  1. I had to comment right away – FAR OUT – Billchete already adding new stuff with only 4 video episodes. I loved the interview and I would definitely vote for more of this – Now off to this weeks recommendations —

  2. i just see that guy oberst in a movie wit debbie rochan i thin it called ripped memory it good. fun show ~ sergey russia

  3. Outstanding video, audio, reviews and reccommendations, the interview was awesome it’s like having a look into the minds of actors. 10 minutes went by quick for the interview and you guys progressed the show nicely to accommoddate.

  4. more obscurity bill with the indie pick machined reborn you are the man i dont know how you find these horror films but keep them coming plentiful dismal was great and im sure this one will be ordering now

  5. i not tiep goud english i wont 2 sae ty 4 this it goud 4 bi goud horor movies.

  6. OUTSTANDING episode and it is a treat having an actor on of your previous movie pick. He sounds like such a humble and honest guy and I do looking forward to that sick new film coming out soon.

    This Network of horror podcasts is OUTSTANDING. Grisly Zone with Video is the top dog by far. I do listen to each one and each one brings a cool horror slant to the genre. I have the “monster” subscription coined by Jay and will never run out of excellent horror movies to buy.

    Another new one starting tomorrow too, simply put OUTSTANDING.

  7. Conviction BillChete you have it as a host and the most notable in the horror field. I love that ChrisiFix is even getting her wings and sparring with you on the reviews especially with your different tastes on acting. The interview was a nice bonus.

  8. Great special having an interview. I have listened to many interviews on other audio podcasts and this is wayyyyy better having video much more personable and entertaining. I look forward to seeing Bill Oberst in some horror movies. It’s a shame his video got blurry at times, I’m glad to see you went to a split-screen to accommodate the picture.

  9. excellent excellent episode did i say this was an excellent show? it was excellent ground breaking and bill oberst is funny as all. the fake ear is awesome.

  10. fantastic episode-mothman sounds like the typical syfy crap.

    tip for chrisifix give us more detailed reviews during your dvd section for paranormal activity 2 i didnt care cause everyone knows that-take it from the master give us details about the movie why we should watch it get me excited girl.

    fantastic interview the dude is a trip and mr. oberst jr if youre reading this i bought dismal last episode and you were dementing and i felt uneasy you did fantastic great acting.

  11. Billchete you are hysterical “scared of a pool cleaner popping” :-) :-) :-) This video is huge, you capture moments that can never be done with audio. Nice jabs at “terror” again too, I love it :-) This could be so exciting if hosts across the network start taking jabs, you could have some hilarious back and forth battles. Nice “purple” hair Chrisifix, I’m calling you the “wigged chick”

  12. Got up early to catch the show before work and I am hoping that Blockbuster has the Machined movie so I can see it tonight. A+ show, Murtha

  13. Thank you all for your comments, they are all greatly appreciated.

    Babs: I will try and give you a more detailed review for my recommendation segment.

    Bryan Griffith: So I am now known as the wigged chick, glad you liked the hair.

  14. Thanks for having me on – was really fun to do this interview. We taped on a Sunday morning so I came home from church, threw a severed ear around my neck and sat down to talk extreme horror with Bill Chete. Now that’s what I call a perfect day. Grisly Zone kicks ass!

  15. BILLLLLL! CHETE!!!!!

    Back to the whole “nuthin’ happened” stance! I’ll admit that Paranormal Activity isn’t a gruesome gore-fest, but as far as ghost movies go this one is freaky. The build-up is methodical and the action is tasteful. But, like many movies we all saw in the theater when they first came out, I’ll admit it might not be as potent now. Chrisifix, thanks for at least saying something good about the franchise! I like PA-2 too. I’m excited and terrified to watch the 3rd installment especially since Billchete recommends it.

    I think as a whole series it’s great how they’ve been able to top the previous movies in action and scares… all while going backwards chronologically!

    I stand by my review man. Great haunting/ghost flick! Don’t dog it just cause you watched it post-hype! I’m excited to debate The Blair Witch Project with you this week… it may or may not go how you expect it to.

  16. Super episode with a kool interview!

  17. hey doods anuther hit and thx for respose last wk on the filesize you doods are kings

    the video looks incredible btw on the tv

  18. The interviewee was a riot, very honest and I respect that. Indeed, I will be seeking out movies he was in. I actually checked his Imdb page and he has quite the accredited list of films and many in post. I like how you wiggled TCSM in there Billchete, and you don’t back down for nobody example Insidious. It is why I have been listening to you for ages, now seeing you is all the more better.

