Mostly Horror

This week Eric LaRocca is back on Mostly Horror for round three and we’re diving into his newest book Wretch: The Unbecoming of Porcelain Khaw.

This conversation goes to some interesting places. We get into grief, belief, and the ways people cope with loss, especially when that coping starts to drift into something a little more complicated. We talk about seeing meaning where there might not be any, the pull of certain ideas even when you know better, and how easy it is to blur that line.

We don’t really hold back on how we feel about any of it.

We also talk chatrooms, digital spaces, and what it means to shift into something more internal and psychological. Plus a bit on what’s coming next sooo...

COME HANG OUT!!!

This week we’re joined by Alec Duckart, the musician behind Searows, to talk about his new album Death in the Business of Whaling and all the stuff that feeds into his work.

We get into horror movies, growing up on things like The X-Files, and the films that have stuck with him over time, along with how that kind of atmosphere and storytelling shows up in his music. It’s a loose, honest conversation about influence, emotion, and making art that feels authentic and lived in sooo…

Come Hang Out!!!

This week we’re joined by writer/director Ian Tuason, whose new A24 horror film Undertone is creeping into theaters March 13. The film plays with a deceptively simple question: what if the scariest thing in a movie isn’t what you see… but what you hear later?

We talk with Ian about building tension through sound, the eerie psychology of playback and EVP recordings, and why something as innocent as a children’s song can suddenly feel sinister when it’s heard through fresh ears. He also tells us about filming the movie in his own childhood home, the challenge of creating tension with minimal visuals, and the trust it takes to let actors experiment when they’re carrying so much of the film.

Plus, we get into what excites him about stepping into the world of Paranormal Activity next.

And of course, Ian builds his Spook’em Scare’em Starter Kit.

Headphones recommended...

Writer and director Matthew McManus hangs out with us this week to talk about making movies with family, jumping from comedy into genre, and taking on the multiverse.

From American Vandal to indie sci-fi with his brother Kevin, Matthew’s always had a sharp sense of tone. With Redux Redux, starring his sister Michaela, the McManus siblings build a time bending revenge story that feels intimate, intense, familiar and like something we haven’t seen before. 

We get into collaborating with your siblings, shifting into darker spaces, handling big sci-fi ideas without losing the feeling, and why revenge stories are so hard to look away from.

It’s a really fun one. Some laughs, some process, some genuine movie love sooo…

Come hang out!!!

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…
