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

Rich & Justin kick off Spooky Season 2026 talking about Lee & Karl's respective takes on The Mummy.

D2D is back for another spooky season of talkin' remakes, reboots, rip-offs, etc...and this time...it's about time...specifically the year 2026 and a few films that came out this year and what we think about them and the one's that covered similar ground-or perhaps not so similar ground-in films past.

Me and Shannon talk about 2025's best case scenario nepo living dead movie.

Rich, Justin and special guest Timothy Mather come together once again to talk and draft a definitive and occasionally frustrating list of the best horror movies of 2025.

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.

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.

We talk more Romero and focus in on his 1973 quarantine quagmire quassic along with the 2010 remake.

This week's episode was about Night of the Living Dead. Next week is about The Crazies. Today is about what happened in between.

It all starts here. We talk George A. Romero and Night of the Living Dead 1968 and Tom Savini's 1990 remake.

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.
