The Graveyard Shift Horror Podcast

Happy Easter to all our horror heads. we don't have zombie Jesus movies yet so slasher bunnies is what get to review. Unfortunately we don’t have a good one. if one does exist. but we get a good skit out of it. Easter Bunny Bloodbath (2010) was made in Canada for the budget of a down payment on a used Chevy. and the cast is mostly crew. but we do have 2 actual actors. not that it helps. but we got...

Its the return of the living Sheldon, as the former host returns as a guest, along with Ivan (from our Zombieland episode) to discuss the movie that contributed the brains desire of the dead to the zombie mythos. This is Mike and Ivan’s first time seeing it, so you get to hear some fresh perspectives. and obviously we comment on Linnea Quigley dancing. and Sheldon shares his first time seeing this...

We take a spring break at a lovely water park that's just down stream from a military test site. Whats the worst that could happen?

Apologies for the lateness. We had to put on our carbon Filtration masks, and inject our nano-probes to survive the Microsoft Conflict. Actually we botched the upload. and instead of a sexy kung-fu cyborg, we had a missing episode. But we’re back. and ready to talk about Jason X, the movie that was so bad nobody wanted to release for for 2 years. With a no star cast, and special effects as pleasin...

We have Sheldon back to join Mike and Eric talking about a beloved (by us) chapter in the Friday the 13th series. a touching end to the entire series. with homages to the past, and other horror references and the promise of a meeting with Freddy (that took a little while to materialize) this movie really carried a lot of finality. literally. its in the title. for the second time… so they REALLY me...

Ed Gein was a necrophile, cannibal, serial killer, and regarding home decoration, was like a cross between Martha Stewart and Morticia Addams . He was the inspiration for such cinematic legends as Norman Bates, Leatherface, and Buffalo Bill. This film starring Roberts Blossom, was the truest adaptation of his life and activities that we’ve seen thus far. Released in 1974, you will realize Buzz McA...

Eric and Mike take a bite out of Microwave Massacre, a cannibal comedy from the 70’s that got released in the 80’s. Most of the people in it never worked again and if you check this movie out (which you can on YouTube for free) you will see why. Jackie Vernon was the voice of Frosty the Snowman, and hearing a beloved characters voice saying and doing the things he does in this was….. disturbing. T...

Mike is joined by Bad Movie Ben to review The Video Dead. a stinker from the mid-80’s with high highs. but not many. its mostly low lows. We we hope you will enjoy how we watched this so you don't have to. but you can. cause it’s on YouTube for free. 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 ke...

What’s black and white and red all over? The 1958 Plymouth Fury from John Carpenters classic Christine. Based on a Stephen King novel, this film is a total hit. but we still find a few criticisms. 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 bonus perks, you c...

We take the Cronenberg classic film of mad science gone wrong. Wait that’s nearly all of them. OK this is the remake of the 1958 Vincent price movie, based on the 1957 short story, the Fly. Being a Cronenberg movie, we’re gonna love it and we’re gonna get gross. You’ve been warned. Also it created an unused love ballad not included in the soundtrack because it took away from the theme of the movie...

What do you get when you take a cast of C-Listers, with one veteran character actor, and make a movie about malevolent alien clowns, directed by 3 special effect artists with little directing experience? You get a cinematic gem that holds up after 30 years. 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...

Dario Argento directed a movie with Donald Pleasance in a wheelchair. Jennifer Connolly has command over insects. There’s a pig boy and a knife wielding chimp too. Music by Bill Wyman , Iron Maiden, and Goblin. How awesome is this movie? Far less than you would expect. Even than you’re thinking now. Even less than that. Just keep lowering your expectations. into the trash. And stomp it down. now y...

Welcome to the new year of horror, everyone. Mike is joined by Eric to kick off 2020 with the 25th anniversary of a classic, Demon Knight. We talk about the characters. demons, the special effects, and we see how Mike would fare as a keeper of the Key.

It’s the end of the season, the final movie of Christmassacre 2019. We WERE hoping to see Santa, until we saw Rare Exports (2010), then we saw more than enough Santa . Based on 2 shorts (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V65zvJHd120 and (Part 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMqMN9Bo0IE by Jalmari Helander & Juuso Helander, this inspired a feature film that swept NUMEROUS awards in man...

