Episode 234 – The First Omen/Blackout

4/17/2024
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

3/20/2024
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.

We call this a "Fun Size" episode but we big leagued you instead by giving you a little extra something, like a razor blade in a candy apple!

7/26/2023
Do you ever just... stare off into the void and wonder what the world has in store for us? Like... Where do we go when all this ends? What is the purpose of our existence? We continue these thoughts on the afterlife in Real World Horror, where we take a look at 49ers quarterback Sam Darnold's harrowing experience with the other side when he stayed in teammate George Kittle's possibly haunted pool house.
