Bloody Good Horror

BGH turns 19-YEARS-OLD this week, and to celebrate we're reviewing the latest from DC Studios, "Clayface". We dig into this body horror tinged take on a villain origin story and ask the question, is it actually a horror film? We also discuss the melty, gooey special effects, Mike Flanagan's influence on the story, the chemistry (or lack thereof) between the two leads, and where a character like this could fit into James Gunn's remodeled DCU. Plus, John Carpenter's Body Bags is trending, new interviews from the cast and crew of both The Cycle and Breeder, Hell House, LLC turns 10, The Birds return, Crystal Lake hot takes, haunted houses and hayride stories, and the BGH crew talks about our Halloween plans. **NOTE** The full video version of our show is now exclusively available for our Patrons. 👻Support Bloody Good Horror, gain live stream access, join our Slack and get the entire back catalog by visiting us at: https://www.patreon.com/bloodygoodhorror BGH on social media (Now on Substack!) 🩸https://x.com/bghorror 🩸https://www.instagram.com/bloodygoodhorror/ 🩸https://substack.com/@bloodygoodhorror 🩸https://www.facebook.com/bloodygoodhorror 🩸https://www.tiktok.com/@bgoodhorror 🩸https://www.threads.com/@bloodygoodhorror Learn more about your ad choices.

Breeder is the new psychological horror film from director Alex Goyette, in theaters now. In this exclusive interview, he discusses the crazy real world origin of the idea for this movie, how he approached the balance between scares and humor, and why he knew from the start who should play the psycho breeder, Patti. #Breeder #Breeder2026 #HorrorMovies #IndieHorror #NewHorrorMovie 👻Support Bloody Good Horror, gain live stream access, join our Slack and get the entire back catalog by visiting us at: https://www.patreon.com/bloodygoodhorror BGH on social media (Now on Substack!) 🩸https://x.com/bghorror 🩸https://www.instagram.com/bloodygoodhorror/ 🩸https://substack.com/@bloodygoodhorror 🩸https://www.facebook.com/bloodygoodhorror 🩸https://www.tiktok.com/@bgoodhorror 🩸https://www.threads.com/@bloodygoodhorror Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we venture into Insidious: Out of the Further, and beg the question, how has a series built on the fear of the unknown become so hellbent on explaining everything that happens in such excruciating detail? Plus, the cringiest character of the year, Lin Shaye takes her place as the Dr. Loomis of modern times, and a dentist scene so disgusting it made all of us retch just talking about it. After the break we're digging into the landmark re-release of Ken Russel's The Devils, preview Shudder's latest, The Cycle, talk about our 19th anniversary happening this month and look ahead at our 20th year. 🎙️Full audio episode also available wherever you listen to podcasts. 👻Support Bloody Good Horror, gain live stream access, join our Slack and get the entire back catalog by visiting us at: https://www.patreon.com/bloodygoodhorror BGH on social media (Now on Substack!) 🩸https://x.com/bghorror 🩸https://www.instagram.com/bloodygoodhorror/ 🩸https://substack.com/@bloodygoodhorror 🩸https://www.facebook.com/bloodygoodhorror 🩸https://www.tiktok.com/@bgoodhorror 🩸https://www.threads.com/@bloodygoodhorror Learn more about your ad choices.

What makes a horror movie a Halloween classic? Director Ben Sottak and Hereditary star Milly Shapiro join Bloody Good Horror to discuss Hallowarrior, Shudder's new post-apocalyptic horror film that combines gruesome violence, Halloween nostalgia, and an unexpectedly hopeful coming-of-age story. Milly discusses playing Pumpkin, taking on a physically demanding role, and finding the balance between the character's haunted exterior and infectious optimism. Plus, we talk horror influences, found family, and what it means to be in one of the best horror films of all time. 👻Support Bloody Good Horror, gain live stream access, join our Slack and get the entire back catalog by visiting us at: https://www.patreon.com/bloodygoodhorror BGH on social media (Now on Substack!) 🩸https://x.com/bghorror 🩸https://www.instagram.com/bloodygoodhorror/ 🩸https://substack.com/@bloodygoodhorror 🩸https://www.facebook.com/bloodygoodhorror 🩸https://www.tiktok.com/@bgoodhorror 🩸https://www.threads.com/@bloodygoodhorror Learn more about your ad choices.
