The Grave Plot Podcast

Episode 196 - X/Fresh

Don't look now, but The Grave Plot Podcast is back again!
We roll out a brand new episode with Real World Horror, with a warning for the east coast about sky spiders raining down from above on tiny, terrifying parachutes. We follow up with a look at the upcoming It TV show, The Crow taking flight once again, and the next project from the director of Mandy. We also discuss Get Out's Daniel Kaluuya writing his own thriller as well as a board game based on Dead by Daylight.
For our film reviews, we head to the produce aisle to talk about the hulu original film Fresh. We then step into the wayback machine and step out into Texas in 1979 to watch some city folk get naked and flop around on top of each other, to deadly consequences, in Ti West's X.
So come along and ride on a fantastic voyage with The Grave Plot Podcast!

Episode 195 - Studio 666/Anything for Jackson

Are you ready to rock?
I said... ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?
We kick off the show with Real World Horror, all about a haunted item from Zimbabwe cursed with a demon that chases people and burns down homes. We then talk about the latest in the Alien franchise, featuring a well known name to horror fans. We then take a look at two projects that just won't seem to stay dead, both of which are ironically about ghosts. Finally we wonder why anyone would bother making a sequel to I Am Legend or yet another spinoff of The Walking Dead.
For our film reviews, we head to Encino, CA to see the unique recording process of the Foo Fighters, as they look to complete their new album in Studio 666. We then wonder what a grieving set of grandparents would do for love, and if they would do... THAT in the Shudder film Anything for Jackson.
Thank you, Cleveland! There will be no encore.

Episode 194 - Texas Chainsaw Massacre/The Long Night

Did ya miss us?
We're back from Spring... Summer? What day is it? Well anyway, we're back from break and ready to partay.
In Real World Horror, we take a look at a séance... in a pet store. Then in Horror Business, we break down the upcoming XXL season of Stranger Things, as well as a peek at what the future holds for the franchise. We also give some updates on Teen Wolf: The Movie, not to be confused with the movie Teen Wolf. In addition, we explore the possibility of a Zombieland 3, look at the latest additions to Dead by Daylight, and break down the controversial censorship of the game Martha is Dead.
For our film reviews, we watched the new Scout Taylor-Compton film The Long Night, about a mysterious history and a demonic cult. We also assess the latest Texas Chainsaw Massacre film and wonder if there's any juice left to be squeezed out of that orange.
So pop us in your ears and let's kick up the jams.

Episode 193 - Scream (2022)/The Last Thing Mary Saw

Little hand says it's time to rock and roll.
Come party with us as we kick out the jams of another brand new episode. First things first, we have an important announcement about this year's Grave Plot Film Fest. We then talk about some Real World Horror about a mysterious cattle mutilation in Argentina. Speaking of livestock, we move on to discuss a new spin-off of a popular franchise from the director behind Pig. We then examine Dario Argento's return to the giallo genre, an SNL member heading into horror, and a brand new monster from Shudder. We close out Horror Business with Hulu turning Bite Size Halloween into full size goodness.
For our film reviews, we deliberate over the new... sigh... requel of the Scream franchise, titled... Scream. And yeah, we talk about it. We also analyze the new Shudder period piece The Last Thing Mary Saw, about a young couple ostracized by a puritanical family. Hilarity ensues.
So jump in the pit and rage.

Episode 192 - Antlers/Superdeep

Hey... remember us? We're back in your life. You're welcome.
We ring in 2022 with a positive mindset and a big ol' bag of Horror Business. First up is Real World Horror, where we take a look at the mysterious fish storm of Texarkana, TX. In the world of fiction, we examine a new horror video game called VHS, the big screen adaptation of the Dear David story, and Keanau Reeves being cast in the H.H. Holmes story. We also discuss a sendup of Lifetime thrillers starring Kristin Bell as well as an allegedly shocking but not-all-that-shocking-sounding new horror series coming to Peacock.
For our film reviews, we discuss the new Shudder original Superdeep, about a big ass hole in the ground and the events that take place therein. We also have a conversation about "the new Guillermo Del Toro" film, which is neither written nor directed by Guillermo Del Toro, the wendigo story Antlers.
So get used to us again because we're here to stay. For now.

Episode 189 - Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin/Lair

Wakey, wakey, hands off snakey. It's time to HRISE AND SHINE with a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast upside your dome.
We kick off this episode in the normal way, ranting about soda and jury duty. Once we finally get into the nitty gritty, we talk about a Real World Horror story involving mysterious, possibly reptile or possibly polar bear, footprints found in a Venezuelan home. We then dig a little deeper with Horror Business, including a curious sounding horror film involving former WWE wrestler Windham "Bray Wyatt" Rotunda, as well as stories about Finn Wolfhard, Leonardo DiCaprio, and a sequel to Lifetime's Bad Seed. We then close out the segment by discussing a new series based on the film Fatal Attraction.
For our film reviews, we first look at the latest in the Paranormal Activity film franchise, the maybe-reboot known as Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin. We follow that up with the small budget demon flick Lair. There's a lot of demons in this episode, try to keep up.

Okay, so it's not the jungle, but Welcome to the Blumhouse. Or whatever. Today we're talking about two new movies in the film studio's latest slate, namely Luchagore's Bingo Hell and the brooding The Manor.
Up first though is Real World Horror, about a terrifying parasite (or is it a symbiont? I don't know, Tony will try and figure it out) that eats a fish's tongue and then BECOMES THE FISH'S TONGUE! In Horror Business, we talk about the new aquatic board game from the makers of Mixtape Massacre. Speaking of games, we also look at one of the video variety based on the films in the A Quiet Place series. We then examine a trio of zombie stories, including a famous one returning to Hocus Pocus 2, plus sequels to the Australian road movie Wyrmwood and Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead.