  19. number four is pheniminol : miss chris the show is recorded ahead of time i think by a week you said i was wonderin` what you think of paranormal 3 if you see it : you the ghost expert i curious : carmel:ireland:54

  20. Thank you all for the humbling response here and through the feedback line on the website. Specific responses below:

    Bryan Griffith: That pool cleaner scene they went to over and over again killed me. And the horrible Teddy Ruxpin baby grab scenes also that I forgot to mention.

    Bill Oberst Jr.: They love you Bill, I knew they would, you have that “sincerity and love of the genre” and it shows. Thank you again for coming on Grisly Zone. You are welcome any time, it was a blast!

    TERROR!: Oh my “Terror” Tovey where to start. To keep it brief I will just state there was no “post-hype” involved. I get screenings/DVD’s well before they are released to the public, sometimes a year in advance. Paranormal Activity I had seen at least a year before anyone ever heard of the movie, and my jaw dropped when a studio picked it up and marketed the heck out of it with millions and millions of dollars. They suckered the mainstream in, dubbing it, “The scariest movie ever” and replayed the trailer everywhere of an audience screaming. Apparently you fell for the marketing and so did millions, I respect you totally as I do with everyone’s opinions, but you are dead wrong, NOTHING HAPPENED in the movie. :)

    George N: The interview was a cinch with someone as talented as Bill Oberst Jr. I had to get a Texas Chainsaw reference in there! And thanks for listening/watching for so long, I never suger-coat any movie no matter who is on the other side!

  21. Bringing in new features already Chete, this is amazing & I can’t wait to see where you take this Vidcast.

  22. nonstop horror fun your reactions are priceless keep up the stunning work on this show.

  23. Outstanding episode loved the interview with Oberst!!!

  24. fantastic episode i order new movies from amazon and i seen mothman as a new release and thankfully i didn’t waste my money especially after hearing the review. thanks bunches for keeping the reviews real. dismal and reborn are on order got them both for 9 dollars each on ebay.

  25. Great episode with the interview to mothman (the guys acting compared to Berryman-lol) to the dvd recommendations and even the wrap-up was action packed. Completely entertaining from start to finish.

  26. BILLCHETE (and fans):
    Yes, I rated “Paranormal Activity” an 8.5 (Buy it!) and called it “a must-see” (at least once) for anyone who digs horror movies. What makes that film so brilliant is the very fact that so little is shown or happens, and yet, thousands of people were still creeped out by it. There’s no way you or anybody can deny that a film which shows no monster, no blood and no gore but still manages to scare people isn’t effective filmmaking.

  27. P.S. Sorry Chrisifix, but I just can’t back you on the second one… To me “Paranormal Activity 2″ seemed like an over-the-top parody of the original film, like some kind of “Scary Movie”-type of spoof.

  28. Magnificent show was unaware of this launch – great video, interview, and reviews. Now I am going back to watch the first 3. :)

  29. Wonderful work to the minds behind Grisly Zone. A horror podcast with video, I can SEE you now- hehehe

  30. Super episode it keeps getting better and better each show!

  31. Your actor guest was great alot of knowledge and it is honorable that he admires the legends and learns from them. I think that is the problem in today’s horror – these new upstart actors don’t realize what started the horror craze.

  32. amazing podcast * horror video talk is cool * subscibed

  33. You guys have really “upped” the game so to speak with horror podcasting. I’m a woman freak who loves horror movies and I love the breakdowns and ratings. Neat little interview this episode, Mr. Oberst seems like a “stand up guy”
    Dorie

  34. You did it again BillChete another horror movie I never heard of. Thanks so much for these indie movies otherwise would never known about. Grisly Zone is the shitznit.

  35. High quality video podcast! Keep ‘um coming!

  36. Thanks again for the feedback it is greatly appreciated. Specific responses below:

    Underwood: Yes indeed! More coming soon, I have many plans for Grisly Zone.

    Marshon: Reviews will always be real here Marshon! :) I’m happy you purchased both those Indie Assault picks, you cannot go wrong!

