The Graveyard Shift Horror Podcast

We continue the Fall of the Queens as we take a fall cruise to tour a real life ship that has a history of haunting. The movie we watched could have benefited from being more than one movie, rather than jamming too many interesting plots into a Brundlefly storyline. But we have a lot of fun talking about it, so join us!

There is so much wrong with this we cant even address it all in a decent time. what did YOU find wrong with this movie? Let us know!

We are hosted at Captivate...

The Fall of the Queens continues as we cover the Queen of the Damned. The film that Anne Rice didn't want made, then loved everything about it while it was being made, and then didn't want seen or discussed in her presence after it was released. At least you can say this movie has not aged poorly, because it couldn't be more hated and mocked now than it was on release! but a regular episode just isn't enough. We go into overtime tearing this movie apart. After praising its good parts of course.

also Mike has is...

This month of November we celebrate the fall season. And royalty. So we are celebrating horror movies with Queen in the title, in the Fall of the Queens. Since it's a new month we decided to cover Fear Street again. What? Did we not cover the trilogy already? Whats this other movie about? Glad you asked. It's a brand new Fear Street movie! not quite connected to the original trilogy, but also kinda, this is based on another novel of R.L Stine but not written or directed by Leigh Janiak. And it shows. If you've seen 80s prom...

We end the Halloween of 2025 with the end of the Fear Street Trilogy! The story and writing that have bewitched us so far, reaches its conclusion. but can it keep the momentum, answer all the questions it raised and resolve the concerns we had? Listen and find out!

We broke tradition with our original theme, and got a movie that does have a dressed up killer but not a trick or treat to be seen. We dig in our heels to see some good movies, after last weeks debacle, so here we go, with a GOOD movie. We take on the Fear Street Trilogy and start in 1994 where the anachronisms flow like water, but we still have a blast. Enjoy our celebration of a fine film! Teenagers deal with love, loss, and also there is a witchs curse!

We decided to do movies that occur at Halloween, but then after covering this horrible movie, we needed to just recover with a good trilogy afterwards.

oh, and it's about a couple that rent some movies from a shitty store, and the movies are shit and the acting is shit, and the ending is shit. enjoy our pain.

We end our Back to School marathon with Urban Legend, where the curriculum is Modern Folklore and the homework is murder. This is another 90's slasher filled with sexy people mocking modern tropes while the writers treat physics like suggestion and the internet like magic.

Class is starting to wear on us as we eagerly await graduation day. what makes the waiting even harder is "The House of Sorority Row" a tepid movie that clearly needed a second draft. This rips off Diabolique and Halloween and Friday the 13th and lacks all their charm and gore.

We are joined by Keith Hayes to discuss Battle Royale, where the graduating class of 2000 is not advised to wear sunscreen or dance like nobody is watching, but to be the sole survivor on an island where they will die if they do not kill each other.

Ah September. When parents celebrate the return of school so they can get free babysitting and hopefully make their little spawn a little smarter at the same time. At least the ones that survive the ordeal. Which brings us once again, Back To School. From the Fearleaders to the Class Corpse, it's all a popularity contest and we will be seeing who makes it to graduation over the next month. This weeks entry is All Cheerleaders Die, a movie that has more trouble defining itself than a schizophrenic octopus.

We end this month of Fishing Season by sending our crew to the Hadal Zone for some spooky movies and we might have finally hit pay dirt with Leviathan. This has a promising cast and premise so good it was already well received when it was The Thing.

We have not given up our fishing expedition for the month to find the scariest things in the water, as we approach the aphotic zone we are met by a Deep Rising, where it decided to see what lurks in places touched by light and we get exposed to horrible CGI and unlikeable characters. But we emerged with plenty to discuss.

We keep plumbing the deep ocean for Fishing Season of 2025 and have increased the size of our quarry to shark sized menaces . Unfortunately this has Jaws rip-off all over it and is the second worst combination of Vic Morrow and a downed helicopter.

we cast our line to go fishing for great horrors this summer. Instead we snag our line on this rotted boot wrapped in sargassum. Even Dorf had better luck fishing than this. But it's a movie and we saw it, so you're gonna hear it. Hopefully our luck improves next week.

We conclude the Summer of Swim 2025 with Night Swim, a perfectly tepid movie that had so much potential to be better which we are happy to expand upon in a perfectly sane and inoffensive matter.

We hit the wall of the Summer of Swim and are on the return lap! After last weeks disasterpiece theatre, we have an actual movie this time that accomplishes some of its goals. Not all, not by a long-shot, but still is quite serviceable with plenty to laugh and joke about.

Plus as a BONUS we have a treat in the opening! Not a skit but a sample of this months patreon exclusive series, The Graveyard Channel. This season we cover Season 1 of the Twilight Zone and this months sample is us talking about the time travel...

We do another lap around the pool for The Summer of Swim, but someone peed in the pool, then left a deuce in it for good measure. We review Pool Party Massacre, but this is the worst pool party ever and that's before the bodies start to pile up.

David Cronenberg decided to make a movie about video games based on a Philip K Dick Novel.

So it doesnt really grasp the theme all that well. But its got meat and guts and all the stuff you expect in a Cronenberg movie. So there's that. But we did posit if he did try his hand at game crafting in this weeks skit. So there's also that.

Long ago Eric was a co-host on the show and had a list of films that was owed him as suffering for spending a year making reviews with Mike. Today that debt was paid by covering this film. John has better things to do than join in, and you can find out what that is. But also, good news contained within for those who wonder what they would get for supporting the show on patreon, and that's a NEW SERIES! Listen to the show for details

What happens when a character who has carried a franchise for over a decade get their well earned send off and absolutely cannot return in any reasonable way? You could create new characters and settings for the xenomorphs to encounter humans. If you are the writers for this movie you can just forgo reason and say "Ripley is back, give us money"

We served hard time watching Alien 3 and wondering how the script got like this. Luckily Mike did a trivia hunt and now it makes sense and we gave up our grudge against the director of it. Enjoy us breaking this apart and wondering how this prison functioned before Ripley showed up.

Alicia is back and we have a special chest, i mean guest! John's brother Phil is back to help us handle the peak Xenomorph film, and a supremely good sequel, Aliens (1986). This was directed by James Cameron who really showed his work with The Terminator was not a fluke. There's so much to say so we won't say it here, but in the episode!

We needed a break from the existential horrors of Animation April 2025, and settled on a nice feel good classic that we immediately ruined by over analyzing and daring to think a little more than the writers did. We are broken. We will find our way back to regular live action horrors next week as we kick off spring with thoughts of fertility and breeding and motherhood!

We return to the cartoon classics of horror with another Animation April. we kick off with a master of illustrated intimidation, Junji Ito for the first of a double bill of his works. Tokyo Fish Attack sounds like the dumbest name for a movie, but let him cook, cause he's got memorable characters with diverse and entertaining chemistry, a crazy mad scientist, a circus troupe gone mad, and an explanation for the crisis that leads back to real life Japanese science atrocities in WW2. It's as deep as the ocean that gives up its life forms.
