Bloody Good Horror

David Cronenberg's The Fly turns 40 this August, and we're revisiting one of the greatest, and most disturbing, body horror films ever made.

This week, the Bloody Good Horror crew discusses Jeff Goldblum's unforgettable performance, the film's practical effects, its themes of aging and mortality, and why The Fly continues to influence horror nearly four decades after its release.

One of horror's most influential filmmakers joins Bloody Good Horror.

Eli Roth sits down with us to discuss his upcoming film, Ice Cream Man, while looking back on the era that transformed modern horror. From Cabin Fever and Hostel to the rise of the Splat Pack, Eli reflects on how horror broke into the mainstream and what it was like to be at the center of it all.

We also talk about his return to independent filmmaking, building his new venture, The Horror Section, supporting the next generation of horror creators, and how our very own co-host, Jon Schnaars, somehow ended up becoming the CEO of Eli's company.

Ice Cream Man releases August 7th. Buy tickets now at:

This week, Bloody Good Horror celebrates the 50th anniversary of The Omen.

Rather than simply revisiting a horror classic, we explore the cultural moment that gave birth to one of the most influential supernatural films ever made. We discuss Richard Donner's classic Hollywood direction, Jerry Goldsmith's iconic score, Damian's chilling and enduring legacy, and why the fears driving The Omen in 1976 feel surprisingly relevant today.

Plus, we revisit what still works, what hasn't aged as well, and whether The Omen deserves its place among horror's all-time greats.

The Evil Dead franchise returns with Evil Dead Burn, and we have plenty to say.

We review the newest chapter in the series, compare it to Evil Dead (2013) and Evil Dead Rise, debate whether the franchise has lost some of the personality that made the originals so memorable, the film's intense bleakness, and discuss where we'd like to see the series go next.

Plus, behind the scenes on some of the film's boldest choices, and the crew pays tribute to horror legend Sam Neill.

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 Barker are once again redefining independent horror.
