Mostly Horror Movie Night: Recent Episodes
Mostly Horror Movie Night
Welcome to Mostly Horror Movie Night! Sean Parker (illustrator/hypocrite.ink on TikTok & IG) and Steve Goldberg (guy who looks at his phone too much) discuss the horror genre; interviewing people from all walks of life and discussing our love for horror films, television, and more.
This week, we're trying something new.
Our show is built around the idea that some films may not be "traditional" horror, but still feel mostly horror, or at least horror-adjacent. To explore that idea, we've created a rubric to determine whether a film qualifies as horror.
For our first attempt, there was no better film to put to the test than Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. We're joined by our friend Bruce as we evaluate the film across five categories: its intent, its storytelling DNA (how much of the film is built from horror storytelling), the horror experience, its horror iconography, and, ultimately, whether it should be classified as not horror, horror-adjacent, mostly horror, or a certified horror film.
Do you think Nolan's The Odyssey is horror? We'd love to hear your thoughts. So…

This week, we sat down with writer, producer, and showrunner Nick Antosca, the creator behind the shows Channel Zero, The Act, Brand New Cherry Flavor, and the new Apple TV+ series Cape Fear, whose season finale just aired.
Nick shared how Jaws and Night of the Living Dead first introduced him to horror as a child and also gave us a behind-the-scenes look at what a showrunner actually does. We also discussed Cape Fear and how he reimagined the iconic story for modern audiences, reinvented Max Cady with Javier Bardem in the role, and approached the adaptation. And of course, Nick shared some great horror recommendations that every fan should check out.
This was an awesome conversation about adaptation and the creative process behind some incredible horror projects, sooo…

This week Director Nicolas Winding Refn joins us this week for a wide ranging conversation covering his career from Pusher through Bronson, Drive, and Neon Demon, up to his latest film, Her Private Hell, starring Sophie Thatcher.
Refn returns after a ten year break from feature filmmaking, following a near death health scare he's been open about. He breaks down his creative process in detail, including his use of a triangle structure to connect disparate ideas into a single story, and how images, rather than plot, are always his true starting point.
Its a great conversation about the creative process, sooo...

Steve and Sean are flying solo this week, no guest, just the boys catching up and diving into Evil Dead Burn. We open with our July travels then get into the news: remembering Sam Neill, the new Nightmare on Elm Street remake landing at Paramount Primal, and David Howard Thornton joining Behind the Mask 2: The Return of Leslie Vernon.
Then it's a full breakdown of Evil Dead Burn, Sébastien Vaniček's entry in the franchise and the first chapter of the new trilogy kicked off after Evil Dead Rise. We get into what we expected walking in, how the Deadite work compares to Rise, the practical effects and eye work, whether the film leans too far into action over horror in spots, and where Burn actually lands once you rewatch the entire franchise back to back. We close out with our full Evil Dead rankings, and yes, we disagree.
We are the things that were and shall be again!!!
Sooo... COME HANG OUT!!!

This week, we're rewinding the clock and bringing back an interview from five years ago! We sat down with Richard Vreeland, better known as Disasterpeace, the composer behind It Follows, as well as films like Bodies Bodies Bodies and Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.
In this episode, we talk all about his collaboration with director David Robert Mitchell, how Mitchell discovered him through his soundtrack for the game FEZ, the intense three-week time crunch in which he composed the It Follows score, and some of his biggest sonic inspirations, including the stabbing sounds from Psycho. Disasterpeace also shares how he documents his creative work on his website, along with the personal projects and concept albums he loves to make.
Plus, Steve gets into the latest updates from the horror world and shares some of his recommendations for the week.
It's a great throwback episode, so...

In this episode, we caught up with New York Times best-selling and Bram Stoker Award-winning author Paul Tremblay, whose acclaimed novels include The Cabin at the End of the World (adapted into the film Knock at the Cabin), A Head Full of Ghosts, which is currently in the works as a film, Horror Movie, and his latest novel, Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep, coming out this week.
We chatted with Paul about all the recent news in his world, from the upcoming A Head Full of Ghosts adaptation to the release of Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep. He also opened up about major changes in his life, from a recent health scare to retiring after 31 years as a math teacher to pursue writing full-time. Paul shared what it was like visiting the set of A Head Full of Ghosts in Ireland, calling it a dream to see the film finally come together.
We also dove into the origins of Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep, discussing his thoughts on human creativity versus AI-generated work, the unique challenge of writing between two perspectives, and the question of whether AI could every possess consciousness.
This was an insightful conversation about horror, creativity, and technology, something that couldn’t be more relevant today. Sooo …

This week, we sat down with actress Natalie Grace, the breakout star of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy. Natalie shared all the details of her experience bringing Katie’s terrifying mummy form to life, from the audition process and lengthy prosthetic and makeup sessions to performing her own stunts for the role.
She also told us about her very first acting gig at just four years old, the surreal experience of suddenly seeing her own face plastered across billboards this year, and her journey into horror fandom sparked by her role. And of course, she shared some awesome film and reading recommendations.
If you've ever wondered what it's like to step into the role of a horror movie monster, this is a great listen, sooo ...

