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 ...  COME HANG OUT!!!

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 … COME HANG OUT!!!

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 ... COME HANG OUT!!!

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 ... COME HANG OUT!!!

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 … COME HANG OUT!!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Beyond her passion for horror, Katie Hettenbach is also a stand-up comedian. In this episode, we get into her horror origins, her journey into stand-up, and how those two worlds collide in her work. She opens up about the often terrifying reality of performing live and facing an audience on stage, but also how it can be cathartic. We also chat about the experience of being starstruck while interviewing guests (as fellow podcasters), what should be considered part of the horror genre, and some pretty interesting horror hot takes. 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 fun one, so … COME HANG OUT!!!

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.

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... COME HANG OUT!!!

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… COME HANG OUT!!!

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...COME HANG OUT!!!

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...COME HANG OUT!!!

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...COME HANG OUT!!!

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.

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...COME HANG OUT!!!Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage (all socials)Sean: @hypocrite.ink (IG/TikTok), @hypocriteink (Twitter/X)Enjoyed this episode?

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.

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.
