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!!!

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. His newest film, ICK, is a wild, splattery horror comedy that somehow feels both unhinged and deeply personal. This week we sit down with Joseph to talk about his journey from shaping pop culture to using monsters as metaphors for modern apathy. 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. Just how we like it sooo...

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. Together, we try to define the undefinable. What makes a horror movie slutty? Is it the aesthetic? The attitude? 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. It’s weird, it’s fun, and its SOOO slutty. You're gonna love it sooo...

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!!! Sooooooo... COME HANG OUT!!!