In this week’s episode, we got to chat with Adrian Chiarella, writer and director of the Australian supernatural horror film Leviticus, hitting theaters this Friday, June 19. Adrian is an award-winning filmmaker who gained acclaim with Dwarf Planet and his television work, and Leviticus marks his feature directorial debut.
We dove into Adrian’s background as an editor and how that has shaped his perspective and work now as a director. Adrian also shared how, as a queer teenager, he turned to horror films and connected with their themes of otherness and identity, and how those influences ultimately found their way into Leviticus. He shared his experience casting and working with the film’s actors, one of whom appeared in Talk to Me, and how they built their chemistry both on and off set (apparently playing Fortnight together works great.)
We also talked A Nightmare on Elm Street, Frank Ocean, and Cure. It was a fascinating conversation with plenty of behind-the-scenes stories along the way. You don’t want to miss this great chat about an exciting new horror film that’s about to hit theaters, sooo …

This week, the two of us decided to dive straight into one of the most talked-about and highly anticipated horror films of the year: The Backrooms. What began as a single unsettling image posted online anonymously has now evolved into an A24 feature film, already amassing over $200 million worldwide.
We break down the origins of The Backrooms and how it's evolved over the years, from its roots on 4chan and the rise of liminal horror to becoming a viral YouTube sensation created by a teenager before eventually being picked up by A24.
We discuss what worked, what didn't, what disappointed us, and what we hoped to see from the adaptation. And despite moments that genuinely impressed us, we found ourselves grappling with why some of the horror elements that worked so well online didn't translate nearly as well onto the big screen.
We also chatted about creepypastas, filming found footage, and Slender Man, and why some horror concepts might be more effective online than they are in theaters. If you've seen the film and have thoughts of your own, this is a great convo to dive into, so ...

This week, we’re joined by Mostly Horror veteran CJ Leede, author of Maeve Fly and American Rapture, to discuss her latest novel, Headlights. We caught up on her experience living on the road, talked about the color palettes of her books, and explored how visiting locations shapes her storytelling.
She also shared how the role grief and mortality played into writing Headlights, and what it was like navigating those more difficult themes while simultaneously reaching new highs in her career.
We also spent plenty of time talking about John Denver, UFOs, roadside attractions, and other paranormal mysteries. As always, it was an absolute pleasure catching up with CJ and hearing about the journey behind Headlights. There's never a dull moment talking with CJ, so ...

In this episode, we’re joined by Hugo Docking, a filmmaker and the co-founder of Spare Flesh, a stop motion animation and puppetry studio based in the UK. His work is known for its grotesque puppets, dark musical shorts, and incredible craftsmanship that turns stop motion into body horror and twisted comedy.
Together, we chatted about Hugo’s introduction to horror through Salad Fingers, disturbing British children’s media, and how COVID brought him back to stop motion filmmaking. We also learned all about the universe of Spare Flesh and how a passion slowly became a career. We dove into films like Moving Parts and To The Brink, the art of mixing mediums, and creating work in a world of chaos and uncertainty.
We absolutely loved our conversation with Hugo and learning about his incredible mesh of horror, comedy, and animation, and we’re certain you will too, so …

In this episode, we’re joined by the director of yet another horror movie in theaters this month, André Øvredal, the filmmaker behind fan favorites like Trollhunter, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Now, he’s back with his latest supernatural horror film, Passenger.
Together, we had an awesome conversation about his history with horror, from a childhood memory of a haunted tennis court movie to obsessively reading Stephen King novels. We also dove into the behind-the-scenes of Trollhunter’s iconic VFX and his approach to finding humanity within monsters.
We also talked about his collaboration with Guillermo del Toro, van life culture as reflected in Passenger, and a super sick projection sequence in his latest film.
This episode is packed with great stories and insight into filmmaking as a craft. So …

This week, we’re joined by filmmaker, actor, and comedian, Curry Barker. Alongside his friend and collaborator Cooper Tomlinson, Curry is one of the minds behind the sketch comedy duo That’s a Bad Idea. He’s also the creator of a viral horror film, Milk & Serial, and now, his feature film Obsession is hitting theaters.
In this episode, we delve into Curry’s experience watching The Ring too young, what YouTube comment sections have taught him about trusting your audience, and how he approached making possession movies feel fresh again.
He also tells us about his swaggy style evolution and his upcoming work on a reimagining of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. We had an absolute blast talking with him, and you’ll have just as much fun listening in, so …

In this episode, we reunited with writer and director, Damian McCarthy, whose chilling new feature Hokum is now out in theaters. (It’s so terrifying that it reportedly made an audience member pee their pants during an early screening!) Starring Severance and Parks and Rec actor Adam Scott, the film is already off to a strong box office start.
We chatted with Damian about his experience collaborating with Adam and what he brought to the role of Ohm, the influence of Damian's Irish Catholic background on his writing, and the grueling experience of filming in a burning hot desert.
Plus, Damian teases his next horror film, which we already can’t wait to learn more about.
As always, it was nothing but a fantastic conversation with Damian, so …

This week, we did something new. It's just us, no guests. We're calling this segment "Pscyhoanalyze Me," and the whole idea is simple: you can learn a lot about someone by their movie picks.
So, in this episode, we put that to the test. We're talking first-date horror picks, villains we'd (maybe?) defend, hot monsters, and what film we'd want playing on our deathbed. Along the way, we're throwing out questions that are personality-revealing and really get you thinking.
If you're down for some wild questions (and maybe trying to answer them yourself), this episode is fun, introspective, and just a little unhinged. So ...

