Mostly Horror

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...COME HANG OUT!!!   Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage (all socials)Sean: @hypocrite.ink (IG/TikTok), @hypocriteink (Twitter/X)Enjoyed this episode? Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform to help us reach more horror fans like you!

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.   Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage (all socials)Sean: @hypocrite.ink (IG/TikTok), @hypocriteink (Twitter/X)Enjoyed this episode? Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform to help us reach more horror fans like you!

This week on Mostly Horror we welcome back acclaimed author Eric LaRocca, one of the most exciting voices shaping modern horror. Eric is a three time Bram Stoker Award finalist, Shirley Jackson Award nominee, and Splatterpunk Award winner, recently praised by Esquire as a writer helping lead horror into its next golden age. We talk about Eric’s upcoming novel We Are Always Tender With Our Dead, the first entry in the Burnt Sparrow trilogy arriving September 9th. The story explores America’s fixation on mass shootings and how horror can help us process collective tragedy. We also dive into the controversial nature of horror itself and the conversations around what themes and subjects the genre should or shouldn’t address. Along the way Eric reflects on how their work has evolved since Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke and Everything the Darkness Eats, while digging into abominations, animal imagery, and what it means to cross thresholds. We also cover dream adaptation ideas, the lasting impact Eric hopes to leave with readers, and a brand new round of the Spook’em Scare’em Starter Kit. This is also one of our first episodes since moving from Wondery to SiriusXM, which means new episodes now arrive every Thursday wherever you listen!!!

This week on Mostly Horror, we’re kicking back with horror influencer Gigi Leal (@RoomforScream) for a proper Horror Hangout.We start with the question on everyone’s mind: what exactly is going on with this new War of the Worlds movie starring Ice Cube? It’s a screen-life take on the H.G. Wells classic, dropped on Prime Video in July, and somehow managed to land a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Depending on who you ask, it’s either a chaotic disaster full of bad CGI and shameless product placement or a campy mess worth watching with friends.Then Sean talks about the thing he’s actually excited for: Last Podcast on the Left’s Henry Zebrowski is working on an alien comedy called UFO: Unbelievably Friendly Organisms. Details are scarce, but the title alone already has us sold.From there, Gigi brings some sharp horror hot takes, we trade recommendations you’ll want to add to your watchlist immediately, and end up covering everything from comfort horror to movies that make you want to scream into the void.If you’re into horror news, spicy opinions, and finding your next favorite creepy flick, this one’s for you sooo...COME HANG OUT!!!  Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage (all socials)Sean: @hypocrite.ink (IG/TikTok), @hypocriteink (Twitter/X)   Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage (all socials)Sean: @hypocrite.ink (IG/TikTok), @hypocriteink (Twitter/X)Enjoyed this episode? Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform to help us reach more horror fans like you!

Joseph Kahn has directed some of the most iconic music videos of all time...Say My Name by Destiny’s Child, Everybody by the Backstreet Boys, Without Me by Eminem, Bad Blood by Taylor Swift…the list goes on. But he’s also a filmmaker who refuses to play it safe.

They dig into the film’s messy tone, the real life frustrations that inspired it, and what he hopes people take away from it.This one’s funny, sharp, and full of fake blood.

This week, we’re joined once again by internationally touring DJ, producer, streamer and horror head Cray for a wide ranging conversation about one of our favorite unofficial subgenres: Slutty Horror.What started as a joke quickly spiraled into a full blown thesis.

The blood slicked lip gloss and reckless decision making, a cast as hot as the day is long? All of it?We talk icons, archetypes, monster crushes, party playlists, and the undeniable connection between horniness and horror.

Hey Horror Fans!!!In this episode of Mostly Horror, we dive into Sinners, Ryan Coogler’s Southern Gothic vampire film that blends horror, history, and culture in a masterful way. This isn’t just a vampire story, it’s a reminder that art and music are fundamental parts of our human spirit, something many cultures, especially the Black community, have held onto and treasured even in the face of oppression. Especially in the face of oppression.We explore how Sinners reflects this deep connection to creativity as essential to identity and survival, and how it challenges institutions that try to suppress or control that spirit. The film’s rich themes and striking imagery gave us a lot to talk about so if you’re into horror that’s thoughtful and layered, this episode is for you!!!

With Steve out this week, Sean summoned three of our oldest friends. Bruce Christopher (aka Portia Davis), Brandon Coulter (aka Ghus), and Cameron Gawne (resident zookeeper and horror nerd) for a boozy séance and horror hangout.They kick things off with some horror news, covering the upcoming Alien: Earth series, Robert Eggers' now confirmed to take on A Christmas Carol, and A24’s terrifying Backrooms adaptation.Then things get paranormal (and kind of unhinged) as they summon the souls of the dead via a spirit board game (a horror movie themed 20 Questions where each of them channels the ghost of a slain horror movie victim, and the others try to guess who died horribly. Spoiler..they get progressively drunker and worse at it.)So come for the news, stay for the chaos.
