Mostly Horror

We had the pleasure of chatting with Rob Savage, the director behind Host (2020) and The Boogeyman (2023), whose latest horror film, Other Mommy, is releasing in theaters this week. Starring Jessica Chastain, the film is based on the novel Incidents Around the House.
Rob shared stories of being terrified of horror movies growing up, not from watching them, but from his parents’ vivid descriptions of them. He also told us about making Host during the pandemic and creating the horrifying visual of the Boogeyman in its titular film.
With his latest movie, Rob spoke about his experience directing someone as talented as Jessica Chastain and the concept of turning a bright, seemingly child-friendly space into a setting for absolute horror.
We loved getting to talk to the director behind these creative and terrifying films, so...
COME HANG OUT!!!

Today, we dive into the recently released Resident Evil movie, which has stirred up mixed reviews. Some are calling it a great (and often hilarious) horror watch, while others feel it misses the mark by straying from the original video game lore. We break down what we loved, what could have made it stronger, and our thoughts on the ways directors and writers can approach adapting gaming worlds for the screen.
Plus, we cover some of the latest news in the horror world: Obsession making its way into Fortnite, Don't Breathe 3 in the works, and more! There's plenty to unpack in this episode, so ...
COME HANG OUT!!!

This week, we got to bring back #1 New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Tony DiTerlizzi, best known for co-creating the children’s book series The Spiderwick Chronicles with Holly Black. The series has sold over 20 million copies and has been adapted into a feature film and video game.
His newest book, The Wump, is a dark supernatural middle-grade coming-of-age story coming out on September 29th. We spoke with Tony all about the inspiration behind the book and its exploration of anger, fear, and anxiety at a young age, especially when dealing with bullies and unreliable adult figures.
We also got to hear about his process as both an author and illustrator, the thought behind the book’s color choices, and the conversations he had with a child psychologist friend while shaping the story. It’s a wonderful book that both kids and adults can take something away from, and we’re sure you’ll love this conversation with our incredibly creative and multi-talented guest. So…

Today, we’re joined by Melbourne-based tattoo artist Josh Todaro, who’s amassed a huge online following for his movie and horror-inspired tattoo style. But he’s not just killing it in the tattoo game. Josh is also a film writer and director, and the creator of the horror short film Button Man. This year, he even had the opportunity to work as a tattoo consultant on Insidious Chapter 6: Out of the Further, with his hands actually featured in the film!
We chatted all about his experience growing up in a spooky house surrounded by his mother’s massive (and very creepy) doll collection, what first got him into art and tattooing, and how he developed his unique style. He also shared all about his experience working on the latest installment of the Insidious franchise, gave us his thoughts on whether aliens are real, and shared some exciting things he’s cooking up in the movie world.
If you love tattoos AND horror movies ...