Hey Horror Fans!
The Book of the Dead is having a moment.
With Evil Dead: Burn dropping this July, Evil Dead: Wrath officially locked in for 2028, and Lee Cronin’s The Mummy keeping the Rise director in the conversation…it felt like the right time to go back to one of our earliest episodes!!
Back in March of 2021 we sat down with George Reinblatt, the creator of Evil Dead the Musical, to talk about what it takes to take one of horror’s most beloved franchises and turn it into a full blown stage production (complete with a Splatter Zone).
We get into the origins of the show, its Off-Broadway run, why local productions keep popping up every Halloween around the world, and the long, weird, wonderful history of horror and comedy sharing a stage.
Plus as always we open with some quick thoughts on the Evil Dead franchise’s current moment, some horror news, and close things out with our latest Mostly Horror Recommendations of the Week!
Grab your poncho… it’s gonna get groovy..

This week we're talking to Adam Dougherty; the practical effects artist and founder of KreatureKid Studios!!! We chat about monsters, movie magic, and an industry that seems to keep choosing the product and quantity over heart, art and quality ... lt's a conversation about craft, independence, and what happens when the thing you've dedicated your life to gets treated like an outdated over expense.
If you're feeling a little empty about the state of the world, country and industry then this one is for you so...

This week we did something a little different. For the first time ever we have a guest where we needed a translator and honestly... it was a blast!
We are thrilled to be joined by Japanese story teller Genki Kawamura who is the producer behind Your Name and Suzume, NYT bestselling novelist of If Cats Disappeared From the World , and director of A Hundred Flowers and his latest film Exit 8, the new adaptation of the viral indie horror game!
We talk about why liminal horror is having such a massive cultural moment, what it reflects about the world we're living in, and the art of adapting a game with almost no story into something that genuinely gets under your skin and heart. We also get some Japanese horror and film recommendations you're going to want to write down!
Exit 8 is in theaters now via Neon. Go see it.

Hey Horror Fans!!!
This week we sat down with comedian, creator and overall personality Katie Hettenback (Aka Katie Afraidy) from the Fangoria podcast Katie Afraidy and got into all sorts of nonsense.
Stand up horror tastes, the movies that shape you and the ones that expose you. Turns out talking about horror can reveal a little more than you mean it to..
A few hot takes, maybe some questionable calls. Nothing we can take back now!!
Also: Ed Gein bobbleheads, what actually counts as a zombie movie, and childhood goth phases. If you’re a fan of both things funny and scary, this is a gem, sooo …

This week Eric LaRocca is back on Mostly Horror for round three and we’re diving into his newest book Wretch: The Unbecoming of Porcelain Khaw.
This conversation goes to some interesting places. We get into grief, belief, and the ways people cope with loss, especially when that coping starts to drift into something a little more complicated. We talk about seeing meaning where there might not be any, the pull of certain ideas even when you know better, and how easy it is to blur that line.
We don’t really hold back on how we feel about any of it.
We also talk chatrooms, digital spaces, and what it means to shift into something more internal and psychological. Plus a bit on what’s coming next sooo...

This week we’re joined by Alec Duckart, the musician behind Searows, to talk about his new album Death in the Business of Whaling and all the stuff that feeds into his work.
We get into horror movies, growing up on things like The X-Files, and the films that have stuck with him over time, along with how that kind of atmosphere and storytelling shows up in his music. It’s a loose, honest conversation about influence, emotion, and making art that feels authentic and lived in sooo…

This week we’re joined by writer/director Ian Tuason, whose new A24 horror film Undertone is creeping into theaters March 13. The film plays with a deceptively simple question: what if the scariest thing in a movie isn’t what you see… but what you hear later?
We talk with Ian about building tension through sound, the eerie psychology of playback and EVP recordings, and why something as innocent as a children’s song can suddenly feel sinister when it’s heard through fresh ears. He also tells us about filming the movie in his own childhood home, the challenge of creating tension with minimal visuals, and the trust it takes to let actors experiment when they’re carrying so much of the film.
Plus, we get into what excites him about stepping into the world of Paranormal Activity next.
And of course, Ian builds his Spook’em Scare’em Starter Kit.
Headphones recommended...

Writer and director Matthew McManus hangs out with us this week to talk about making movies with family, jumping from comedy into genre, and taking on the multiverse.
From American Vandal to indie sci-fi with his brother Kevin, Matthew’s always had a sharp sense of tone. With Redux Redux, starring his sister Michaela, the McManus siblings build a time bending revenge story that feels intimate, intense, familiar and like something we haven’t seen before.
We get into collaborating with your siblings, shifting into darker spaces, handling big sci-fi ideas without losing the feeling, and why revenge stories are so hard to look away from.
It’s a really fun one. Some laughs, some process, some genuine movie love sooo…

This week we’re joined by visionary artist Skinner!!! The mind behind neon-drenched monsters, cosmic chaos, and some of the most visually stunning artwork in modern horror and heavy metal culture. From album art for Mastodon to Magic: The Gathering, tabletop games, toys, murals, and beyond, Skinner has built an entire universe fueled by imagination, nightmares and obsession.
We dive into his new YouTube series Art Show With Captain Skinner, the evolution of his creative philosophy, and how he balances instinct, technique, ego, burnout, and survival in our modern societal hellscape. It’s a conversation about monsters, mushrooms, interdimensional beings and why creativity might be the only sane response to an increasingly insane world.
We also talk a good deal about our cats…
If you like horror, art, psychedelic fantasy, practical effects, comics, puppets or artists who refuse to play it safe then this one’s for you sooo…

