Done To Death: Horror Movie Remakes, Rip-offs, and the Classics that inspired them

Rich and his co-hosts, Justin & Vanessa, take turns talking about a classic horror movie and then follow-up with an episode about a later film that, in one way or another, takes that classic story and reworks it, either as an official remake or something less directly related. Topics of conversation often lean toward comparing one another but also how they stand in their own right.

    Day of the Dead 85/08

    For the last of this season's Original Vs. Remake-style episodes, we're hanging by a thread without regular third co-host, Vanessa. A little bit like the folks in Romero's 1985 trilogy-capping, gore-gushing zombie classic, Day of the Dead. We also play with the format a little but there's still plenty of what you might've come to expect if this isn't your first listen.

    Dawn of the Dead 78/05

    The D2D Crew lights up some smokes in the recording studio and talk a lot about 1978 and 2004's Dawn of the Dead. Justin alludes to a checkered past that he's trying to leave behind, Vanessa got a little anxious because she couldn't find her chips, and I stand my the mistakes I made in life because they made me the man I am today.

    OFFICIAL TRAILER: The Done To Death Podcast: Season 2: Done of the Dead: Part 2: The Final Death

    Happy Spooky Season to all and to all another bunch of Done To Death episodes in October! This October we'll do 4 of our Original Vs Remake-style episodes covering 4 of the the most well-known films in George A. Romero's filmography, alongside their "proper" remakes. It's Rich, it's Justin, it's Vanessa all back and we've even pulled a guest co-host or two along the way. Actually, Vanessa's schedule has become increasingly incompatible and while she's in 3 of our 4 Original Vs Remake episodes, that might be it for Vanessa for the foreseeable future. So be all the more ready to listen this October for what may be the final episodes with our classic power trio incarnation of the D2D co-host lineup.
