Episode 246 – New Year’s Evil/Minutes to Midnight

Three… two… one… Happy New Year! We’re kicking off 2025 with a whole new batch of Horror Business, including a Real World Horror story about an Irish family looking to escape a mold problem, only to be moved into a house with a poltergeist instead! We then discuss the remake of Anaconda, three new Fear Street movies, and Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. We also examine A Serbian Documentary and a new Lovecraftian video game. Then it’s time to watch the balls drop as we ring in the new year with two movies set on December 31. Enjoy our thoughts on the star-studded slasher Minutes to Midnight as well as the 1980 classic New Year’s Evil. So grab a loved one and a glass of champagne and get ready to count down to a brad new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast!