The Christmassacre is winding down but not over yet, as Jack Frost 2 finally gets its due. Will this live up to the hammy goodness of the original? Or will it wither under examination and melt like a ice cube in the tropics? Eric (2 bearded losers) joins Mike once more to see if the Mutant Killer Snowman still has it. We are hosted at Captivate where you can tip us to send us movie suggestions and...

We continue the Christmassacre as Eric (2 Bearded Losers and Schlocky Horror podcasts) joins Mike for a fantastic movie so exciting and terrible, we need to discuss it twice; here, and also on the Schlocky Horror Podcast with Johnny from Here’s Johnny reviews. We cover the killers that inspired the both Black Christmas films, and proceed to tear into this like Mom cookies. Enjoy :) We are hosted a...

Mike is rejoined by Ben from the Playing with Power podcast to ring in the month of Dismember for another Christmassacre! This year we kick it off with Santa’s Slay (2005) starring Bill Goldberg as the true Santa who after paying his penance for 1000 years can finally break bad and deliver holiday fear. He knows if you’ve been bad or good. He just doesn’t care. We are hosted at Captivate where you...

We finish up our Brain Dead double review with the actual good version. Braindead (1992) AKA Dead Alive in America because of last weeks movie, features a man with an overbearing mother dealing with a zombie uprising in the absolute worst ways possible leading to a final showdown that carries the honour of the MOST fake blood used. We had a blast and encourage you to watch this film. We are hosted...

We were told to watch Brain Dead and not given a year. so we decided to do BOTH early 90’s with that title. the first Brain Dead (1990) starring the 2 Bills everyone gets confused, Paxton AND Pullman in a sci-fi thriller written 25+ years before it was shot, most likely for broadcast TV, and definitely for a different type of director. But can it overcomes these hurdles? We are hosted at Captivate...

It’s Peter Cushing and Nazi Zombies besieging an island resort! What could go wrong? Well besides everything. We watched Shock Waves (1977) at the behest of our guest, comedian Scott White, and learn that Peter Cushing remained classy and awesome during the shooting of this film while barely finishing grieving, and many more awesome tidbits of a movie that Mike could have made better. and that’s s...

We are joined on Skype by musician/ stand up comic/ actor Theo Manhattan to discuss a movie near and dear to him, the 2016 highly acclaimed isolation /paranoia supernatural horror, The VVitch. does this cast a spell on us, or end up lacking hex appeal? or is it a mixed bag, like toad eyes, herbs, cat poop and wolfsbane? Facebook: Theo Manhattan Instagram: themostrelatableman We are hosted at Capti...

HEEEEEEEEEEEEY KIIIIIIDS!!!!! We decide to deliver some something sweet and bite sized for you good boils and ghouls with a TV Special from the past that still holds up great! Released in 1985, Garfield’s Halloween Adventure was a perfect blend of funny and scary with Lou Rawls! also its free on youtube!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqVUOfTavI0 you’re welcome! We are hosted at Captivate where...

We burn Rubber (2010) as we watch the movie of a killer tire that deviates from all expectations, and therefore meets none. A psychokinetic tire that just rips off Scanners, a director with delusions of Monty Python by way of Tom Savini, a sheriff who breaks the 4th wall.. maybe a 5th and 6th…. and one broken cohost. We are hosted at Captivate where you can tip us to send us movie suggestions and...

We’re going to a showdown as we partake in Maniac (1981) as Joe Spinell goes on a scalping spree taking out models and hookers in the late 70’s. it was good enough for a remake starring Elijah Wood, is it good enough for the Graveyard Shift? 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 sh...

Mike is joined by both names on the Tombstone as Sheldon returns to see how we’re handling the show in his retirement as we cover Silver Bullet (1985), a drastically underrated classic movie that has Gary Busey as the best/worst uncle to ever live, a family that gets along in a Stephen King story, and a wheelchair that should have got more screen time. We are hosted at Captivate where you can tip...
