The Graveyard Shift Horror Podcast

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. 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 t...

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...

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...

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.

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...
