This week we’re joined by award winning filmmaker Greg Porper, writer, director, and producer of the darkly funny indie feature Don’t Tell Larry, now streaming on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. We talk about the film’s evolution from a scrappy web series into a feature, finding the right tone for a workplace comedy that slowly spirals into something more stressful and unsettling, and how a small lie can snowball into complete chaos.

Greg breaks down the real world inspiration behind Larry...that coworker thats just a bit off and no one wants to deal with and how performances from Kiel Kennedy, Patty Guggenheim, Kenneth Mosley, and Ed Begley Jr. helped shape the film in unexpected ways. We also dig into casting surprises, comedic timing, and the blurry line between comedy and horror where laughter turns nervous; tension builds without release and the movie refuses to let you off the hook. Along the way Greg shares stories from the DIY side of production, lessons learned making an indie film right now and what’s next for him after Don’t Tell Larry.

And as usual before the chat we catch up on some horror news and afterward we wrap things up with our Mostly Horror Recommendations of the Week sooo...

This week on Mostly Horror, we step into the ring with professional wrestler and horror fan Vinny Pacifico. We talk about the overlap between wrestling and horror, from larger than life characters and spectacle to violence, fear, and performance. Vinny also joins us to discuss his work in horror, including Crimzon Harvest and the wrestling infused Mr. Reset and the Society of Turnbuckle & Bone, plus what’s next for him in and out of the ring!

And as always, before the interview we run through the latest horror news, and after the conversation we wrap things up with our Mostly Horror Recommendations of the week.

It’s a fun, wide ranging conversation about performance, pain, and fandom so whether you’re a lifelong wrestling fan, a horror obsessive, or just curious how the two worlds collide, this ones for you sooo...

Filmmaker Christophe Gans (Silent Hill, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Beauty and the Beast) joins Mostly Horror to talk about the power of video games as a storytelling medium, what makes Silent Hill one of the most haunting and enduring horror franchises of all time, and what it was like to return to that world nearly 20 years later with Return to Silent Hill.

We explore why Silent Hill’s brand of psychological, atmospheric horror continues to resonate, how trauma and guilt shape its monsters, what separates Silent Hill from more action forward horror adaptations, and what truly makes a great monster linger in the mind long after the credits roll.

But before venturing into the fog, Sean and Steve break down the latest horror news, and after escaping from Silent Hill, they round things out with their Mostly Horror recommendations of the week.

It's a haunting hangout you're not going to want to miss sooo...
