    Episode 245: 4th Annual Mostly Horror Spook'em Scare'em Awards!

    We’re starting 2026 the Mostly Horror way!! Talking horror with friends and arguing about what scared us the most. For our first episode of the new year, we’re joined once again by Mike Scollins, writer for Late Night with Seth Meyers and a longtime friend of the show. Mike’s been on with us plenty of times before, from general horror hangouts, to breaking down Scream 6, to helping us celebrate past Spook’em Scare’em Awards, and now he’s back to do it again. This isn’t a traditional awards show. There’s no voting, no winners, and no attempt at consensus. It’s just us looking back at the horror movies of 2025 and calling out what really stuck with us. The best deaths, the scariest moments, the most memorable monsters, standout international horror, and more. We don’t always agree, and that’s kind of the point. If you’re catching up on what horror delivered in 2025, or you just want to hear three people who love the genre dig into what worked and what didn’t, then this one’s for you. So HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Make some of your resolutions to tell a friend about the show, watch more horror, and… COME HANG OUT!!!     Follow Us on Social Media: Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpod TikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorror Steve: @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!

    Episode 244: Creepy Christmas Pasta 25

    Pull your chair a little closer and turn the lights down. This week on Mostly Horror, it’s just Sean and Steve, inviting listeners to settle in for a set of holiday stories best heard late at night. After a brief stop in horror news, they share three chilling Holiday tales pulled from dark corners of the internet. A man visiting his mother wakes up to discover something important has vanished. A father tries to capture footage of Santa for his children and ends up watching something he can’t unsee. And two sisters driving through a forest road nearly hit something in the dark that refuses to stop following them. These are quiet, creeping stories meant to linger long after the episode ends, the kind that make every sound in the house feel a little louder. This is your warning and your invitation... Settle in, grab your forks and press play for a Creepy Christmas Pasta episode.  From Mostly Horror, they wish everyone listening a very spooky Christmas. 🎄👻     Follow Us on Social Media: Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpod TikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorror Steve: @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!

    Episode 242: Caroline Thompson on Writing Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Shaping a Generation

    This week on Mostly Horror, we are absolutely honored to be joined by the writer of Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Addams Family, Corpse Bride, Homeward Bound, The Secret Garden, Black Beauty and more... Caroline Thompson. Caroline is one of the quiet architects of our childhoods, a storyteller whose work shaped entire generations without ever being given or demanding the spotlight. In this conversation, she opens up about discovering her voice, meeting Tim Burton, crafting characters inspired by her animals, and the real Hollywood stories behind some of the most iconic films ever made. It’s nostalgic, emotional, funny, and full of the kind of craft and career wisdom that only Caroline can give. If these movies meant anything to you growing up then this episode will feel like coming home... Sooo... COME HANG OUT!!!     Follow Us on Social Media: Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpod TikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorror Steve: @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!

    Episode 241: Matthew Lillard: Cult Classics, Killer Roles, Dungeons, Dragons and the Future of FNAF

    This week on Mostly Horror, we’re joined by the absolute legend: Matthew Lillard. From Scream to Thirteen Ghosts, Scooby-Doo, and now the ever-expanding Five Nights at Freddy’s universe, Lillard has carved out one of the most beloved and eclectic careers in genre cinema. We talk about his long-standing place in horror, the massive energy he brings to conventions, and why fans still rally around characters like Stu Macher after nearly 30 years. With FNAF 2 on the way, we dive into his role as William Afton, the fandom that made the franchise a phenomenon, and how it feels to step deeper into a character who’s become the Voldemort of video game horror. We also get into his lifelong love of Dungeons & Dragons, his work with Beadle & Grimm’s and Quest’s End whiskey, and why tabletop storytelling continues to shape the way he approaches his craft and his life. As always, beforehand we kick things off with the latest horror news then we wrap everything up with our Mostly Horror Recommendations of the Week!  A huge guest. A packed episode. And one of our most fun conversations to date that you don't want to miss sooo... COME HANG OUT!!!     Follow Us on Social Media: Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpod TikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorror Steve: @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!
