About this listen

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.

💀 Plus: Jeffrey’s picks in our Spook’em Scare’em Starter Kit!

It's a time to die for soooo...

COME HANG OUT!!!
