This week we’re joined by visionary artist Skinner!!! The mind behind neon-drenched monsters, cosmic chaos, and some of the most visually stunning artwork in modern horror and heavy metal culture. 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…

This week’s episode feels like a nice little time capsule.

We start with the latest horror news, including the new game from the studio behind Little Nightmares, updates on Jane Schoenbrun’s upcoming film Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, new details on Mike Flanagan’s Carrie series, and the newly announced title for the next Evil Dead installment, Evil Dead: Wrath, directed by Mostly Horror alumni Francis Galluppi, plus a few other stories from around the genre.

Then, since we’ve officially hit five years of Mostly Horror, we take a little time to look back. Instead of movie trivia, Steve quizzes Sean on trivia about the show itself. The most common guest name we’ve had over the years. Random stats from hundreds of interviews. Small details that somehow capture the history of this thing we’ve been building week after week.

It turns into a simple, fun way of reflecting on the conversations, the guests, and the moments that have defined the podcast so far.

We close, as always, with our Mostly Horror recommendations and what we’ve been watching lately.

Five years in, still talking horror, and still grateful for every single conversation along the way...Sooo

COME HANG OUT!!!

Hey horror fans!!

This week writer and filmmaker Matthew Robinson joins us to talk about his new genre bending thriller Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die, a modern day Twilight Zone style story that mixes AI, tech obsession, and social chaos with sharp humor and unexpected twists. Matthew shares behind the scenes stories about writing for a stacked ensemble cast, working with actors like Haley Lu Richardson and Sam Rockwell, and what it was like seeing the script transform once a director like Gore Verbinski came on board. He also talks about his breakthrough film The Invention of Lying and how co-directing with Ricky Gervais helped launch his career.

Before Matthew joins the conversation we cover the latest horror news including Mike Flanagan tackling Stephen Kings The Mist and of course finish with our Mostly Horror Recommendations of the Week.

If you love wild stories, clever twists, and hearing how movies get made, this is for you sooo...
