Project Wolf Hunting

Project Wolf Hunting is a hyper-violent South Korean genre bender that packs action, sci-fi, horror, and thriller aspects into a gory mashup of Con Air, The Raid, and Resident Evil. According to writer-director Kim Hong-Sun, the production went through 2.5 tons of blood — enough to make Art the Clown blush.

The high-octane gorefest is set aboard a cargo ship transporting dangerous convicts who orchestrate an escape attempt against the heavily armed guards. But the fugitives aren’t the most dangerous thing aboard the ship, as below deck there lurks a superhuman killing machine dubbed Alpha.

Ahh, Thanksgiving; the time for loved ones to get together with food, cozy sweaters, and killer turkeys... maybe strike that last one for the non-weirdos. There have been a handful of Thanksgiving horror movies over the years, from the cheesy slasher Blood Rage to Eli Roth’s recent slasher whodunit Thanksgiving. Still, Christmas and Halloween have remained the popular holidays for horror flicks. One has remained the choice entrée for horror hounds, though, in terms of turkey-day terror. This, of course, would be the infamous flick from 2008, ThanksKilling.

Thanksgiving—a time for gratitude, cherished family gatherings, football, and praying five pounds of over-indulgence miraculously provides nourishment for our bodies. But beneath the surface of this warm and festive holiday lies a darker, more sinister side. Today, we delve into the macabre as we carve into some of the best the holiday has to offer. Whether you crave campy thrills, gory chills, or dark humor, this list offers a feast of frights to satisfy every horror fan. Let’s dig in.

10. Home Sweet Home (1981)

We start our countdown with Home Sweet Home, a low-budget slasher from the early ‘80s that exemplifies the chaotic energy of the genre’s heyday. The film revolves around an escaped mental patient named Jay Jones, a hulking psychopath who injects himself with Pcp and goes on a killing spree. His path of destruction leads him to the Bradley family’s secluded home, where they...

While there are plenty of Christmas films made for theaters and TV, when it comes to Thanksgiving, the pool is much smaller. That's even more the case for horror films, with the most prominent one up until 2023 being the Troma movie Thankskilling. However, Hostel and Borderlands director Eli Roth decided to fill that void in 2023 by turning his spoof trailer from Grindhouse into an actualized feature film, Thanksgiving.

After a Black Friday sale leads to several civilians being injured and killed, a mysterious slasher in a pilgrim mask targets those involved in the tragedy one year later on Thanksgiving. Roth's acclaimed $46.5 million horror movie was a surprise success and now stands to be a Thanksgiving classic for horror fans. In addition to this, Thanksgiving is also a better representation of Roth's talents as a director than his next film, Borderlands, would be.

Why Eli Roth's Thanksgiving Is One of...

The (almost) annual tradition of watching a new V/H/S movie will continue this October with the newly announced seventh film in the franchise V/H/S/Beyond, being released on October 4 on Shudder and AMC+.

Variety exclusively reports that the seventh installment will feature some really exciting collaborations, like the directorial debut of Kate Siegel, best known for starring in projects such as The Fall of the House of Usher, Hush, and The Haunting of Hill House, all of which were created by her husband and frequent collaborator Mike Flanagan.

Siegel's segment in V/H/S/Beyond is titled "Stowaway" and comes from a script she wrote with Flanagan. Barbarian star Justin Long also has a segment in the new film, one he wrote and directed with his brother Christian Long.

The Bloody Disgusting-powered Screambox is home to a variety of unique horror content, from originals and exclusives to cult classics and documentaries. With such a rapidly-growing library, there are many hidden gems waiting to be discovered.

Here are five recommendations you can stream on Screambox right now.

King of the Ants

While Stuart Gordon cemented himself as a master of horror with early works like Re-Animator and From Beyond, his later output is also worthy of exploration. 2003’s King of the Ants kicked off a trio of intense thrillers (alongside Edmond and Stuck) that would end up being Gordon’s final features. It was also one of the first productions from The Asylum, who would go on to create Sharknado, Z Nation, and Black Summer.

Based on the 1992 novel by Charlie Higson, who also wrote the screenplay, the film’s unusual structure makes it unpredictable. Struggling to make ends meet,...

Found in your local “Shower After Watching” section of the suspicious flea market around the corner is 1993’s Skinner. And it’s probably the only movie in that bin to feature an acting performance from daytime talk show host Ricki Lake. Seriously.

This little piece of rarely spoken about horror history is one part Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer and one-part uncategorizable madness that I’m semi-shocked is still available to watch at all, much less to be reached in an instant on Tubi.

In the film, directed by feature director turned porn director Ivan Nagy, Dennis Skinner (the great Ted Raimi) is an active serial killer who murders mostly prostitutes and then skins them, stitches them back together and wears them while talking about his childhood and saying things like “This really is the clothing…..for a divine soul.”

