Annie Neugebauer Talks The Extra, The Other, and Horror That Won't Let Go
Épisode 56
mardi 5 mai 2026 • Durée 51:16
Annie Neugebauer is a two-time Bram Stoker Award-nominated horror author, and her work gets under your skin the way only the best psychological horror can. In this interview, we sit down with Annie to talk about The Outsiders Sequence, her series of wilderness horror novellas published through Shortwave Publishing, including her debut novella The Extra and the upcoming follow-up The Other, dropping June 9, 2026.
We get into the big questions: what draws a writer to horror fiction in the first place, and why does the genre still carry a stigma when books like Interview with the Vampire and The Shining have been proving otherwise for decades? Annie talks about the power of mundane horror, how grounding a story in everyday life lets it slip past the reader's defenses, and why short fiction gives horror writers the freedom to take risks that longer formats don't always allow.
We also dig into the concept Annie calls the "force field" in horror storytelling: the mechanism every horror writer needs to keep characters trapped in the story. From Stephen King's The Tommyknockers to Cabin in the Woods, and the very real problem that cell phones created for the genre (R.L. Stine agrees, by the way), this conversation covers the craft of building dread in a modern world that makes isolation harder and harder to pull off.
Annie shares the books that stuck with her the most, from A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay to Broken Harbor by Tana French, and we play a round of horror survival scenarios that tells you everything you need to know about her relationship with the genre. She also teases two major unannounced projects that she describes as "dream come true level."
Whether you read literary horror for the slow-burn dread or just want a good popcorn scare, this one is for you.
Annie Neugebauer: Horror Author and The Outsiders Sequence- Annie Neugebauer is a two-time Bram Stoker Award-nominated short story author, nationally award-winning poet, and horror novelist
- Her debut novella The Extra is the first book in The Outsiders Sequence, published by Shortwave Publishing; her short story collection You Have to Let Them Bleed is from Bad Hand Books
- The Other (Outsiders Sequence #2) drops June 9, 2026; a couple meets their doppelgangers on a hiking trail; The Spare follows in spring 2027
- Annie teases two major unannounced projects described as "dream come true level" — follow her at [LINK: annieneugebauer.com] and @AnnieNeugebauer on Instagram
- Annie makes the case that literary horror and commercial horror both have value; sometimes you need popcorn, sometimes you need to be challenged
- The conversation covers how Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire was proof that horror can do "important things and deep things and powerful things"
- Discussion of Ari Aster films (Midsommar, Hereditary) vs. franchise horror like The Conjuring and what each gives the audience
- Annie's approach to mundane horror: grounding stories in real life to get under the reader's defenses before the horror fully lands
- The horror that stays with you; Annie's "stuck in me" criterion for what separates good horror from unforgettable horror
- Books that achieved this: A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay, Broken Harbor by Tana French, The Shining, Salem's Lot, Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman
- Annie's concept of the "force field" in horror: every story needs a mechanism to trap characters in the situation
- From Stephen King's The Tommyknockers to Cabin in the Woods: literal and metaphorical containment strategies
- R.L. Stine recently called cell phones the worst thing to happen for horror, and Annie agrees; wilderness settings provide a natural force field for modern horror
- Annie writes everything from poems to epic novels, but short fiction lets her take risks with faster reader buy-in
- The practical side: publishers can gamble on an unknown short story author in an anthology more easily than on a 120,000-word debut novel
- How The Outsiders Sequence evolved: each novella can stand alone but connects through a shared world; editor Alan Lastufka accidentally planted the seed for the series
- Annie plays a round of horror survival scenarios: would survive the Overlook Hotel, would lose her psyche at Hill House, would make it decently far in Cabin in the Woods, and accepts her fate in Shirley Jackson's The Lottery
- Childhood horror confessions: Annie was deeply traumatized by both Anaconda and E.T. as a kid (the stuffed animal scene especially)
- Discussion of horror in the school curriculum: Edgar Allan Poe, Shirley Jackson, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from seventh grade through high school

