The Graveyard Shift Horror Podcast

This week we take on the Bird Box (2018) challenge and dare to watch the movie that has polarized the internet. Can the star power of Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich guarantee a movie worthy of their talents? Can Mike and Sheldon say anything that hasn't already been said? Can we find a third question to end this bit strongly? We are hosted at Captivate where you can tip us to send us movie sugg...

We are back with a new year of horror and we kick it off with a movie that, despite the name, it's not a Ninja Turtle prequel. This week we watched Splinter (2008).

Sheldon is busy moving, so Mike has to get help hosting from Eric, ( Hey Internet, Eric Here ) as we discuss Jack Frost (1997) not to be confused with the Micheal Keaton movie, or the Rankin Bass movies. With puns a plenty, and a scene that definitely is NOT #MeToo friendly, we talk about what this movie did right and wrong, and what prevented it from getting a trilogy (cause it DID get a sequel)...

This week the guys take a trip back to 1992 when the BBC pulled a Halloween prank on the nation with its mockumentary, Ghostwatch.

Wrestling fever grips the crew as they discuss Monster Brawl (2011), a film that stars several knockoffs of movie monster legends that slam, piledrive, chokehold, and graphically eliminate each other for fame, glory, and our personal amusement. Starring Dave Foley, Art Hindle, Jimmy Hart, Kevin Nash, Herb Dean, many wrestling stars and the best Adobe After Effects that an independent Canadian film...

Since we talked about the original War Of The Worlds radio play for our Halloween episode, we decided to stay on the same theme this week when we watched War Of The Worlds (1953). This movie is the gold standard of alien invasion films and has inspired Sci-fi for decades but does it hold up? Join us as we give it our breakdown treatment. We are hosted at Captivate where you can tip us to send us m...

80 Years ago this very night, a nation was riveted with news of an occurring alien invasion..... or so they thought. Since they tuned into the middle of the Mercury Theater on the Air, playing their dramatization of H.G Wells The War of the Worlds. Though announced properly, many people then were into the habit of channel surfing when their shows went to commercial, and so the show in progress was...

It’s nearly Halloween and we wanted to do something a little different (and did we ever do something different). We watched the 1970’s kids monster themed variety show, The Hilarious House Of Frightenstein! Sheldon used to watch this in rerun form in the 80’s but it was a new experience for Mike. Was it actually a good show or is it just a case of nostalgia? Listen to find out. Also, it has Vincen...

A reboot in the style that only Rob Zombie can pull off. Fans are divided in opinion about this grittier version of the Micheal Myers story but what does Sheldon & Mike think?

If you would like to make continued support to help keep the s...

This week we take on the black sheep of the Halloween movie franchise when we watched Halloween III: Season Of The Witch (1982). This movie takes a lot of flak for stepping away from the Michael Myers story-line but is it really a bad movie? Did it really ruin the franchise? Either way, Tom Atkins doesn't care what you think. Join us to hear our thoughts. We are hosted at Captivate where you can t...

Hey horror fans, the hiatus is over. We have returned just in time after dealing with threats to our personal well being in real life... With sex playing a major part in horror films, you know that we had to make the 69th episode very special. What better way to honor a sexually co-opted number than with the first English speaking movie to feature hot lesbian vampires? The Vampire Lovers (1970), f...

We had some stuff like power outages in Ottawa (Tornadoes are bad for power substations. lesson learned) so you benefit with another FREE patreon exclusive episode, this kicks off the Halloween season with the original John Carpenter classic duology that introduced us to Micheal Myers. Not the first masked psychopath in film, but definitely the quietest. we will resume our regular format next week...

Get a taste of what our paying Patreon members get with this formerly Patreon exclusive episode. In this one, the guys talk about their favourite movies from 10 horror sub genres. Enjoy.

We are hosted at Captivate...

This week we took on the Cronenberg classic, Rabid (1977). The movie with armpit butt-holes that shoot out blood drinking tentacles that turn people into zombies...

We quickly go from surreal nightmare to "what the hell is happening" real fast this week when we watched Tag (2015). Not to be confused with the 2018 Jeremy Renner film, join us as we struggle to comprehend exactly what are eyes are witnessing. Also, it stole the Walking Dead theme song so our ears were confused as well. We are hosted at Captivate where you can tip us to send us movie suggestions...

We've got more ghosts than you can shake a CGI stick at this week because we watched Crimson Peak (2015).
