Megan and Arthur count down their Top 10 horror movies of 2025—the biggest releases, the under-the-radar surprises, and the films that stuck with them long after the credits (no spoilers).

Horror author Jonathan Janz joins Grave Tone to talk his new sci-fi horror novel Veil, his story “Leonora” in The End of the World as We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King’s The Stand, and why horror is the most “limitless” genre. Plus: childhood trauma movies, haunted-house preferences, and rapid-fire horror takes.

Megan and Arthur watched every Silent Night, Deadly Night movie and ranked the entire killer-Santa franchise—then give a mini-review of the brand-new 2025 remake (yes, including “Garbage Day”).

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 review from hardcore horror fans. We break down the FNAF 2 movie’s animatronics, Marionette, Vanessa, Michael Afton, Matthew Lillard & Skeet Ulrich—and ask if this sequel is actually scary or just fan service.

Meaghan and Arthur crack open the 2026 horror slate, from 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and Evil Dead Burn to Soulm8te, Night Patrol, Send Help, Ready or Not 2, new Exorcist and Resident Evil projects, Robert Eggers’ werewolf movie, and more. Grab a drink and update your horror watchlist.

We revisit LINK (1986) – the bizarre 80s killer ape / animal-attack horror that traumatized us as kids. Childhood trauma, Elizabeth Shue, live apes on set, a bonkers professor, and the weirdest Jerry Goldsmith score ever.

Meaghan and Arthur head back from the theater and unpack Osgood Perkins’ new folk horror Keeper (2025) — from toxic relationship dynamics and confusing mythology to stunning cinematography, sound design, and Tatiana Maslany’s performance. Spoilers, swearing, and plenty of cabin-in-the-woods chaos ahead

We review Predator: Badlands—the first Predator story with a Yautja protagonist—and talk emotive monsters, a killer planet where everything wants you dead, Weyland-Yutani’s fingerprints, and that cheeky cliffhanger. Final verdict: 7.5 “digs.”

Fresh off its world premiere at ScreamFest LA, we sit down with writer/director James Kondelik and producer Wai Sun Cheng to unpack PITFALL (2025) — from the gnarly practical effects and survival-horror set-pieces to the cast (Richard Harmon, Alexandra Essoe, Randy Couture & more) and the film’s human mystery. Plus: fun rapid-fire horror questions.

Meaghan & Arthur celebrate Halloween with a truth-or-fiction showdown: three eerie stories each—two real, one fake. From Son of Sam’s alleged Halloween whispers to Martha Moxley’s case, a knife-wielding porch visitor, and the Beast of Gévaudan, we guess what’s real and what’s a trick…with a pot of candy at stake. Join the game in the comments: we’re @GravestonePod everywhere.

We revisit Chris Stuckmann’s Shelby Oaks after its theatrical release and dig into what changed post-Neon reshoots, why the opening mockumentary pivot still slaps, and how Camille Sullivan anchors the film’s dread. Spoilers after our general take!

We preview the festival slasher Pitfall (world-premiered at Screamfest LA) and share spoiler-light thoughts on its smart survival beats, gnarly practical FX, and a rain-soaked shoot—plus tease clips from our chat with director James Kondelik & producer Wai Sun Cheng (full interview next).

We just saw Black Phone 2 (2025) and dig into the winter-camp setting, Gwen’s visions, dream-phone lore, Ethan Hawke’s masked menace, and whether this sequel hits as hard as the original. Spoiler-free up top, then a clearly marked spoiler section.

We watched Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein early — here’s our no-spoiler review of the gothic horror event starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, and Mia Goth. Limited theaters Oct 17, streaming on Netflix Nov 7.

Shudder dropped V/H/S/Halloween, so we pivot! We break down the wraparound (“Diet Phantasma”), every segment (from Paco Plaza’s “Ut Supra Sic Infra” to the crowd-pleasing “Home Haunt”), why “Kidprint” messed us up, plus a Shelby Oaks release-date correction and a Good Boy shout-out.

Meaghan & Arthur go spoiler-free on GOOD BOY, the buzzed-about haunted-house film told entirely from a dog’s perspective. We talk festival hype (SXSW, Fantasia), smart camerawork at paw-level, whether “will the dog be okay?” terror actually works, and why this 73-minute shocker feels so fresh.

Meaghan & Arthur crack open our “Childhood Trauma” mini-series with An American Werewolf in Paris—the campy, CGI-heavy, 1997 follow-up to the beloved …in London. We compare the films, talk werewolf lore, ’90s soundtracks, box office lore, and why this one stings more on rewatch.

We just got home from opening night of Him—the Jordan Peele–produced sports-horror about a blue-chip QB, a messianic GOAT, and the cult of football. Gorgeous visuals and great performances collide with symbolism overload and choppy pacing. Here’s our spoiler-free take… then the gloves come off.

We rank our top Stephen King adaptations: from The Shining (’97) and Stand By Me to The Mist, 1408, Christine, Misery, IT Chapter One, and 2025’s The Monkey, plus spicy honorable mentions and a Dark Tower update.

We just got home from The Long Walk (2025) and… oof. We unpack our spoiler-free reactions, then dive into book-to-film changes, the gut-punch ending, standout performances, production trivia, and why this dystopian King tale hits so hard right now.