    Jay Of The Dead: I can say whatever I want about Paranormal Activity, it wasn’t effective filmmaking, it was a student project that got LUCKY a conglomerate put millions into it. I can name 100′s of movies that would of had the same appeal if they had the backing. And by the way NOTHING HAPPENED in the movie! :)

    Rieya: Happy you found us!

    Andy Z: Thank you Andy, it is my mission to get these awesome independent horror movies out to the mainstream!

  37. Excellent horror movie commentary, the interview was great, Oberst Jr. is an interesting guy, I can see how he takes roles that are unnerving, he has the look. This is the best horror podcast period.

  38. Our family (7 in total) loves this show. We watch you in our den, after the show we search for the best prices and order them. Last weekend we watched Choose and the Girl Next Door from Ep1 and loved them – Great horror movies. Thank you very-very much for making this video content free to watch at anytime.

  39. My copy of Dismal came in and watched in last night, excellent efx I loves me some backwoods cannibals and what a surprise having the star on this episode. The guy creeped me out in the movie so I would say he did an excellent job.

    Ollie

  44. I want to thank everyone again for all there comments and questions, they are all greatly appreciated.

    satinfish34 : Glad you liked the hair…lol I haven’t gotten to the theater yet to see paranormal 3 but hopefully I will this weekend and I will let you know what I thought of it.

    Jay of the Dead : Thats ok that you don’t agree with me on Paranormal 2 everyone is entitled to there own opinion. As for the first enstallment I am with BillChete NOTHING HAPPENEDin it, didn’t like it!

    Bill Oberst Jr was amazing it was such a pleasure having him on our show, can’t wait to see his new movie!

  45. star studded show luved it; interview was kewl az beanz; your hittin it hard grizzlies keep punchin em out; quianna 36/f

  46. Fantastic show, looking for Bill Oberst and found this video from Vimeo. I am excited to find this video podcast. This is exactly what I like, horror movie discussions and video makes a great show.

  47. Great episode and great little teaser bonus with the actor from Dismal.

  48. I keep forgetting new shows are released on Tuesday, ’tis OK tho you make it available all the time. THis is a excellent episode, fun discussions with that Syfy flick, hey I like the bad reviews just as much as the good ones, then excellent reviews on the picks of the week and I almost forgot the interview was fun too. I’ll be checking in sooner this next so I can buy the DVD’s during the week.

  49. a relaxed and carefree tv show about horror movies-stunning&brilliant-im a fan

  50. Saturdays are fantastic I get to watch Grisly Zone and then order some good horror movie recommendations! Nice implementation with the interview with the cannibalistic father of the previous recommendation. Dismal was a cool slasher some cool kills, the big cannibal had some creepiness factor going on with the look.

  51. Lovely show pals, it’s a pleasurable thing seeing critics, actors rather than simply hearing them. This is a game-changer in horror podcasts and I am glad I got in on the ground floor.

  52. Super episode Chrisifix/Billchete/Cool beans to Billoberst.

  53. Thank you all so much for all the comments and so glad you are enjoying our podcast! Keep the questions and comments coming!!

  54. Ordered the Machined Reborn movie I will let you know my rating when it comes in. I took your advice and avoided Moth Man, I seen it for a cheap Seven Dollar, I think they are dropping the price already because of lack of sales.

  55. billy o berst interview was fun + casual I like the extras + grizly zone is awesome + can t wait to see what s up your sleeves next NOW going over to the weekly pod and listen to the new episode

  56. Fun show! Loved the interview, and look forward to the new disturbing movie from Mr. Oberst!

  57. snap wrong day wating on next show i be here tomorrow i rewatch this one and really loves what you are doing with the vidcast keeps me coming bak for more ofs it

  58. Hello!!!! Just wanna say that this is my first visit to the site. very cool, I enjoyed my visit. I am a total movie nerd and I love all types. I enjoy the interviews with directors and actors that is a great inside look at the thought process behind the making of and the characters. Thanks for your site guys! Billchete I gotta tell ya though if you say “Man” one mo again in your interviews Ima stab myself in the face and make THAT into a short k dude. LMAO! Just messin with ya, Hey I seriously enjoyed the site, Good job. Keep up the good work guys, I will be back.

  59. Thank you all for the feedback it is greatly appreciated. Specific responses below:

    Domenic Hollner: Don’t worry about watching the shows as soon as they are released. Many do, but they will always be available right here on Horror Palace!

