Clay McLeod Chapman horror genre extremism Wake Up and Open Your Eyes identity misinformation fiction

Author Clay McLeod Chapman has done it all.. short stories, novels, a TON of comics, and screenplays for both indie and big-name films.

In this episode, we talk about his wild and winding journey through the horror genre.. from an early indie short that caught Elijah Wood’s eye, to co-writing Wendell & Wild with Henry Selick and Jordan Peele, and what a chaotic, drawn-out process making a movie can really be… even when you're working with legends.

Then we dive face first into Clay’s newest novel Wake Up and Open Your Eyes, which hit us on a deeply personal level. It’s a searing, surreal exploration of what it feels like to watch loved ones be consumed and "possessed" by extremist ideologies. We talk about the slow erosion of identity, the horror of misinformation, and how fiction can humanize without excusing.

It’s honest, emotional, and one of our favorite conversations yet so...

Chris Landon DROP Internet Backlash Hollywood Queer Horror Arachnophobia remake Scream 7 AirDrop horror stories

Writer and director Chris Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky, We Have a Ghost) joins us to talk about his latest thriller, DROP, a tension-filled ride that turns a simple phone feature into pure terror. We dive into his collaboration with Josh Ruben on Heart Eyes, creating an experience with tension, laughs and a bunch of heart, and the moments that make DROP truly unsettling.

But we also dig into the bigger industry conversations...why he parted ways with the Arachnophobia remake, the internet backlash surrounding Scream 7, and Hollywood’s ongoing fear of queer horror. Chris opens up about writing a major horror IP with a gay lead only for the project to be shut down..and the frustrating reality of studios playing it safe.

Plus, AirDrop horror stories, the therapy hidden in his films, and so much more so...

Borderline twisted love stories fame obsession dangerous attraction psychological thriller Sofia Ray Nicholson directorial debut modern scream queen

Samara Weaving (Ready or Not, Scream VI, The Babysitter) and her husband, writer-director Jimmy Warden (Cocaine Bear, The Babysitter: Killer Queen), sit down with us to talk all things Borderline—a darkly twisted thriller about fame, obsession, and dangerous attraction. Samara stars as Sofia, a former ‘90s pop star trapped in a psychological game with an unhinged fan (Ray Nicholson), and Jimmy pulls back the curtain on making his feature directorial debut alongside his wife.

We dive into the film’s wild creative process, Samara’s electric chemistry with Ray, and what it was like directing a film that blurs the line between love and madness. Plus, they share a hilarious (and slightly eerie) real-life story about being followed home—eerily fitting for Borderline’s themes.

Beyond the film, we talk The Babysitter, Cocaine Bear, and Samara’s rise as a modern scream queen. And yes, we ask about Ready or Not 2—how could we not?