This week’s episode feels like a nice little time capsule.
We start with the latest horror news, including the new game from the studio behind Little Nightmares, updates on Jane Schoenbrun’s upcoming film Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, new details on Mike Flanagan’s Carrie series, and the newly announced title for the next Evil Dead installment, Evil Dead: Wrath, directed by Mostly Horror alumni Francis Galluppi, plus a few other stories from around the genre.
Then, since we’ve officially hit five years of Mostly Horror, we take a little time to look back. Instead of movie trivia, Steve quizzes Sean on trivia about the show itself. The most common guest name we’ve had over the years. Random stats from hundreds of interviews. Small details that somehow capture the history of this thing we’ve been building week after week.
It turns into a simple, fun way of reflecting on the conversations, the guests, and the moments that have defined the podcast so far.
We close, as always, with our Mostly Horror recommendations and what we’ve been watching lately.
Five years in, still talking horror, and still grateful for every single conversation along the way...Sooo

Hey horror fans!!
This week writer and filmmaker Matthew Robinson joins us to talk about his new genre bending thriller Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die, a modern day Twilight Zone style story that mixes AI, tech obsession, and social chaos with sharp humor and unexpected twists. Matthew shares behind the scenes stories about writing for a stacked ensemble cast, working with actors like Haley Lu Richardson and Sam Rockwell, and what it was like seeing the script transform once a director like Gore Verbinski came on board. He also talks about his breakthrough film The Invention of Lying and how co-directing with Ricky Gervais helped launch his career.
Before Matthew joins the conversation we cover the latest horror news including Mike Flanagan tackling Stephen Kings The Mist and of course finish with our Mostly Horror Recommendations of the Week.
If you love wild stories, clever twists, and hearing how movies get made, this is for you sooo...

This week on Mostly Horror, we’re doing a rewind episode and revisiting our early chat with David Firth, the creator of Salad Fingers and one of the most uncompromising voices in indie horror.
With the state of the world feeling increasingly surreal, scary, and downright absurd, this conversation felt like the right one to bring back. David’s work has always reflected the darker side of humanity with brutal honesty, and supporting independent filmmakers and artists who refuse to pull punches feels more important than ever.
Before the interview, we catch up on horror news, including the heartbreaking passing of Catherine O’Hara, who helped make some of our favorite movies ever made, and of course wrap things up with our Mostly Horror recommendations of the week where we talk about 28 Years Later: Bone Temple!!!
Whether you’re a longtime listener or brand new to Mostly Horror, we think this episode will hit the spot sooo...

This week we’re joined by award winning filmmaker Greg Porper, writer, director, and producer of the darkly funny indie feature Don’t Tell Larry, now streaming on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. We talk about the film’s evolution from a scrappy web series into a feature, finding the right tone for a workplace comedy that slowly spirals into something more stressful and unsettling, and how a small lie can snowball into complete chaos.
Greg breaks down the real world inspiration behind Larry...that coworker thats just a bit off and no one wants to deal with and how performances from Kiel Kennedy, Patty Guggenheim, Kenneth Mosley, and Ed Begley Jr. helped shape the film in unexpected ways. We also dig into casting surprises, comedic timing, and the blurry line between comedy and horror where laughter turns nervous; tension builds without release and the movie refuses to let you off the hook. Along the way Greg shares stories from the DIY side of production, lessons learned making an indie film right now and what’s next for him after Don’t Tell Larry.
And as usual before the chat we catch up on some horror news and afterward we wrap things up with our Mostly Horror Recommendations of the Week sooo...

This week on Mostly Horror, we step into the ring with professional wrestler and horror fan Vinny Pacifico. We talk about the overlap between wrestling and horror, from larger than life characters and spectacle to violence, fear, and performance. Vinny also joins us to discuss his work in horror, including Crimzon Harvest and the wrestling infused Mr. Reset and the Society of Turnbuckle & Bone, plus what’s next for him in and out of the ring!
And as always, before the interview we run through the latest horror news, and after the conversation we wrap things up with our Mostly Horror Recommendations of the week.
It’s a fun, wide ranging conversation about performance, pain, and fandom so whether you’re a lifelong wrestling fan, a horror obsessive, or just curious how the two worlds collide, this ones for you sooo...

Filmmaker Christophe Gans (Silent Hill, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Beauty and the Beast) joins Mostly Horror to talk about the power of video games as a storytelling medium, what makes Silent Hill one of the most haunting and enduring horror franchises of all time, and what it was like to return to that world nearly 20 years later with Return to Silent Hill.
We explore why Silent Hill’s brand of psychological, atmospheric horror continues to resonate, how trauma and guilt shape its monsters, what separates Silent Hill from more action forward horror adaptations, and what truly makes a great monster linger in the mind long after the credits roll.
But before venturing into the fog, Sean and Steve break down the latest horror news, and after escaping from Silent Hill, they round things out with their Mostly Horror recommendations of the week.
It's a haunting hangout you're not going to want to miss sooo...

It’s January, so we’re pulling out the horror crystal ball and looking ahead at what 2026 has in store. Friend of the Pod Gigi Leal (RoomforScream) joins us to go through a stacked list of upcoming horror movies and just… scream at each other like horror fans do.
We get into things we’re excited about, things we’re nervous about, and things we’re already overthinking way too much—covering titles like Evil Dead Burn from Sébastien Vaniček, Robert Eggers’ Werwulf, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple directed by Nia DaCosta, Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil, and more. No spoilers, no release date breakdowns, just gut reactions, hopes, fears, and a lot of speculation about what might actually hit.
What feels promising? What could completely fall apart? And which movies are we already emotionally attached to despite knowing better?
If you like looking ahead at upcoming horror, guessing wildly, and getting cautiously excited about movies we haven’t seen yet, this one’s for you sooo...

