    Episode 239 – MaXXXine/Faceless After Dark
    Jul 10 2024
    Editor note: There were some audio issues during Horror Business. They are corrected for the reviews. The content is the same Grave Plot quality you've come to expect, whatever that entails. Enjoy. Look at me. Look at this face. I'm a STAR. Or at least that's what we tell ourselves. It's also what the main characters in the films we review today think. Namely, the young lead in a killer clown movie who finds out life imitates art a little too much sometimes in Faceless After Dark. We also discuss the conclusion of Ti West's X trilogy, featuring the next big thing in Hollyweird, MaXXXine. Up first, however, is Horror Business. In Real World Horror, we talk about the sex crazed zombie cicadas on speed. You know the ones. Speaking of zombies, we reminisce about killing a whole mall full of them in the video game Dead Rising, and look forward to doing it all over again in a new digital remaster. We also take a look at a new Van Helsing TV series, a Valentine's Day slasher featuring the star of Idle Hands, and new takes on Bloody Mary and Peter Pan. So come fly with us, let's fly, let's fly away with a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!

    Episode 235 – Late Night with the Devil/Founders Day
    May 15 2024
    The boys are back in town and ready to get down so let's light this bottle rocket. After we recap the events of this year's Crypticon Seattle, we take a trip down Mexico way to discuss a not-so-jolly rancher who found 17 of his animals killed by probably a chupacabra. Right? Definitely a chupacabra. For Horror Business, we discuss a whole bunch of A24 news, like what's up with Crystal Lake? Also, a new film from a vintage duo as well as a new film from another not-so-vintage duo. We also talk about TWO new Evil Dead projects as well as our ol' pal Mike Flanagan tackling a classic. For our film reviews, we celebrate Founders Day - once we figure out what it is - and try not to get our heads smashed by a bright red judge with a giant gavel. We then sit down in front of the TV to watch an old school talk show that devolves into a Late Night with the Devil. So grab some popcorn and candy and a 54 ounce soda and enjoy the show!

    Episode 234 – The First Omen/Blackout
    Apr 17 2024
    We're back on our BS. Get ready to get down with a brand new trip through the world of horror, including a Real World Horror story about a dead ghost hunter that definitely doesn't go how you'd expect. In Horror Business, we discuss the unnecessary remake of The Blair Witch Project, the unnecessary reboot of the Scary Movie franchise, and a very necessary - but confusing sounding - movie based on Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, as well as taking a look at Archie vs the apocalypse. For our film reviews, we howl at the full moon with Larry Fessenden's Blackout, as well as examining the origins of the Antichrist with The First Omen. Along the way we try to unravel multiple multiverses, lament a horror movie monopoly, and examine the process of becoming a pre-nun. It's madcap, it's chaotic, it's immature. It's vintage Grave Plot Podcast!

    Episode 233 – Stopmotion/Night Shift
    Mar 20 2024
    Party people (insert air horn noise)! Let's kick it. In this episode, we head back to the U.S. of A. for Real World Horror, where we examine a woman who wanted her ex-husband dead and decided the best course of action was a mysterious "death spell." In Horror Business, we discuss Neve Campbell returning to the Scream franchise, an I Know What You Did Last Summer legacy sequel, and a Quibi original becoming a full length feature film. We also scrutinize reboots of the... classic?... movies Little Shop of Horrors and Ghoulies. Let's all go to the movies. For our film reviews, we give our thoughts on two new films. First up is Night Shift, about a young woman who joins the... night shift... at a creepy motel and begins to see things she can't explain. But the truth is even stranger. We follow that up by exploring Stopmotion, about an animator whose work begins to take over her life to confusing results. So switch your headphones over to The Grave Plot Podcast. No one at the silent disco will know.

Get your green on and grab a bottle of your favorite Irish whiskey because it's time for our annual trip to the Emerald Isle to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with The Grave Plot Podcast! Before we get to Ireland, though, we have to make a stop in London to examine a local pub haunted by the ghost of a very particular barkeep in Real World Horror. For Horror Business, we discuss the latest film from Monkeypaw Productions, a pair of remakes from Lionsgate, and a possible fourth installment in the X franchise. We also examine the upcoming comic adaptation of Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein" as well as a new TV series from Ryan Murphy. For our film reviews, we follow the rainbow to find not a pot of gold, but a giant hairy monster by the name of Rawhead Rex, who stalks the countryside with glowing red eyes and a mouth that doesn't close. Speaking of monsters, we also try to avoid getting our blood drained by the vampires in Boys From Country Hell. So get your four leafed clover and prepare to get lucky with The Grave Plot Podcast, and may the road rise to meet ya!
