The Grave Plot Podcast

October is over and it’s time to get back to our regularly scheduled program. Today’s episode features a pair of reviews with demonic undertones. First, there is the hellish musical The Devil’s Carnival , from Darren Bousman, the man behind Saw II and Repo! The Genetic Opera. This is followed by the movie Horns , about a man who awakes to find mysterious horns growing out of his...

Hello everyone and Happy Halloween! Welcome to the second annual Grave Plot Podcast Halloween Special! Taylor of Terror takes over lead hosting duties this time around, with SkeleTony off gallivanting around on the east coast with his new wife. In Tony’s place, however, is the newly dubbed “Carlos Muertos,” aka Carlos Rodela from the Video Game Break podcast. Taylor and Carlos st...

We wrap up our weekly theme shows with the fourth week of Octoberama, the week of the monster. We cut out the Horror Business again and go straight to the reviews. This episode features a couple of films with inhuman beasts, namely Feast and the 1994 adaptation of Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein . This one is a personal favorite of ours so make sure you do yourself a favor and have a listen. Don&...

Welcome once again to Octoberama! For week three of this big event, we present you with the week of the werewolf. As such, we present you with two werewolf movies, namely Skinwalkers and Dog Soldiers . While vastly different, the two movies are also very similar in that they both feature lycanthropic monsters. We give our take on both and give them a rating. Before we can get to that, however, we...

Welcome back to Octoberama! It’s week two, the week of the zombie. This is one of our minisodes, so we skipped Horror Business this week and went straight for the reviews. Our reviews this time around are 2010’s African undead epic The Dead as well as the Tom Savini-directed remake of Night of the Living Dead from 1990. Today also marks the one year anniversary of The Grave Plot Podcas...

Welcome to the first ever Octoberama, presented by the Grave Plot Podcast. What is Octoberama, you may be asking? It’s a new episode every week in October. With special minisodes interspersed between full episodes, each week having a special theme. Today’s theme is vampires. In celebration of the fanged creatures, we review Stake Land and the original Fright Night from 1985. We discuss...

Bonjour! Bienvenue à la Tombe Terrain de Podcast! Today’s episode is dedicated to Paris. Our first review is the just released found footage film As Above, So Below , about the secrets of the city’s underground catacombs. We follow that up with the abortion of a sequel known as An American Werewolf in Paris . We also spoke with the writer and director of the film Infliction , Jack Thom...

Top of the mornin’ to ya! Today’s episode features a little luck of the Irish. We have a double-header of Leprechaun movies, including the original from 1993 and the brand new reboot, Leprechaun: Origins . There’s not a lot of comparison but there’s enough discussion to be more interesting than the movies themselves. We also got a chance to speak with writer/director/produc...

The Remake Madness tournament is officially over. Thirty-two are now only one. After five rounds, Friday the 13th stands tall as the best horror remake, according to your votes. In lieu of cutting down nets, Jason Voorhees cut down 20-somethings in celebration. We, on the other hand, celebrated the only way we know how; getting piss drunk and watching the damn thing. In honor of this special episo...

Hey guys! Welcome to episode deuce-deuce of the Grave Plot Podcast! We start the show off on a somber note, discussing the recent suicide of Robin Williams. Robin was a bright light in this world and we’re sad to see it go out. If you or someone you know is battling depression, please contact someone. We give you all the resources, and you can even contact us. We’ll listen. Unfortunate...

After a short hiatus which saw one of us get married and one of us get another year older, the Grave Plot boys are back in the saddle. We ease back into things like a warm bath. To kick off Horror Business, we discuss the passing of makeup legend Dick Smith. We then bring some old habits by discussing not one but two upcoming movies from writer/director Kevin Smith. We briefly catch up on the late...

Today, on a very special episode of the Grave Plot Podcast… Okay, so it’s not really that special, unless you count the fact that it’s our twentieth episode! Plus, we announce the winner of the first ever Remake Madness tournament! So I guess it is pretty damn special! Our two movie reviews this episode are about family, as demented as they may sometimes be. Up first we have Torm...