We’re starting 2026 the Mostly Horror way!! Talking horror with friends and arguing about what scared us the most.
For our first episode of the new year, we’re joined once again by Mike Scollins, writer for Late Night with Seth Meyers and a longtime friend of the show. Mike’s been on with us plenty of times before, from general horror hangouts, to breaking down Scream 6, to helping us celebrate past Spook’em Scare’em Awards, and now he’s back to do it again.
This isn’t a traditional awards show. There’s no voting, no winners, and no attempt at consensus. It’s just us looking back at the horror movies of 2025 and calling out what really stuck with us. The best deaths, the scariest moments, the most memorable monsters, standout international horror, and more. We don’t always agree, and that’s kind of the point.
If you’re catching up on what horror delivered in 2025, or you just want to hear three people who love the genre dig into what worked and what didn’t, then this one’s for you.
So HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Make some of your resolutions to tell a friend about the show, watch more horror, and…

Pull your chair a little closer and turn the lights down. This week on Mostly Horror, it’s just Sean and Steve, inviting listeners to settle in for a set of holiday stories best heard late at night.
After a brief stop in horror news, they share three chilling Holiday tales pulled from dark corners of the internet. A man visiting his mother wakes up to discover something important has vanished. A father tries to capture footage of Santa for his children and ends up watching something he can’t unsee. And two sisters driving through a forest road nearly hit something in the dark that refuses to stop following them.
These are quiet, creeping stories meant to linger long after the episode ends, the kind that make every sound in the house feel a little louder. This is your warning and your invitation...
Settle in, grab your forks and press play for a Creepy Christmas Pasta episode.
From Mostly Horror, they wish everyone listening a very spooky Christmas. 🎄👻

With the holiday season in full swing and schedules getting messy, this week’s Mostly Horror episode came together a little differently. With no guest and a last minute pivot, Sean and Steve sit down to talk through what’s been happening across the horror landscape lately.
The episode kicks off with a rundown of recent news, from the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer to updates on the ever evolving world of M3GAN, plus talk of a new Steven Spielberg alien film that has everyone speculating. As always, the conversation drifts, digs in, and follows the threads wherever they lead.
We wrap things up with our Mostly Horror Recommendations of the Week, sharing what we’ve been watching and thinking about lately and what might be worth your time next.
A shorter episode than usual, but a nice little check in as 2025 gasps its final breaths sooo...

This week on Mostly Horror, we are absolutely honored to be joined by the writer of Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Addams Family, Corpse Bride, Homeward Bound, The Secret Garden, Black Beauty and more... Caroline Thompson.
Caroline is one of the quiet architects of our childhoods, a storyteller whose work shaped entire generations without ever being given or demanding the spotlight. In this conversation, she opens up about discovering her voice, meeting Tim Burton, crafting characters inspired by her animals, and the real Hollywood stories behind some of the most iconic films ever made.
It’s nostalgic, emotional, funny, and full of the kind of craft and career wisdom that only Caroline can give. If these movies meant anything to you growing up then this episode will feel like coming home...

This week on Mostly Horror, we’re joined by the absolute legend: Matthew Lillard. From Scream to Thirteen Ghosts, Scooby-Doo, and now the ever-expanding Five Nights at Freddy’s universe, Lillard has carved out one of the most beloved and eclectic careers in genre cinema. We talk about his long-standing place in horror, the massive energy he brings to conventions, and why fans still rally around characters like Stu Macher after nearly 30 years.
With FNAF 2 on the way, we dive into his role as William Afton, the fandom that made the franchise a phenomenon, and how it feels to step deeper into a character who’s become the Voldemort of video game horror. We also get into his lifelong love of Dungeons & Dragons, his work with Beadle & Grimm’s and Quest’s End whiskey, and why tabletop storytelling continues to shape the way he approaches his craft and his life.
As always, beforehand we kick things off with the latest horror news then we wrap everything up with our Mostly Horror Recommendations of the Week!

Jess joins the boys for a wild, spoiler free conversation about transgressive fiction, cult psychology, why Marie Antoinette’s legacy is more complex than you've heard, and how the grotesque can be used to explore power, femininity, and body autonomy in bold new ways. It’s funny, it’s weird, it’s thoughtful, and Jess is an absolute blast to talk to.
Before the interview, the guys dive into the latest horror news, and after, they close things out with this week’s Mostly Horror Recs.

Hey Horror Fans!!!
It’s the second week of spooky season and we’re joined by the one and only Henry Zebrowski, the podcasting legend, comedian, and actor you know from Last Podcast on the Left, Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell, and The Wolf of Wall Street.
Sean’s been waiting years for this one, and it does not disappoint. We chat horror, aliens, and the blurry line between both, from Henry’s years of UFO fascination to the psychic weirdness of the phenomenon itself. Plus, Henry tells us all about his upcoming film UFO: Unbelievably Friendly Organisms and how fans can help bring it to life through the ongoing Kickstarter campaign.
It’s a wonderful chat, perfect to absorb into your ear holes this spooky season, so if you’re down to get abducted, put on your tin foil hats and COME HANG OUT!!! 👽🎃

Spooky season is here and Steve and Sean are kicking it off with a loaded Mostly Horror Rewind. The guys start with some fresh horror news including a new cinematic R L Stine project, a revamp of Young Frankenstein, and Michael Shanks’ bizarrely titled Hotel Hotel Hotel Hotel.
Then it is back to one of their all time favorite conversations with writer, director, and producer Bryan Bertino. Bertino gave us The Monster and The Dark and the Wicked, but he is best known for writing and directing The Strangers, a film that remains foundational for Steve and Sean and still towers over the recent reboot trilogy. With The Strangers Chapter 2 now out in the world, it is the perfect time to revisit why the original is a horror masterpiece.
To wrap things up, Steve shares his commitment to watch 31 spooky movies in 31 days this October and runs through some of the titles on his list.
If you are ready for horror news, deep dives, and a full on spooky season hang then...

