Woo this is so late, huh? Sorry about that, we were experiencing technical difficulties but if you’re reading this, then that’s solved!

Now, on to more important stuff.

It was a big week! Dead Meat went to Vidcon on Friday, some messed up shit happened on Love Island USA last night that I AM still mad about, but most importantly we announced that almost all of the Dead Meat videos will be moving back to the main Dead Meat channel (and off of Dead Meat Presents). That means the Dead Meat Podcast, Horror Awards, Interviews, and more will all be back on the og channel.

What does that leave for Dead Meat Presents? We’re still figuring those exact details out, but currently it’ll be home to Zoran’s weekly game livestreams. You can check out the full details on the move here!

What’s Going On In The World

  1. Blumhouse Buys 'Saw' Franchise Rights, Reuniting With James Wan: The SAW franchise is back in the hands of its creator, James Wan, with 50% of the franchise ownership being sold to Blumhouse, who recently merged with Wan’s Atomic Monster.

  2. Clayface': Tom Rhys Harries Wins Title Role In DC Movie: The Mike Flanagan written Clayface movie has cast the eponomous thespian and potentially confirms this won’t be in the new main DC film universe since Alan Tudyk is already playing the animated Clayface in that universe.

  3. Silent Night, Deadly Night' & 'Silent Hill' Film Get US Release Dates: Two legendary horror franchises have movies coming in the next year, and we finally have release dates for them.