Hokum Review: Damian McCarthy's Best Horror Movie Yet?
Épisode 55
vendredi 1 mai 2026 • Durée 46:53
Hokum review: Damian McCarthy's new horror movie is a near-perfect Irish folk horror film starring Adam Scott. We break down everything.
Hokum just dropped, and we had to talk about it immediately. Damian McCarthy, the director behind Oddity and Caveat, delivered something special here. Adam Scott plays Ohm Bauman, a horror writer who checks into a remote Irish hotel to scatter his parents' ashes and ends up locked in a haunted honeymoon suite with a witch, a missing woman, and a conspiracy that's entirely human.
This is a full spoiler review (with a warning before we get into it). We cover Adam Scott's performance, McCarthy's visual style, the incredible use of lighting and sound design, comparisons to Stephen King's 1408 and The Shining, and why this might be one of the best horror movies of 2026.
DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:
Hokum (2026) — Dir. Damian McCarthy — Neon
Cast: Adam Scott, David Wilmot, Peter Coonan, Florence Ordesh, Michael Patric, Will O'Connell
Also referenced: Oddity, Caveat, Severance, 1408, Secret Window, The Shining, Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Hokum: The Movie and Why It Works
- Damian McCarthy's third feature after Caveat (2020) and Oddity (2024); currently sitting at 90% on Rotten Tomatoes
- Adam Scott stars as Ohm Bauman, a reclusive horror novelist who checks into a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes
- Folk horror meets haunted hotel; supernatural elements wrap a deeply human story about grief, guilt, and who the real villains are
- Distributed by Neon; premiered at SXSW in March 2026; theatrical release May 1, 2026
- Adam Scott as Ohm Bauman; David Wilmot as Jerry (you'll love him); Peter Coonan as Mal
- Florence Ordesh as Fiona the bartender; Michael Patric as Fergal the groundskeeper; Will O'Connell as Alby the bellhop
- Adam Scott watched Oddity, got obsessed, and essentially cast himself by cold-contacting McCarthy directly
- McCarthy was a working electrician in West Cork while making micro-budget shorts on weekends
- After festival rejections, he uploaded "He Dies at the End" to YouTube; it went viral and launched his career
- The character name "Ohm" is a nod to the electrical unit of resistance (and to McCarthy's own resistance to returning to that career)
- McCarthy edited Oddity himself on weekends over eighteen months; had an early draft of Hokum in the drawer the whole time
- Cinematographer Colm Hogan returns from Oddity; heavy use of natural light, oil lanterns, and oppressive shadow
- The lighting doubles as character work: Ohm's darkness is literal and metaphorical from the opening scene
- Comparisons to Amnesia: The Dark Descent for the lantern-only exploration sequences
- Strong parallels to 1408 (grumpy writer, haunted hotel room), Secret Window (writer psychology), and The Shining (isolated hotel)
- McCarthy's recurring device: objects from previous films appear (Caveat's bunny in Oddity; Oddity's bell in Hokum)
- The film's title itself means "nonsense" — reflecting how the characters (and maybe the audience) first treat the witch folklore
- Interview with horror author Annie Nugabauer on her upcoming projects
- Interview with Rye Barrett (Johnny in In a Violent Nature) on the sequel and the Canadian horror scene
- May 2026 horror slate: Obsession, Saccharine, Corporate Retreat, Passenger, Backrooms, Pitfall

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come Review: Bigger, Better & Bloodier
Épisode 47
vendredi 20 mars 2026 • Durée 35:01
Grace is back, her sister's in danger, and the whole world is apparently run by satanic billionaires. Arthur and Meaghan review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come and break down whether this blood-soaked sequel actually earns its place next to the original.
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is directed by Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett) and picks up exactly where the first film left off — Samara Weaving covered in blood, the mansion in ashes, and everything you thought you knew about that first movie suddenly feels like just the opening act. This time, the game is global.

The Man Behind Ice Spiders & a Bram Stoker Nomination | Eric Miller on Horror Writing, Hollywood & Whatever Happened to Uncle Ed?
jeudi 19 mars 2026 • Durée 49:38
In this special midweek bonus, Arthur and Megan sit down with Eric Miller, a horror writer who's navigated pretty much every corner of the genre across multiple decades and formats. He's written and produced screenplays, including the SyFy Channel's cult creature feature Ice Spiders (yes, the one with the ski resort and the giant spiders), along with Night Skies, Swamp Shark, and Mask Maker.
He's an editor whose anthology Hell Comes to Hollywood earned a Bram Stoker Award nomination. And in January 2025, he released his debut novel, Whatever Happened to Uncle Ed?, a darkly funny, action-packed horror story where a former high school basketball star inherits a mansion, a fortune, and a generational curse that comes with shapeshifting demons and underground battle arenas. Kirkus Reviews called it "simultaneously horrifying and hilarious."