This week on Mostly Horror, Sean and Steve welcome back horror master Clay McLeod Chapman for a fun, introspective and wide ranging conversation. Clay talks about bringing his unique brand of dread to Marvel Comics (including Spiderman, Venom and Carnage), the eerie origins of his graphic novel Seance in the Asylum, and the twisted delights of his brand new short story collection Acquired Tastes.
From cursed cravings, handsy carrots, haunted history and breast pumps, Clay has a way of making even the strangest ideas feel disturbingly human, and he joins us to dig into the art of the horror short story, why collections are underrated treasure troves, and how grief, obsession, and madness creep into his work.

Things didn’t go quite as planned this week on Mostly Horror, but sometimes that makes for the most interesting conversations. With our guest lineup shifting last minute, we start by unpacking the shocking news of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, reflecting on his controversial career, the polarizing reactions online, and the bigger cultural questions moments like this stir up. From there, we rewind to one of our earliest interviews with Goosebumps illustrator Tim Jacobus, a creative influence who shaped our love of horror from the start. It’s an unusual mix of current events and horror nostalgia, but it all comes together as a reminder of why we explore the dark, the strange, and the unforgettable in every episode.

This week on Mostly Horror we welcome back acclaimed author Eric LaRocca, one of the most exciting voices shaping modern horror. Eric is a three time Bram Stoker Award finalist, Shirley Jackson Award nominee, and Splatterpunk Award winner, recently praised by Esquire as a writer helping lead horror into its next golden age.
We talk about Eric’s upcoming novel We Are Always Tender With Our Dead, the first entry in the Burnt Sparrow trilogy arriving September 9th. The story explores America’s fixation on mass shootings and how horror can help us process collective tragedy. We also dive into the controversial nature of horror itself and the conversations around what themes and subjects the genre should or shouldn’t address.
Along the way Eric reflects on how their work has evolved since Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke and Everything the Darkness Eats, while digging into abominations, animal imagery, and what it means to cross thresholds. We also cover dream adaptation ideas, the lasting impact Eric hopes to leave with readers, and a brand new round of the Spook’em Scare’em Starter Kit.
This is also one of our first episodes since moving from Wondery to SiriusXM, which means new episodes now arrive every Thursday wherever you listen!!! Sooo...

Writer, director, producer, and actor Macon Blair joins us this week to talk about his fascinating career, and his bold new take on a cult classic: the unrated remake of The Toxic Avenger (in theaters August 29).
You’ve seen Macon on screen in films like Blue Ruin, Green Room, Thunder Road, and even Oppenheimer. He also won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize with his directorial debut I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore, starring Melanie Lynskey and Elijah Wood. Now, he’s back with a gooey genre shift...reimagining Lloyd Kaufman’s radioactive hero for a new generation while honoring the messy, subversive spirit of Troma.
We dig into Macon’s creative path from Murder Party with Jeremy Saulnier all the way to working with Elijah Wood and Peter Dinklage on this bonkers new Toxie. Along the way, we talk about practical effects (yes, intestines are involved), absurd kills that didn’t make the cut, the challenges of redesigning an iconic monster, and why The Toxic Avenger might actually be the perfect antidote to the Marvel-ification of movies.
and of course we ask the important question… when can we expect 2oxic 2venger: Toxie vs Dracula vs the Unicorn’s Horn in Space?
If you love cult cinema, superhero parodies, or just a good old fashioned over the top practical effect, you don’t want to miss this conversation sooo...

This week on Mostly Horror, we’re kicking back with horror influencer Gigi Leal (@RoomforScream) for a proper Horror Hangout.
We start with the question on everyone’s mind: what exactly is going on with this new War of the Worlds movie starring Ice Cube? It’s a screen-life take on the H.G. Wells classic, dropped on Prime Video in July, and somehow managed to land a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Depending on who you ask, it’s either a chaotic disaster full of bad CGI and shameless product placement or a campy mess worth watching with friends.
Then Sean talks about the thing he’s actually excited for: Last Podcast on the Left’s Henry Zebrowski is working on an alien comedy called UFO: Unbelievably Friendly Organisms. Details are scarce, but the title alone already has us sold.
From there, Gigi brings some sharp horror hot takes, we trade recommendations you’ll want to add to your watchlist immediately, and end up covering everything from comfort horror to movies that make you want to scream into the void.
If you’re into horror news, spicy opinions, and finding your next favorite creepy flick, this one’s for you sooo...