For a while it seemed like episode 19 would go down as “The Lost Episode.” We first recorded it the day after a double header Drunken Cinema (HUGE mistake) and, despite the massive hangovers, it turned out pretty well. However, through no fault of our own, the audio was corrupted and irreparable. We recorded again on Wednesday and somehow, the file was again corrupted. This time, howev...

Two men enter. Two men leave. Several bottles of booze are left in their wake. Drunken Cinema is back with a vengeance. This time around we’re watching the 1987 classic from Sam Raimi and starring the incomparable Bruce Campbell, Evil Dead 2 .  If you’re thinking to yourself that you missed part 1, don’t fret. We didn’t do it. If you’re asking why not, just&#8230...

What up, homies? After our trip to Crypticon, we are back to the grind and Carlos Rodela from Video Game Break once again joins us. We’ve got a lot of Horror Business to catch up on, including some real world horror from Wisconsin where a pair of young girls sacrificed their friend to the fictional Slender Man. This will no doubt put horror in a negative light, but we’re pretty used to...

Hello boils and ghouls! Yep, that’s right, we used the trademark phrase used by The Crypt Keeper. The reason? We went to Crypticon Seattle last weekend and we got to meet and interview the man behind the corpse, John Kassir (pictured). We also got a chance to spend a few minutes with the Soska twins, Jen and Sylvia, the writers and directors of American Mary and the upcoming See No Evil 2.  ...

Uh oh, Drunken Cinema is back. In case you missed it the first time around, the premise is pretty self-explanatory; we get totally munted and record a DVD commentary track for you to listen to as you watch your favorite flicks. This time around, the flick in question is Trick ‘r Treat . If you’re thinking “hey, you already reviewed that in your Halloween special last year!”...

We are back with even more Stephen King excitement. We had so much info flowing that we couldn’t cram it all into one episode. Hopefully you got your fill of Horror Business in part 1. Now is the time for our reviews. We continue with the Stephen King theme by reviewing two adaptations of his books, It and Pet Sematary . But first, we have a special guest review. Our old buddy Carlos Rodela...

Long live the king of horror, Mr. Stephen King. Today we celebrate this master of the macabre with our biggest episode yet. To help us pay homage, Tony’s dad, John, joins us in the studio. John is a lifelong Stephen King fan and offers his own insight into the proceedings. This episode was so expansive we had to split it into two parts. In part 1, Mr. King finds his way into Horror Business,...

Hello again and welcome to another episode of everyone’s favorite game show… wait… what are we doing? Oh yeah, Grave Plot Podcast. We’ve got a special guest calling into the show today, Kevin Nesgoda from SonicsRising.com .  Kevin takes time out of his NBA Playoff watching to talk horror and review some movies.

Hello, friends. It’s okay, you’re here at The Grave Plot Podcast. One of our reviews this episode is a movie called Lucky Bastard . Dave gets to bang his favorite porn star. It does not go as expected. Hilarity ensues. Wait, that doesn’t sound right… Our other review has writer/director Adam Green bringing back “old school American horror” with his slasher flick...

Welcome to episode lucky number thirteen! We have another special guest in the studio today: Carlos Rodela, who has appeared in a multitude of web series, podcasts, and bands. He tell us about all his new projects and joins as we break down the Irish clown-horror Stitches and the 2011 “premake” of The Thing.  We give both movies the business. Speaking of business, we dive into Horror B...

We are starting a brand new segment here on The Grave Plot. It’s called Drunken Cinema and it’s exactly what it sounds like. We get toasted like marshmallows and record a DVD commentary. No recaps, no reviews, just slurred little nuggets about the movie. This will be a recurring but not regular event. More of a “bonus feature.” Volume 1 is Shaun of the Dead . In honor of th...

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, welcome to the first ever Grave Plot Podcast wrestling special! We’ve got a special guest tag team partner on the show today, Max Zaleski from Wrestling With Subtitles and The Wrestling Game . Max joins us for the whole show, including our wrestling-themed reviews; Wrestlemaniac and Monster Brawl . Before we get to the main event, t...

This one is for the ladies. We review two movies with female leads, American Mary , about a med school student who turns to a dark underworld, and Nurse , about a… well, nurse, who brings a dark underworld to the surface.  Both feature women who are a little south of normal. We also give you the business. Horror Business, that is.  We catch you up on the latest from Rob Zombie and Bret Easto...