Undertone: We're A Horror Podcast. They Made a Movie About One. Let's Talk
Épisode 45
vendredi 13 mars 2026 • Durée 36:58
Arthur and Meaghan review A24's Undertone (2025) — Ian Tuason's directorial debut and one of the most talked-about horror films of early 2026. A paranormal podcast host receives ten mysterious audio recordings at her dying mother's bedside, and what starts as content slowly becomes a waking nightmare.
They break down the film's extraordinary sound design, its slow-burn atmosphere, the meta joy of two horror podcasters reviewing a horror podcast movie, and where it lands on their rating scale (Arthur: 7/10 — Meaghan: 6.5/10). Plus: the Fantasia connection, the A24 deal, and why you really should see this one in Dolby if you can.

THE BRIDE! (2026) REVIEW | Jesse Buckley Is UNREAL, Christian Bale Delivers, But Does The Third Act Kill It?
Épisode 44
vendredi 6 mars 2026 • Durée 35:50
We just saw THE BRIDE! (2026) — Maggie Gyllenhaal's punk feminist reimagining of Bride of Frankenstein — and we have a LOT to say. Jesse Buckley gives one of the best performances of the year, Christian Bale is doing full chameleon mode, and the dance sequence alone is worth the price of admission.
Arthur and Meaghan break down the full film — what works (a lot), what doesn't (that third act), and where this sits in the 2026 monster movie renaissance alongside Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein and Lee Cronin's upcoming The Mummy.

BONUS: The Voice Behind Billy's Inner Demon: Mark Acheson on Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025)
Épisode 43
jeudi 5 mars 2026 • Durée 29:36
In this bonus episode of Grave Tone Podcast, Meaghan and Arthur sit down with prolific character actor Mark Acheson for a wide-ranging conversation about craft, career, and Christmas horror.
Mark is probably best known as the unforgettable Mailroom Guy from Elf (2003), but his career spans four decades, three Emmys (via his role in Fargo), Zack Snyder's Watch, Chronicles of Riddick, Brand New Cherry Flavor, and so much more.
Most recently, he plays Charlie in Mike P. Nelson's Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) — a disembodied inner voice that guides slasher antihero Billy Chapman (Rohan Campbell) on a very specific kind of naughty list. Reviewers have compared the dynamic to Dexter meets Venom, and the performance earned Acheson standout notices from multiple critics.

From Page to Screen: This Is Not a Test — Did the Courtney Summers Adaptation Nail It?
Épisode 42
samedi 28 février 2026 • Durée 44:42
We just got home from the theatre, and we're breaking down This Is Not a Test (2026), the new zombie horror film directed by Adam McDonald and based on the beloved Courtney Summers YA novel. Meaghan read the book (and the bonus sequel novella, Please Remain Calm). Arthur has a giant zombie-kill knife on his nightstand. We are, arguably, the ideal people to review this.
This Is Not a Test just hit theatres, and we are fresh out of our seats. Based on the beloved 2012 YA novel by Canadian author Courtney Summers — rereleased in January 2026 with the sequel novella Please Remain Calm — this new zombie film is directed by Adam McDonald and stars Olivia Holt (Heart Eyes), Froy Gutierrez, Corteon Moore, Carson MacCormac, and Chloe Avakian.

Serial Killer Horror That Played It Way Too Safe: Psycho Killer 2026 Review
Épisode 41
samedi 21 février 2026 • Durée 42:20
Psycho Killer (2026) is the first Disney-distributed film to land 0% on Rotten Tomatoes — and we just saw it opening night. Here's our full spoiler review. Written by Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en, Sleepy Hollow), directed by debut director Gavin Polone, and starring Georgina Campbell as a revenge-driven state trooper hunting a ritualistic serial killer, Psycho Killer had everything going for it. So why does it fall so completely flat?

Sam Raimi's SEND HELP Is His Best Horror Film in 17 Years
Épisode 40
mardi 17 février 2026 • Durée 31:01
Sam Raimi is back in the horror director's chair, and it's glorious. On this bonus episode of Grave Tone Podcast, Meaghan and Arthur break down Send Help (2026), the survival horror thriller starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien as corporate co-workers stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash.
They dive into the film's sharp commentary on nepotism and corporate culture, the incredible on-screen chemistry between the two leads, Danny Elfman's perfectly calibrated score, and the moral gray area at the heart of the story — who is really the villain here?
Plus: real survival tips, a Crisco survival debate, connections to Triangle of Sadness, and their final ratings.
