Episode 274: Her Private Hell With Director Nicholas Winding Refn
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... COME HANG OUT!!!

Episode 273: Evil Dead Burn!!!
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!!!

Episode 272: Mostly Horror Rewind — Disasterpeace, "It Follows" Composer
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... COME HANG OUT!!!

Episode 271: Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep with Paul Tremblay
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 … COME HANG OUT!!!

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 ...

Episode 269: The Making of "Leviticus" with Adrian Chiarella
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!!!

Episode 268: Getting Lost in the Backrooms
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!!!

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!!!
