Hello again and welcome to another episode of everyone's favorite game show... wait... what are we doing? Oh yeah, Grave Plot Podcast. We've got a special guest calling into the show today, Kevin Nesgoda from SonicsRising.com. Kevin takes time out of his NBA Playoff watching to talk horror and review some movies. This episode features a couple of slow burning movies that feature a lot of alternate reality and make you question what is real. We finally got around to seeing the new film Oculus, which was delayed because of the Facebook purchase. Oh, that was something else? Well, anyways, we were supposed to review it last episode but didn't have the time, but now we did. So there. We also reviewed the Australian thriller Patrick, about a coma patient with powers far beyond those of a normal coma patient. I guess technically walking and talking would be powers beyond that of a normal coma patient... Well, Patrick can do more than just walk and talk. Just... just listen to the episode, you'll see what I mean. I hope you didn't think we forgot about Horror Business! Today's news and rumors kick off with the sad news that FEARnet will be going the way of so many Camp Crystal Lake teenagers. Speaking of which, we also give you more updates on not only the new Friday the 13th movie (sequel?) but also a Friday the 13th television show! What? Yeah! And before you ask, no, this is not a rehash of the terrible 1987 series that didn't even involve Jason Voorhees. In non-Friday the 13th related news, we also tell you which former TV star could be making a return to the small screen on The Walking Dead, plus tell you about the expansion of that same undead apocalypse universe with the release of a new series of novels. Speaking of zombies, we tell you about the new anthology Zombieworld, and give you the details of Contracted: Phase II. Other sequel news include Sinister 2, Nurse 2, Insidious Chapter 3, and I Spit on Your Grave 3. In case all that doesn't satiate your appetite, there's also a new Cabin Fever being discussed, but instead of a sequel it's going to be a remake (reboot? Reimagining? Whatever). Man, our segue game is on point today. So get ready. While the movies we review might take a while to get going, we come out guns blazing. Bang bang!

Episode 14 – Lucky Bastard/Hatchet/Jack Davis

Hello, friends. It's okay, you're here at The Grave Plot Podcast. One of our reviews this episode is a movie called Lucky Bastard. Dave gets to bang his favorite porn star. It does not go as expected. Hilarity ensues. Wait, that doesn't sound right... Our other review has writer/director Adam Green bringing back "old school American horror" with his slasher flick Hatchet, about a Louisiana ghoul who slays anyone that trespasses in his bayou. We also got a chance to speak to the CEO of The Crypt horror app, Jack Davis. You can check out The Crypt at fearthecrypt.com and download if you're an iPhone user (Android coming soon). It's a great source for pics, articles, movie clips or anything else that gives people the heebie jeebies. Go check it out. In addition to all that fun stuff, we also have your doctor recommended dose of Horror Business. Today's topics include another series about Charles Manson (besides the Rob Zombie/Brett Easton Ellis collaboration that we discussed in episode 11), updates on Pumpkinhead (yes, you read that correctly), sequel news and rumors for The Dead and Hocus Pocus, plus more on the Scream TV adaptation that MTV is working on. We originally discussed that one WAY back in episode 1. But wait! There's more! We also tell you which Syfy program is getting cancelled and what it's being replaced with, plus tell you who you'll see in Eli Roth's Knock Knock. So strap in, it's gonna be a bumpy one. The ad in this episode is for the "Yeah, Let's Go There" podcast. You can find more at yeahletsgothere.com.
