Episode 267: CJ Leede's Newest Book, "Headlights"
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!!!

Episode 266: The World of Spare Flesh with Hugo Docking
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!!!

Episode 265: From "Trollhunter" to "Passenger" with André Øvredal
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 … COME HANG OUT!!!

Episode 264: Inside "Obsession" with Curry Barker
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 … COME HANG OUT!!!

Episode 263: Damian McCarthy's New Film "Hokum"
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 … COME HANG OUT!!!

Episode 262: Psychoanalyze Me!
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 ... COME HANG OUT!!!

Hey Horror Fans! The Book of the Dead is having a moment.

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!