Joseph Kahn has directed some of the most iconic music videos of all time...Say My Name by Destiny’s Child, Everybody by the Backstreet Boys, Without Me by Eminem, Bad Blood by Taylor Swift…the list goes on. But he’s also a filmmaker who refuses to play it safe. His newest film, ICK, is a wild, splattery horror comedy that somehow feels both unhinged and deeply personal.
This week we sit down with Joseph to talk about his journey from shaping pop culture to using monsters as metaphors for modern apathy. They dig into the film’s messy tone, the real life frustrations that inspired it, and what he hopes people take away from it.
This one’s funny, sharp, and full of fake blood. Just how we like it sooo...

This week, we’re joined once again by internationally touring DJ, producer, streamer and horror head Cray for a wide ranging conversation about one of our favorite unofficial subgenres: Slutty Horror.
What started as a joke quickly spiraled into a full blown thesis. Together, we try to define the undefinable. What makes a horror movie slutty? Is it the aesthetic? The attitude? The blood slicked lip gloss and reckless decision making, a cast as hot as the day is long? All of it?
We talk icons, archetypes, monster crushes, party playlists, and the undeniable connection between horniness and horror. It’s weird, it’s fun, and its SOOO slutty.
You're gonna love it sooo...

Hey Horror Fans!!!
In this episode of Mostly Horror, we dive into Sinners, Ryan Coogler’s Southern Gothic vampire film that blends horror, history, and culture in a masterful way. This isn’t just a vampire story, it’s a reminder that art and music are fundamental parts of our human spirit, something many cultures, especially the Black community, have held onto and treasured even in the face of oppression. Especially in the face of oppression.
We explore how Sinners reflects this deep connection to creativity as essential to identity and survival, and how it challenges institutions that try to suppress or control that spirit. The film’s rich themes and striking imagery gave us a lot to talk about so if you’re into horror that’s thoughtful and layered, this episode is for you!!! Sooooooo...

Twenty-eight years later... and we have thoughts.
This week, Steve and Sean dive into the latest entry in Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s iconic rage virus saga: 28 Years Later. From callbacks to the haunting original, to gas explosions that defy logic, to the viral evolution of zombie horror.. Lets chat about it all. Along the way, the guys reflect on the legacy of 28 Days Later, the raw power of Cillian Murphy's debut, and what happens when grief, survival, and one drop of blood collide.
If you love apocalyptic horror, heart breaking explorations of grief, angry fast zombies, and watching humanity lose its mind one mistake at a time then this one’s for you so...

With Steve out this week, Sean summoned three of our oldest friends. Bruce Christopher (aka Portia Davis), Brandon Coulter (aka Ghus), and Cameron Gawne (resident zookeeper and horror nerd) for a boozy séance and horror hangout.
They kick things off with some horror news, covering the upcoming Alien: Earth series, Robert Eggers' now confirmed to take on A Christmas Carol, and A24’s terrifying Backrooms adaptation.
Then things get paranormal (and kind of unhinged) as they summon the souls of the dead via a spirit board game (a horror movie themed 20 Questions where each of them channels the ghost of a slain horror movie victim, and the others try to guess who died horribly. Spoiler..they get progressively drunker and worse at it.)
So come for the news, stay for the chaos. Light a candle, pour a drink, and join the séance!!!

Hey Horror Fans!!!
This week we are joined by David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano, the filmmakers (and real life couple) behind I Don’t Understand You, a sharp and offbeat dark comedy about an American couple navigating the adoption process while on vacation in Italy. As tensions rise and misunderstandings multiply, the film explores what it means to stay connected when everything around you starts to fall apart...and turn murderous!!
We talk with David and Brian about drawing from their own journey toward parenthood, how they approached the story’s unique mix of humor and discomfort, and why they wanted to center a queer couple whose love isn’t in question. We also get into the pitch perfect performances from Nick Kroll and Andrew Rannells, the grounding warmth of Amanda Seyfried, and the joy of working with Italian legend Nunzia Schiano.
Funny, tense, tender, violent and totally original, this is a conversation you wont want to miss about love under pressure, identity abroad, and the messy beauty of trying to be understood sooo....

Hey Horror Fans!!!
This week we dive into the deep and shark infested waters of Dangerous Animals with filmmaker Sean Byrne!
This film subverts the usual shark horror story, making it clear that while sharks can be very dangerous they are not the real monsters...Man is. Sean breaks down why sending this message was crucial to the story.
We also talk Australia’s unique horror scene and wildlife, the origins of the project, and hear a story of a crew member’s real life shark attack during filming (they are okay!)
Plus Sean shares his Spook’em Scare’em Starter Kit!
If you like horror with some real bite and a powerful message, this one is for you so...

Hey Horror Fans!!!
This week on Mostly Horror, we're joined by writer, producer, and horror legend Jeffrey Reddick—the creator of Final Destination. We dive deep into Jeffrey’s wild journey from writing a Nightmare on Elm Street prequel at age 14 to creating one of horror’s most iconic franchises.
Jeffrey opens up about the state of representation in the industry, sharing personal stories about navigating Hollywood as a queer Black creator. We talk about the pressure to conform, the myth that diversity is a risk, and how films like Sinners are proving just how wrong that is.
We also touch on the origins of Flight 180, the everyday objects that now give people anxiety, the brilliance of Tony Todd, and how Final Destination continues to evolve even without him directly involved.

