It’s Dead Meat Horror Awards week! We can’t wait for you all to see the show that everyone has been putting so SO much work into. Last year was an incredible year for the horror genre (feel like we’re saying that every year at this point) so the competition’s tough. Will your favorite take home a Prime Rib? Tune in to find out!

And remember you can watch the premiere live with fans and the Dead Meat team at Dynasty Typewriter. There’ll also be a post-awards postmortem from James, Chelsea, Zoran, and some of our voting panel. Not in LA? You can get a livestream ticket to see the postmortem, have the opportunity to ask question directly to our hosts, and have the chance to win prizes!

What’s Going On In The World

‘Severance’s Britt Lower To Topline Psychological Horror Film ‘Sender’ Produced By Jamie Lee Curtis: Jamie Lee Curtis has started to take on producing work, and one of her first projects will, fittingly, be a horror film centered around a disturbing e-commerce scam.
Toho Confirms GODZILLA MINUS ONE Direct Sequel From Takashi Yamazaki: Fans of Godzilla Minus One rejoice, director Takashi Yamazaki is officially returning to helm a direct sequel to the surprise hit.
Ryan Coogler's Sinners deal is reportedly freaking some studio executives out: This is very Hollywood nitty gritty, but the deal Coogler has reportedly secured for Sinners (which will see ownership revert to him after 25 years) is nearly unprecedented.
