Plus, Henry tells us all about his upcoming film UFO: Unbelievably Friendly Organisms and how fans can help bring it to life through the ongoing Kickstarter campaign.

    It’s a wonderful chat, perfect to absorb into your ear holes this spooky season, so if you’re down to get abducted, put on your tin foil hats and COME HANG OUT!!! 👽🎃

  • The Strangers Revisited: Mostly Horror Rewind with Writer/Director Bryan Bertino
    Oct 2 2025

    Spooky season is here and Steve and Sean are kicking it off with a loaded Mostly Horror Rewind. The guys start with some fresh horror news including a new cinematic R L Stine project, a revamp of Young Frankenstein, and Michael Shanks’ bizarrely titled Hotel Hotel Hotel Hotel.

    Then it is back to one of their all time favorite conversations with writer, director, and producer Bryan Bertino. Bertino gave us The Monster and The Dark and the Wicked, but he is best known for writing and directing The Strangers, a film that remains foundational for Steve and Sean and still towers over the recent reboot trilogy. With The Strangers Chapter 2 now out in the world, it is the perfect time to revisit why the original is a horror masterpiece.

    To wrap things up, Steve shares his commitment to watch 31 spooky movies in 31 days this October and runs through some of the titles on his list.

    If you are ready for horror news, deep dives, and a full on spooky season hang then...

    COME HANG OUT!!!

  • Author Clay McLeod Chapman Feeds Our Acquired Tastes
    Sep 18 2025

    This week on Mostly Horror, Sean and Steve welcome back horror master Clay McLeod Chapman for a fun, introspective and wide ranging conversation. Clay talks about bringing his unique brand of dread to Marvel Comics (including Spiderman, Venom and Carnage), the eerie origins of his graphic novel Seance in the Asylum, and the twisted delights of his brand new short story collection Acquired Tastes.

    From cursed cravings, handsy carrots, haunted history and breast pumps, Clay has a way of making even the strangest ideas feel disturbingly human, and he joins us to dig into the art of the horror short story, why collections are underrated treasure troves, and how grief, obsession, and madness creep into his work.

    If you love horror that is darkly funny, deeply unsettling, and endlessly imaginative, you will not want to miss this episode sooo...

  • Mostly Horror Rewind: Goosebumps Illustrator Tim Jacobus
    Sep 11 2025

    Things didn’t go quite as planned this week on Mostly Horror, but sometimes that makes for the most interesting conversations. With our guest lineup shifting last minute, we start by unpacking the shocking news of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, reflecting on his controversial career, the polarizing reactions online, and the bigger cultural questions moments like this stir up. From there, we rewind to one of our earliest interviews with Goosebumps illustrator Tim Jacobus, a creative influence who shaped our love of horror from the start. It’s an unusual mix of current events and horror nostalgia, but it all comes together as a reminder of why we explore the dark, the strange, and the unforgettable in every episode.
