Bloody Good Horror

Nearly 45 years after its release, Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead remains one of horror's most influential films. We revisit the original with fresh eyes, exploring why it still feels punk and transgressive, why it remains one of the greatest examples of low-budget horror filmmaking ever put on screen, and why it's unexpectedly relevant during a summer where filmmakers like Kane Parsons and Curry Barke...

Most filmmakers spend years trying to land their first feature. Anthony Frith did it with a single email. In this conversation, he shares how one cold email led to directing The Land That Time Forgot for The Asylum, what he learned making his first feature, and why he documented the entire experience in his new film, "Mockbuster". 🎙️ Available wherever you listen to podcasts.

John Harrison has worn many hats throughout his career—director, composer, writer, and one of George A. Romero's closest creative collaborators during one of the most influential periods in horror history. In this conversation, we look back on Harrison's years working alongside Romero, the making "Creepshow", the evolution of independent horror filmmaking, composing for the genre, and the creative...

The Bloody Good Horror crew reviews “Leviticus”, one of the year's most talked-about indie horror films—sparking one of our deepest (and most divided) discussions in recent memory. While the panel agrees that “Leviticus” has powerful things to say about identity, faith, and the queer experience, opinions split on a key question: "Does the horror itself work as well as the metaphor?" We also discus...

This week the BGH crew emerges from the theater to review Steven Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day”,  and along the way asks the question; What happens when an 80 year old tries to say something profound and completely misses the mark? We also talk about tall greys, our own feelings on aliens and whether or not the world would even blink twice if someone actually attempted full disclosure.   Disclosure...

This week we’re reviewing the return of the Scary Movie franchise. We discuss the endless list of dated references, significant time spent on non-horror movies, the Wayans penchant for punching down, and whether or not Gen X are the new Boomers. Plus, what makes a truly great horror parody, and what films SHOULD you check out? Racheld drops some truly mind blowing trivia about the original scary m...

BGH enters the liminal this week as we review 20-year-old Kane Parson’s “Backrooms”, the film that’s been slaughtering the competition at the box office this summer. We discuss the liminal horror movement and its ties to Gen Z anxieties, the movie versus the web series, found footage, cameos, trivia and more.   Plus, Eli Roth (and Jon’s) project Ice Cream Man has a disgusting red band trailer full...

This week the BGH crew hits the open road with the aggressively mediocre horror film “Passenger”. We discuss the hobo code, jump scares, the logic leaps, the "van life" cliches, and the very Buhguul-like demon. Plus, Obsession has a record breaking week two at the box office, and we dip our toes into the online mythos behind “Backrooms”, ahead of next week’s release.  A few weeks into their van li...

Is Obsession the scariest horror film of the year? We dive into the new release from Youtuber turned horror dynamo Curry Barker, including his exploration of Gen Z social and dating struggles, the film’s ties to “Incel Horror”, and why Obsession’s original ending was MUCH darker.    One programming note, we are trying to keep the initial “round table” section spoiler free for those who want a quic...

It's time for BGH to enter the ring with "Mortal Kombat II", and it goes exactly how you would expect. Eric is geeking out, Jon is exasperated, and the crew tries their best to make sense of this loud, campy, fever dream of a sequel.

Anthony Cousins won over found footage horror fans big time in 2023 with his ode to Ohio's famous cryptid, the aptly titled "Frogman". Since then, Anthony and his indie film have amassed a cult following, that has even lead to the establishment of a Frogman convention in Loveland Ohio, the real life home of the mysterious creature. As momentum builds around Frogman, Anthony and crew are currently...

This week the original BGH witch returns, when our very own CC joins the cast to discuss “Hokum”, starring Adam Scott.  Along the way we discuss the film’s butt puckering jump scares,  spooky symbols, and ties to a larger universe of the director’s work.  Plus, find out what CC’s been up to for the past 5 years, and Eric gives Jon a crash course in Mortal Kombat II lore ahead of next week’s episod...

Rachel sits down with Canadian Director Simon Glassman to discuss his surrealistic, cosmic horror comedy Buffet Infinity.

The film hits streaming May 8th, 2026 after a small theatrical run. Topics covered include the cosmic hor...

This week, the BGH gang dives into the meta slasher “Faces of Death” (2026)—a surprisingly entertaining meditation on online violence and its consumption.

This week Jason from Dads from the Crypt joins us to discuss the latest theatrical horror film, “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy”.