    Nita Boyster: I don’t think they will sell Mothman even at $7. They need to throw it in the $1 bin and the collectors will probably pick it up just to have it.

    Boss Butcher: Thanks my podcast brother! I will be receiving Bill Oberst Jr.’s new movie shortly!

    Paula: Thanks MAN! :) You are absolutely right Paula, during interviews I always overuse the word “man.” It is a bad habit, but don’t I make up for it with my dreamy looks. :)

    Head off to Episode 005 fans, a horror short is aired and the review of Wrong Turn 4, you’re not gonna want to miss it!

  60. More VIDEO!!! I love it! And BillChete . . . . You know im gonna say yes, you make up for the over use of “Man” with your dreamy looks! Lol

    Hey, I did wanna tell you I just experienced Wrong Turn 4 !!!
    WOW . . . just wow! Not sure what to think . . . I think I laughed more than I looked away, but, im just kind of speechless, I dunno.

    Any comments???

  61. Thanks again to everyone for leaving comments it is much appreciated.

    Paula: :) You must check out the latest show, Episode 007, I interview Nick Everhart and air a fantastic horror short called Slash In The Box, best of all, “man” is squashed! I think you will be pleased. :)

    I bet the poor and emotionless acting took you out of Wrong Turn 4. It really hurt the film on a whole. Most of the kill scenes were brutal with great effects. I didn’t laugh much at all, I guess you didn’t “buy” the mutants. :)

  62. Hey there Billchete!! I did check out Episode 007! Fantastic! I love love love that short! Very cool. I would really like to see more work by that guy.
    And great job with “MAN”! But ya know I was only messin, if you do away with it all together then it just want be the Billchete we know and love ;>

    Hey Crisifix . . . Love the wigs!!! You go ahead girl!

    I wish I had the movie makin talent . . . Got an idea or two I would like to see in a short one day. Who knows Billchete sugar . . . you may be interviewing me one day . . . man Lmao! I had to do it! K ya’ll Keep up the good work!!!

  63. Hi Paula!

    I am happy you enjoyed Episode 007! Yes I know you were messing around, I love that sense of humor. Don’t worry, I think the “Mans” wont ever escape my tongue! :)

    I can’t wait for the day to interview you!

    Thanks again Paula, have a nice day!

  64. Hey there Billchete! Ok, so I watched 004 again, and I realized at the end that you spoke a little about Walking Dead. So I have to ask then if you have watched any of American Horror Story? I freakin love that show, im hooked. And I am very curious as to what you and Crisifix think about it.
    Sorry for commenting so often, I swear to God I do have a life ;> But I work 3rd shift and all I do is sit at the front desk, maybe stuff a few envelopes. So for the other 7 hrs I have to stay awake some how (Enter Horror Palace) Woo Hoo! Anyway, American Horror . . . I can’t wait to see what ya’ll have to say!!!

  65. Hi Paula!

    Don’t ever worry about commenting too much! You can comment as often as you wish, it is greatly appreciated.

    I have heard many good things about American Horror Story but have yet to watch it. I did a quick check and seen it is already on Episode 8. I will definitely check it out at the end of the season when they make the Season DVD’s available per your recommendation.

    Captain Howdy of Que On This just talked about American Horror Story on Episode 002, and he really likes it, so give that a listen when you get time.

    We put tons of content out there on Horror Palace, and I am so happy to hear we keep you entertained at work!

    Thanks again!

  66. hi, obersts cool. There is several horor movies iwant to see hes in will see them.

  67. Hey there BillChete baby!!!!!
    Back after a weekend off! Yea!!! wish i was still off . . . .
    Anyway, you are smart to wait on the DVD release of the first season. This show hit the ground running and to try and catch up now would be impossible. So you are smart to wait. I listened to Que on this 002. Pretty good, but I LOVES ME SOME GRISLY ZONE!!! Lol I can’t wait for the next video . . . . . so COME ON!
    Any way . . . envelope stuffing awaits (woo) So I will check back tomorrow!
    Take care Man ;>

  68. Hi Paula! Back to the grind!

    I will definitely be buying the season when it’s released. Thank you so much for the kind compliments!

    The new episode is here, Episode 008, check it out!

    Thank you again and don’t work too hard!
