The Graveyard Shift Horror Podcast

1986 was a strange year. 3 movies about robots coming to life came out and we’re gonna cover 2 of them. The first of which was just what seemed like a teenage love story but then Wes Craven couldn’t forget he’s a horror director who also clearly never touched a computer. This was like a more realistic version of weird science. also Mamma Fratelli dies explosively. so it’s not all bad :) Eric revie...

Mike is joined by return guest and horror bookworm/novelist Alex Brown, to discuss a Canadian cult classic about puberty when you get new interests, and hair growing everywhere. And a tail. And fangs. and you leave a trail of corpses. You know. The usual coming of age flick involving about sisterhood. Find Alex @: TikTok , Facebook Twitter Instagram Eric reviews movies (not just horror) with his b...

With Halloween Month starting, we decided to celebrate with some awesome guests and our first is Cynthia ZQueen Bonner, renowned makeup artist and just all around horror lover extraordinaire, and the return of the first co-host, Sheldon. We discuss someone who had a worse prom than high school students in a pandemic. This gets wild. You’re in for a treat. Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/U...

Another classic from the VHS rental days of young Mike, this revisited movie about a man-eating alien who visits little Italy. does it hold up to his memories? does it hold up at all to Eric? Will there be a schism that fractures the friendship? probably not. but also we have our first caller so there’s surprises all over. Eric reviews movies (not just horror) with his buddy Frenzy on the 2 Bearde...

Everybody loves a clown. Especially this weeks special guest making her podcast debut, Toni Vingle. With a love of horror that equals her passion for art, we tackle her favorite horror movie, IT Chapter 1. Treat yourself by visiting her social links, behold her awesome talent, and support it at her Etsy store! Graveyard Shift Approved :) www.instagram.com/tvart7 https://twitter.com/tvingle7/status...

How could we talk about what lies beneath our feet without getting to the movie that defines the terror of not being able to trust the ground itself, Tremors?

The Summer of Sand continues! We have not left the beach, nor have we run out of white blonde women and douchey dudes pursued by what lies beneath. But we do get to see the Hulksters pride and joy showing her curves as much as a needlessly PG movie will allow. Also appearing is a totally not at all real descendant of the famed writer and all around nutcase pederast alcoholic Edgar Allan Poe. We ar...

Mike and Eric continue the summer of sand as the spiritual successor to Blood Beach is up for discussion. Does it surpass the original or will Eric have to concede the original was better? its one of those things. Listen in and find out! We are hosted at Captivate where you can tip us to send us movie suggestions and theme months. If you would like to make continued support to help keep the show g...

Mike and Eric begin the Summer of Sand as we take in the horrors of the beach with Blood Beach as the first sand based horror we know of. not the greatest as we all have a better movie in mind. but this did some things right. We are hosted at Captivate where you can tip us to send us movie suggestions and theme months. If you would like to make continued support to help keep the show going and get...

Eric is nowhere to be seen as Mike is joined by former Radio Haver owner , Drew Carson, and Hollow9 runner Dave Maresca to discuss the 2004 Classic remake that pays a loving homage and introduced us to Zach Snyder We are hosted at Captivate where you can tip us to send us movie suggestions and theme months. If you would like to make continued support to help keep the show going and get access to b...

We finish the patriotic horrors with a rapid fire comedy onslaught. Barry Bostwick as FDR: American Badass, and Ray Wise as Douglas MacArthur. a wartime horror in the sense it has werewolves, but otherwise its a slapstick adventure with a streetwise president that won’t stand for the Axis. well. or for anything….. you know…because of the polio. Eric reviews movies (not just horror) with his buddy...

We continue the patriotism month with a movie that has Lincoln in it. but not in a starring role this time. and we finally get closure on a certain thing. Uncle Sam starts off like a cheesy jingoistic slasher but then surprises us with some insightful heart to heart moments. Needless to say, we are pleasantly surprised. We are hosted at Captivate where you can tip us to send us movie suggestions a...

well we enjoyed Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, so another horror movie about him must be good right? you might be surprised. This is our first Asylum mockbuster and we decided to see how the brand X version compares to the original.

