We kick things off with Real World Horror, about an unidentified floating humanoid figure right in our own backyard.

October – the most ominous and foreboding month. Every year, an event rises from the pits of Hell to cast its shadow across the land, spreading like a plague, sending an icy chill up the spines of all who fall in its path. It is known only as... OCTOBERAMA!!!!!! That's right, kiddies—our annual month-long celebration of all things spooky has arrived again! Our weekly event kicks off with Volume 1, Week of the Vampire, where we discuss two films about the blood-sucking, heliophobic creatures of lore: 30 Days of Night and Abigail. Before that, we sink our teeth into a healthy dose of Horror Business, including Real World Horror about Japanese scientists doing everything they can to bridge the uncanny valley and ensure the doom of the human race. Next, we take a look at a weekend sleepover event taking place at an iconic hotel... that has nothing to do with the hotel's legacy. Also, we go over the addition of two horror legends to an upcoming game, the likely unnecessary remake of a '90s thriller, an update on the remake of a classic monster movie, and the unfortunate (but hopefully temporary) demise of a titan of horror. So, crack open that coffin, crack open a cold one, throw on your finest cape, and join us as we kick off the season with the return of Octoberama!

We then discuss a new version of The Creature from the Black Lagoon, a film adaptation of a grizzly comic book, and a new film from the maker of WolfCop. We also examine a new Ghostbusters cartoon series and not one but TWO Halloween video games. For our film reviews, we travel into the unknown with a couple of movies featuring monsters who are more than willing to rip your skin off. We discuss the Wendigo thriller Consumed, starring Devon Sawa, as well as Fede Álvarez's sci-fi horror Alien: Romulus. Let's burn this mother down.

We try to stay alive long enough to cash in The Inheritance, and also revisit that silly old homicidal bear in Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2

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.
