This Week in Dead Meat | April 13th

Happy Sunday!

A lot of big projects are winding down over at Dead Meat right now. The Last of Us Kill Count is finally out, the Dead Meat Horror Awards are nearing completion, and James and Chelsea are finishing a big month of travel (travel that does also mean no James’ corner today, sorry).

A little behind the scenes gossip: the Last of Us was the most labor intensive Kill Count we’ve ever made, and trying to balance the team’s time between Last of Us AND the Horror Awards? It’s been a daily puzzle. But we’re really proud of how The Last of Us turned out, and the Dead Meat Horror Awards are looking better and better. We hope you enjoy both these huge projects!

What’s Going On In The World

1. Rejoice, HAPPY DEATH DAY 3 Is Officially Moving Forward: Get ready to reexperience Happy Death Day, as the star and director have confirmed the long talked about third entry is in the works.

2. Mike Flanagan’s Carrie Adaptation Officially Greenlit: Mike Flanagan continues his quest to have no free time with this Amazon TV project. There’s no locked lead yet, but one IS in talks.

3. ‘Still Wakes The Deep’ Takes Home Three BAFTA: Horror games won big at this year’s BAFTAs, with the game beating out last year’s surprise breakout Balatro for Best New IP.

4. ‘M3GAN,’ ‘Annabelle,’ ‘Ma’ Return to Theaters for Blumhouse’s Halfway to Halloween Festival: There’s no better way to watch a movie than the theater, and late April through May, you can see some of Blumhouse’s biggest movies on the big screen again!