We needed a different bearded saviour to fight vampires after JCVH left us hungry, so as we end pride month and begin the 4th of July, we decided its time for presidents to get their due, for uniting a nation in times of crisis while fighting the supernatural. What do you get when you let Tim Burton and his various aliases conspire to have the greatest president fight the undead and the scourge of...

Pride Month of 2020 comes to an end with 2001 Maniacs! As the confederate statues are getting taken down, as they should, the south is rising with Mayor Buck and his sons of varying intelligence to dispense some southern hospitality for guts and glory. Directed by Tim Sullivan but with less music than “i was a teenage were-bear” this is a rip roaring, hooting hollering good old time, and a strong...

Jesus Christ has returned, to save the lesbians of Ottawa, in an exploitation flick that was shot on weekends over 2 years. Mike is dropping names like the guy in an infomercial that can’t carry what he needs and laments the lack of a better way. Eric from the 2 Bearded losers Podcast joins him in celebrating pride month and the life of the luchadore you want by your side when facing Vampires, San...

Week 3 of Pride Month 2020 gives us the 70’s and 80’s of queer horror history and the movie of discussion is Chillerama. a mixed bag of pastiches of the 30’s, 50’s, 60’s and 80’s by 4 directors and several cameo appearances by celebrities and porn stars. With ups and downs and one exceptionally continuous high, this anthology movie may not be for everyone but it’s got something for everyone. and t...

Eric joins mike for week 2 of Pride Month 2020 as we continue celebrating queer cinema with history lessons, and a long painful look at a long painful film. The hunger (1983) is an AIDS metaphor with David Bowie and has a lesbian scene in it, but is that enough to save this artsy fartsy tripe? take a guess. We are hosted at Captivate where you can tip us to send us movie suggestions and theme mont...

It’s Pride Month and we’re celebrating it on the Graveyard Shift. Queer actors, queer themes, and queer horror contributions over the last century will get their due. We will shine a light and celebrate those that either lived openly or had to code their characters. From lesbian vampires that existed before Dracula, to the story of B&W movie legend James Wales, to lesbian ghost movies, the pas...

Mike is joined by Eric to celebrate the birthday of triplets… from 3 separate mothers. during an eclipse. For a slasher with NO twists , and a ripoff from Children of the Damned, it has a lot of things going for it. Not to mention naked Julie Brown. yes. the Goddess in Progress that brought us Earth Girls Are Easy, while warning us the Home Coming Queen had a gun, who loved them Big and Stupid. Th...

Mike is joined by Eric this week as we take in a lockdown horror from Canada that is as cheap as it is amazing and entertaining. Proof that you don’t need a budget at all to make something compelling, this has a unique take on the zombie apocalypse and really plays on isolation and other isolation like isolation, isolation, isolation, isolation, isolation, isolation….. We are hosted at Captivate w...

Johnny joins Mike to watch and review the sequel to an amazing movie. not so amazing follow up. what follows one f the best movies is one of the worst movies that undoes the originals most important elements and has James Earl Jokes as discount Jimminy Cricket. sigh. but at least we have a hilarious death. We are hosted at Captivate where you can tip us to send us movie suggestions and theme month...

What do you get when you take a recovering coke head horror writer, hit him with a van, forcing him to take Oxycontin, and then let him write? you get a jumbled up mess about British aliens spore clouds that are being hunted by Morgan Freeman while 4 psychics have no freaking idea how to handle it and a special needs person needs to save them cause hes special in ways that don’t involve lifelong f...

We fall in love with the GOODEST of good boys, as a German Shepard named Thor protects his pack (played by Mason Gamble and Mariel Hemingway) from a werewolf (Micheal Pare) and its a battle of beast of pure instinct.

Mike is joined by Damon, creator of the horror social network app Slasher ( https://slasher.tv/ ) to discuss one of his fave recent horrors, Velocipastor. and boy. its…something. An absurd comedy that doesn’t deny its limited budget but revels in it. But is being THIS MUCH tongue-in-cheek enough to survive Mike’s critique? well lets say Mike put as much wit into that rhyme as the director did with...
