The Strangers Revisited: Mostly Horror Rewind with Writer/Director Bryan Bertino

Spooky season is here and Steve and Sean are kicking it off with a loaded Mostly Horror Rewind. The guys start with some fresh horror news including a new cinematic R L Stine project, a revamp of Young Frankenstein, and Michael Shanks’ bizarrely titled Hotel Hotel Hotel Hotel.Then it is back to one of their all time favorite conversations with writer, director, and producer Bryan Bertino. Bertino gave us The Monster and The Dark and the Wicked, but he is best known for writing and directing The Strangers, a film that remains foundational for Steve and Sean and still towers over the recent reboot trilogy. With The Strangers Chapter 2 now out in the world, it is the perfect time to revisit why the original is a horror masterpiece.To wrap things up, Steve shares his commitment to watch 31 spooky movies in 31 days this October and runs through some of the titles on his list.If you are ready for horror news, deep dives, and a full on spooky season hang then...COME HANG OUT!!!   Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage (all socials)Sean: @hypocrite.ink (IG/TikTok), @hypocriteink (Twitter/X)Enjoyed this episode? Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform to help us reach more horror fans like you!