Hey horror fans!
This week we’re joined by Isaiah Saxon, director of A24’s The Legend of Ochi and co-founder of the visionary film and animation studio Encyclopedia Pictura.
We talk about Isaiah’s early creative roots, from drawing and stop-motion to building the kid-focused platform DIY.org, and how all of that shaped his unique approach to storytelling. Then we dive deep into the stunning handmade world of Carpathia—filled with puppets, animatronics, painted maps, 1930s lenses, and big heart.
Isaiah shares what it was like working with Willem Dafoe and Helena Zengel, how he blends mythology and music, and why he believes films should feel like moving paintings instead of hyper-reality.
We left this conversation genuinely inspired; Isaiah is someone bringing magic back to movies in a way we haven’t seen in a long time.
If you’re into bold storytelling, weird creatures, and fantasy flicks from the ’80s and ’90s, this one’s for you so...

Author Clay McLeod Chapman has done it all.. short stories, novels, a TON of comics, and screenplays for both indie and big-name films.
In this episode, we talk about his wild and winding journey through the horror genre.. from an early indie short that caught Elijah Wood’s eye, to co-writing Wendell & Wild with Henry Selick and Jordan Peele, and what a chaotic, drawn-out process making a movie can really be… even when you're working with legends.
Then we dive face first into Clay’s newest novel Wake Up and Open Your Eyes, which hit us on a deeply personal level. It’s a searing, surreal exploration of what it feels like to watch loved ones be consumed and "possessed" by extremist ideologies. We talk about the slow erosion of identity, the horror of misinformation, and how fiction can humanize without excusing.
It’s honest, emotional, and one of our favorite conversations yet so...

Writer and director Chris Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky, We Have a Ghost) joins us to talk about his latest thriller, DROP, a tension-filled ride that turns a simple phone feature into pure terror. We dive into his collaboration with Josh Ruben on Heart Eyes, creating an experience with tension, laughs and a bunch of heart, and the moments that make DROP truly unsettling.
But we also dig into the bigger industry conversations...why he parted ways with the Arachnophobia remake, the internet backlash surrounding Scream 7, and Hollywood’s ongoing fear of queer horror. Chris opens up about writing a major horror IP with a gay lead only for the project to be shut down..and the frustrating reality of studios playing it safe.
Plus, AirDrop horror stories, the therapy hidden in his films, and so much more so...

Samara Weaving (Ready or Not, Scream VI, The Babysitter) and her husband, writer-director Jimmy Warden (Cocaine Bear, The Babysitter: Killer Queen), sit down with us to talk all things Borderline—a darkly twisted thriller about fame, obsession, and dangerous attraction. Samara stars as Sofia, a former ‘90s pop star trapped in a psychological game with an unhinged fan (Ray Nicholson), and Jimmy pulls back the curtain on making his feature directorial debut alongside his wife.
We dive into the film’s wild creative process, Samara’s electric chemistry with Ray, and what it was like directing a film that blurs the line between love and madness. Plus, they share a hilarious (and slightly eerie) real-life story about being followed home—eerily fitting for Borderline’s themes.
Beyond the film, we talk The Babysitter, Cocaine Bear, and Samara’s rise as a modern scream queen. And yes, we ask about Ready or Not 2—how could we not?

Flying Lotus (Kuso, And SO much music you should check out) joins us for a deep dive into his latest sci-fi horror film ASH, his evolution as a filmmaker, and the twisted creative vision that drives his work. We explore how he built the film’s eerie atmosphere, why horror speaks to him as an artist, and some of the building blocks that gave us this out of this world (pun intended) movie.

Plus, we discuss how his music career has influenced his approach to filmmaking and storytelling.
Topics include:
- Directing ASH and crafting its unsettling world
- How Adult Swim helped shape his career

They discuss rumors of Robert Eggers possibly directing a Labyrinth sequel with the Jim Henson Company, Bret Easton Ellis casting doubt on the legitimacy of Austin Butler playing Patrick Bateman in a new American Psycho project, and some surprising CGI updates to Alien: Romulus for its physical release.

Finally, Eric takes on the Spook’em Scare’em Starter Kit with some delightfully twisted prompts inspired by giallo, monsters, and more!

Hey Horror Fans!
This week, We are joined by Emily C. Hughes, author of Horror for Weenies!
In our conversation Emily shares her journey into horror, from the childhood moments that scared her away to the realization a decade later that she was hooked on the genre.
We dive into the unique challenges faced by "horror weenies"—those who fear the screams on screen but still want to join the conversation as horror becomes increasingly more popular than every before. Emily’s book bridges the gap, offering readers a friendly hand as they step into the void.
While we were initially hesitant about the concept of enabling spoilers, Horror for Weenies won us over with its thoughtful approach and Why It Matters sections that explore the cultural and historical significance of each film.
Whether you’re a seasoned horror lover or a curious newcomer, this episode (and Emily’s book) has something for everyone so...

Hey Horror Fans!
This week on Mostly Horror, we welcome back the incredible CJ Leede, author of Maeve Fly and now American Rapture.
In this conversation we dive deep into the timely themes of her latest work—a novel that explores the raw and terrifying consequences of political and social powers and pressures, especially as they impact women.
The conversation couldn’t have come at a more potent moment, with Donald Trump's recent, stomach-churning victory in the 2024 election casting a shadow over rights and freedoms.
We chat with CJ about everything from the dangers of groupthink to the ongoing battle for women’s bodily autonomy. Using a global, sex-crazed zombie virus outbreak as a metaphor, American Rapture tackles issues of consent, agency, and the dissection of toxic religious beliefs and systems. CJ’s knack for intertwining internal horror with searing social commentary makes her a master of the genre, and we can’t wait to dig into this latest work and more of what’s to come from her remarkable mind.
Its a fun and important conversation you won't want to miss so...
