We love Mel Brooks. He is responsible for some of the funniest movies of all time. Young Frankenstein is also one of the best adaptations the Mary Shelley classic ever made. So, we were both excited to hear about the sequel to Spaceballs. We rank our favorite movies from Brooks and why Spaceballs once disappointed us.We are also huge fans of Fright Night. While there was a great remake in the early 2010s, you just do not hear enough about it. Despite having one of horror's most iconic lines, it does not get that much love. This week, we have two bits of news; one is concrete; one is its rumored connection to one of the most infamous murders of all time.This year for Pride Month we are discussing The Last Thing Mary Saw. It is a great bit of folk horror that is frightening, atmospheric, and filled with great characters. The mystery is engaging and the performances are top notch. It also treats its queer subject matter with a sensitivity that is not seen enough.The first six months just whooshed by and we have a lot to discuss. We cover a wide range of topics. Why do we sometimes consider no longer reviewing documentaries? The good and bad of AI in film. More folk horror, a slasher, and a reverse exorcism all enter our conversation about 2025's first six months. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

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

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.

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

Hey Horror Fans!!!This week on Mostly Horror, Steve and Sean dig into some intriguing horror headlines! 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.Then, they sit down with the incredible Eric LaRocca to discuss his chilling new novella At Dark I Become Loathsome. Eric opens up about the catharsis of horror, how long-held fears like cancer and mortality evolve into recurring themes in his work, and why he's fascinated by the monstrous things humans do to one another. They also dive into his influences, from Clive Barker to Universal Monsters, and the delicate balance between beauty and depravity in his storytelling.Finally, Eric takes on the Spook'em Scare'em Starter Kit with some delightfully twisted prompts inspired by giallo, monsters, and more!This episode is incredibly insightful, unsettling, and a whole lot of fun so...COME HANG OUT!!!Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage on all socialsSean: @hypocrite.ink on IG/TikTok, @hypocriteink on Twitter/XEnjoy this episode?

It's eve of Halloween (or "All Hallows' Eve-Eve"), and so it seemed appropriate to do an episode all about QUEER HORROR! When writer and film analyst BJ Colangelo was first on the pod back in March of 2022, we scratched the surface of the indelible link between queerness and the horror genre. Now, in honor of spooky season, BJ is back with her wife Harmony for an exhaustive deep dive! The Wives Colangelo (TM) discuss how, when it comes to horror, "the absolute building blocks and foundational texts of the genre are either made by queer people, or they are queer stories." It's an episode full of revelations (Chucky has a non-binary kid?! Hellraiser is based on gay S&M clubs?!) and controversial hot takes! Whether you're a horror aficionado or, like Lauren, you only ever watch the smooching scene compilations on YouTube, it's a thoroughly delightful and absolutely fascinating episode about how our community SLAYS the horror genre (#halloweenpuns). Listen...IF YOU DARE!!Check out BJ's writing at /Film (SlashFilm) and follow her everywhere at @bjcolangelo, follow Harmony on Twitter and Instagram at @veloci_trap_tor, and purchase "Sleepaway Camp" through DieDieBooks or digitally at Amazon! Also listen to This Ends at Prom wherever you get your podcasts, and follow @ThisEndsAtProm on all platforms.
In previous episodes, we explored how queer themes have been woven into horror for over 250 years, highlighting that the genre has always had an inherently queer essence. It resonates with many members of the LGBTQ+ community since it often reflects feelings of otherness, fear, and survival, which are familiar experiences for those who have faced societal marginalization.In this episode, Sean Abley, a horror journalist, award-winning playwright, and creator of Gay of the Dead, joins us to discuss the significance of queer representation, the power of building a horror community, and his latest project, Queer Horror: A Film Guide.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 28.

In previous episodes, we've explored how queer themes have been woven into horror for over 250 years, mirroring experiences of otherness, fear, and survival—common realities for those facing societal marginalization. Today, the horror genre has transcended traditional media channels, expanding its reach through platforms like YouTube and podcasts, where creators can explore these themes in fresh, innovative ways.In this episode, Bobby Torrez, a horror YouTuber and podcaster, joins us to discuss the ins and outs of his horror reviews, navigate stereotypes and tropes in horror, and discuss how queer horror can push boundaries to become even more inclusive.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 28.
