The Grave Plot Podcast

Hello ladies! This episode is dedicated to the females of the species because it’s the first ever Week of the Lady Killers! That’s killer ladies, featuring some of the most ruthless women ever caught on celluloid. This genre was chosen by our Patreon patrons. First things first, we kick off Horror Business with Real World Horror about a Wisconsin police officer who started a crew of gh...

This episode tastes like chicken. Grab a knife and fork because it’s time to take a big ol’ bite of the first ever Week of the Cannibal. There is no Horror Business appetizers with your meal, allowing you to feast upon today’s main course, featuring Wes Craven’s classic The Hills Have Eyes as well as possibly the most controversial film ever made, Cannibal Holocaust . We ho...

Six years. Six years we’ve been doing this song and dance. AND WE JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. Octoberama keeps shambling along as we celebrate Week of the Zombie with zombie comedies Shaun of the Dead and Fido . We always swore that Shaun of the Dead would be the first film we gave a 10 rating to. Did it hold up? Come listen in! But before that, we cover you with the sticky goodness...

Welcome, one and all, to the 2019 edition of Octoberama ! We’ll warn you that this episode sucks, because we kick things off with Week of the Vampire! This year’s selection specifically focuses on the most famous bloodsucker of them all – no, not Bill Barr – Dracula! We have no Horror Business today, but we do have a review of the most famous adaptation of the classic book,...

Hell yeah. We’re back with a devilish new episode! We kick things off with Horror Business and yes, Tony forgot to do the thing (this audio error gets corrected for the reviews). In Real World Horror, we talk about a new home renovation show featuring prolific house flippers, forensic scientists, and spiritual healers fixing up MURDER HOUSES. We go on to discuss some casting and character up...

This episode is no laughing matter as we’re headed under the big top for another tribute to creepy clowns. Before we get out the grease paint, though, let’s talk about some Horror Business. In Real World Horror, we talk about a Catholic school in Tennessee who, on the advice of real live exorcists , has decided that wizards are real and J.K. Rowling is trying to secretly raise an army...

Before summer ends, we’re going to head to camp. We’re saluting the classic summer camp slasher film in our brand new episode. Today we discuss the first appearance of Jason Voorhees as a hulking serial killer in Friday the 13th Part 2 , as well as the lesser known Madman Marz in Madman . Before that, though, we have to handle our Horror Business. In Real World Horror, we examine...

Gather ’round, kiddies, and hear a tale of macabre, mayhem, and murder most foul. Oh wait, no, this is The Grave Plot Podcast, where you’re more likely to hear a tale of dick jokes, dog farts, and dumbassery. In today’s tale, we talk about Japan’s mission to create a breed of giant rat-men to take over the world, or something, in Real World Horror. For Horror Business, we&#...

What up, fam? It’s lit up in here. We kick off today’s episode with news about next year’s Grave Plot Film Fest as well as a tirade about people wanting to mess with Halloween. In Real World Horror, we discuss the recent purchase of the real-life Conjuring house and its upcoming status as a tourist attraction. In Horror Business, we talk about the latest news on the Halloween fra...

Hello and welcome to the party. Suns out, guns out, buns out, and now there’s a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast out! We kick things off with a Real World Horror story straight of Stranger Things, as scientists in Tennessee are attempting to open a portal to another dimension. In Horror Business, we discuss the latest from director Mike Flanagan as well as a prequel to Gremlins ....

Happy birthday, America! Before you go out and celebrate our country by blowing up a small part of it, make sure to embrace your inner patriot with The Grave Plot Podcast! Without our usual Zima, we were forced to imbibe big ass cans of Four Loko. For America. So things got a little nutty. Our Real World Horror story this episode is vaguely relevant, as we discuss an alcoholic energy drink that is...

Frack yeah! We’ve got a new episode dedicated to the dangers of fracking (apparently)! We inadvertently picked two films that involve fracking and its consequences, namely unleashing sub-Earth dwelling creatures and raising the dead from their graves. Check out our reviews of Jim Jarmusch’s zombie comedy The Dead Don’t Die as well as the Simon Pegg and Nick Frost produced Slaught...

Okay, so first off let us apologize to those of you who were looking forward to our review of Godzilla: King of the Monsters . To paraphrase Dr. Ian Malcom, life, uh… got in the way. However, when we read articles about a Netflix movie that was making people sick, we thought “challenge accepted!” So enjoy our review of The Perfection as well as the previously advertised review of...

WARNING: Tony screwed up and this entire episode was recorded through a laptop mic instead of our fancy audio set up. So… sorry. Deal with it. Gear up Grave Plot faithful, because today we’re honoring the fine men and women of our National Parks Service in our first (and likely last) salute to Park Rangers. Listen in to our reviews of Jenn Wexler’s The Ranger and Roxanne Benjamin...

We have, once again, returned from the haunted halls of Crypticon Seattle. This year’s event was crawling with creatures of all sizes, from pint-sized Predators to a life-sized velociraptor. For us specifically, the weekend consisted of talking to a group of “modern monsters,” a debate on what is – and isn’t – horror, and a class on making your own Jason mask. S...

Well hey there folks! Good to see you once again for a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast! Did someone say folk? Well that’s a great tie-in for today’s episode, which is all about horror in folklore. We span the entire globe with the multi-national anthology The Field Guide to Evil , with fables spanning across Turkey, India, and even the good ol’ U. S. of A. We also tal...

Sometimes dead is better. You have to wonder if a film adaptation of Pet Sematary was best left alone, or if it could benefit from a fresh take. Well, wonder no longer because we are here to talk about the brand new adaptation of Stephen King’s famous novel. Speaking of the great Mr. King, we also discuss another one of his most famous adaptations, 1990’s Misery . Before all that, thou...

Don’t look now but we’re back once again with a brand new episode and we’re talking about the movie everyone is talking about. Only we do it with that trademark Grave Plot Podcast stank. Naturally we kick things off with Real World Horror, where we discuss the continuing search for extraterrestrials with none other than Blink-182 guitarist Tom Delonge. In Horror Business, we talk...

Yes lad, how’s about yee? In honor of the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day holiday, we head to the emerald isle for our annual tribute to Irish horror! In today’s episode, we feature a double dose of sin as we discuss the ghost story The Canal as well as the supernatural thriller  Let Us Prey . Both of this films feature Irish directors and were financed by the Irish Film Board. If you...

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 o...

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...

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!”...

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...

Happy new year boils and ghouls! We could sit here and resolve to be better, but who are we kidding? 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 B...

When the cat’s away, the mice will play and our cats are gone seeing some kind of magic show or something so we’re going to get a little crazy with an all new Drunken Cinema. You may have heard our review of Freddy vs. Jason already, but this is a film we’ve been wanting to do a Drunken Cinema of for a long time so why wait any longer? In honor of this battle of epic proportions,...
