Patreon.
Before we get to all that, though, we've got to take care of Horror Business. Starting off in Real World Horror, we discuss a pair of women who saw an eerie glowing specter of Shia LeBeouf in a church. We then talk about multiple small screen adaptations of big screen films, namely Godzilla, Fear, Goosebumps, and The Wicker Man. We then wrap up with a Halloween update to the video game Back 4 Blood.
For our witchy reviews, we first look at Sam Raimi's 2009 return to horror Drag Me to Hell. We tell you the good, the bad, and the ugly. We then examine the new film Two Witches, about... two witches. Obviously.
So hop on your broomstick and hit the skies with a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!

Octoberama 2022, Vol. 2 - Wyrmwood: Apocalypse/Office Uprising

Batten down the hatches, bar the doors and windows, and sharpen your blades. Octoberama has risen from the grave for Week of the Zombie!
We don't even bother with Horror Business because we did that last week and we're very tired, but in order to survive we have to talk about the films Office Uprising and the sequel to the Australian undead movie Wyrmwood, titled Wrymwood: Apocalypse.
So make sure you've got plenty of shells and inject a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast directly into your BRAAAAAIIIIINS.

Octoberama 2022, Vol. 1 - The Night Watchmen/Byzantium

It's that time again. The time of year when leaves turn brown, the air gets crisp (well, usually), and pumpkin spice is in everything. That's right, it's time for Octoberama 2022!
We kick things off with Real World Horror, where we discuss who will prevail in the inevitable battle between Jeff Bezos's mech suit and Elon Musk's new robot army. Then, in Horror Business, we wonder if the talk of Trick 'r Treat 2 is real this time or if we're bound to be burned again. We also examine Tom Holland's new novelization of Fright Night... f'real, as well as reboots of Magic, Nosferatu, and The Crow. There are some big names attached to these and one of them is apparently already done shooting? Listen to find out all the details.
For our film reviews, it is of course Week of the Vampire! We've got two very different films tonally, but both featuring bloodsuckers. Up first is the dramatic Byzantium, including a clandestine vampire organization tracking down a mother and daughter who could upend their entire master plan. Up next is the much more comedic The Night Watchmen, about four... night watchmen, attempting to do their duty as minimum wage security guards by protecting their coworkers from a gang of undead clowns.
So put on your cape, comb your widow's peak, and rise from your tomb to listen to a bloody new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast! Blah blah-blah!

Episode 205 - Pearl/The Black Phone

Hello and welcome to The Grave Plot Podcast. We hope you've brought your appetite. We've got a whole plethora of delicious goodies for you today.
First, just to tease your palette, we've got some Real World Horror about a Polish vampire woman whose skeleton was discovered near Bydgoszcz. We then move on to the hors d'oeuvres, namely a lovely little assortment of Horror Business, including a sequel no one asked for, a spicy anthology film featuring a mix of Latin flavors, and some bite size Huluween treats. Finally you will find a fried remake to The Strangers, as well as a lead in to our main course.
That main course, of course, is the film reviews. We start out with Chef Scott Derrickson's take on a classic recipe by Joe Hill, The Blackened Phone - I mean, The Black Phone. We follow that with a playful little dish known as Pearl, which is part of Chef Ti West's X menu.
We hope you enjoy your meal.
There's no dessert.

Episode 204 - The Invitation/Men

Hey, ho, let's go. Who wants to party with The Grave Plot Podcast?
Grab some punch and join us for Real World Horror, where we head to a Canadian bible camp to talk about a counselor/exorcist who is definitely not a con artist and definitely cast very real demons out of campers.
Then in Horror Business, we talk about a couple of possible sequels (one of which has since been confirmed), namely Kevin Smith's Tusk 2 (now titled Tusk$), and the potential of a followup to Jordan Peele's Nope, which will definitely not be called "Nopebody." We then move from sequels to prequels as we discuss The First Omen, which takes place before the birth of the omen, which doesn't really make any sense but I digress. We then look forward to Joe Begos's new Christmas slasher as well as an update to Evil Dead: the Game.
Then for our film reviews, we head to a remote castle in Europe to a fancy pants wedding filled with blood sucking vampires with The Invitation. We then look at all of the evil Rory Kinnears in Alex Garland's Men.
So get down with your bad self as you enjoy a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!

Episode 203 - Glorious/Day Shift

elcome back to the zoo we call The Grave Plot Podcast!
 
We're late. We know. The sound sucks. WE KNOW.
 
Let's move on and get down to business. Horror Business, that is.
 
To start us off in Real World Horror, we take a trip south of the border to Mexico where a small town is being tormented by the presence of a fabled supernatural creature. Or maybe a fox. We don't know... SPOOKY!
 
The rest of Horror Business is the gift that keeps on giving with news of an upcoming British (innit?) slasher show that is sure to... quack... you up, meanwhile across the pond back in the colonies, another slasher just might be rising from the dead again. Next, we chat about some news revolving around the big screen adaptation of the post-apocalyptic survival thriller, Days Gone. Last, we round things out with some gaming news about the long awaited and long delayed sequel to the 2011 game Dead Island, and a new multiplayer offering based on the cult classic, Killer Klowns from Outer Space.We won't leave you hanging there! We've got two reviews for you! First we have a chat about the Shudder exclusive, Glorious, a touching story about a boy facing the end of the world with his pal, ZE GLORY HOOOOLE! (Go ahead and count how many times we say that). Second, we talk about Netflix's Jamie Foxx-led vampire suck-fest, Day Shift.
 
So sit back, relax, and let The Grave Plot Podcast gently caress your earballs.