Skinner darkens the doorway of Kerry Tate (Ricki Lake...

While Thanksgiving is not traditionally associated with horror, there are several Thanksgiving-themed horror movies that range from comedic to intense and gruesome. Some notable Thanksgiving horror movies include Thankskilling, a horror comedy featuring a killer talking turkey, The Oath, a dark political satire about a family gathering turned violent, and Black Friday, a gory horror comedy starring Bruce Campbell. Other Thanksgiving horror movies include The Boneyard, a horror comedy that starts out serious and becomes more ludicrous, Blood Rage, an infamously gruesome Thanksgiving slasher, and Kristy, a terrifying dorm invasion horror movie.

While Eli Roth’s new horror film, Thanksgiving, is a huge success, it's far from the first scary movie centered on the titular holiday. It's true that Thanksgiving is not typically associated with fear or fright. Halloween is an entire holiday devoted to all things spooky and dark. On the other end of the spectrum, Christmas is so...

Eli Roth is home for the holidays with enough fiendish fun and ripped flesh to send horror fans to theaters multiple times between now and Thanksgiving.

The “Hostel” director hasn’t touched his signature genre in almost a decade, but he’s been cooking up his latest film with writer Jeff Rendell since they were teenagers — and it’s more than worth the wait. The duo first realized their childhood concept of an eponymous “Thanksgiving” slasher as a fake trailer appearing in Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s “Grindhouse” in 2007. That cinematic morsel immediately stirred up cries for a full-blown adaptation, and for its annual re-watchers, the feature-length “Thanksgiving” is exactly what you’d expect.

Part “Thankskilling,” part “Scream,” this modern horror-comedy is a brilliant retrofitting of the moments you already know and love from the “Grindhouse” version (cheerleader trampoline stab!), serving up the original idea cranked to high heat...

Our collective hunger for fresh Thanksgiving Horror will hopefully be satisfied this week with the release of Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving in theaters, but what other holiday-themed horror movies can you watch to get into the spirit of Thanksgiving in the coming days?

There aren’t all that many to choose from – don’t forget the 1987 cult classic Blood Rage! – but a select few can currently be streamed on the Bloody Disgusting-powered Screambox.

Here’s all the Thanksgiving Horror now streaming on Screambox…

First up, cannibalistic pilgrims dish out gory carnage in director Erick Lorinc’s low-budget indie The Last Thanksgiving, which premiered at Salem Horror Fest back in 2020.

In the retro-style slasher, which is home to a handful of particularly nasty kills, “A family of cannibalistic pilgrims attacks a restaurant that stays open for Thanksgiving.”

Meagan wrote in her review for Bd, “The Last Thanksgiving is a trashy, blood-soaked ode to ‘80s slashers,...

The 2007 film Grindhouse is a bit of an anomaly in the filmography of both Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. A vicious double-feature made as an homage to the era of exploitative filmmaking that rose to prominence in the '70s, Grindhouse was the original vessel for the films Planet Terror and Death Proof to be viewed. Between the two, a handful of trailers for fictional films would play out, each one being so over-the-top they'd probably never see the light of day as an actual movie — minus the ones that did.

Hobo With a Shotgun and Machete were turned into fully-fledged movies, with the latter of which spawning a sequel, Machete Kills. While Rob Zombie and Edgar Wright's shorts, Werewolf Women of the SS and Don't, respectively, haven't yet been expanded, the same cannot be said for Eli Roth's cult hit, Thanksgiving. Sixteen years after the fake trailer hit,...

Screambox has revealed the new films that are joining the horror streaming service in April, including the 1982 classic Creepshow, Child’s Play doc Living with Chucky, the brand new Japanese remake of Cube, Stephen King masterpiece Needful Things, Aussie-set wild boar horror Razorback, found footage favorite Hell House LLC, and Night of the Living Dead-inspired Screambox Original Shifted.

From the masters of the macabre, George A. Romero and Stephen King’s preeminent horror anthology Creepshow is now streaming on Screambox! After enjoying five jolting tales of terror, viewers can go behind the scenes with the Screambox Exclusive documentary Just Desserts: The Making of Creepshow.

Also joining Screambox today are Needful Things, the 1991 Stephen King adaptation starring Ed Harris (The Abyss) and Max von Sydow (The Exorcist); The Borrower, a sci-fi horror hybrid from Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer director John McNaughton; and Razorback, an ’80s killer boar movie directed by Russell Mulcahy.

It’s Thanksgiving week, and while celebrations might look a bit different this year, theming our viewing habits around holidays remains a constant. Except, the pool of Thanksgiving-themed horror is relatively shallow. While Blood Rage and ThanksKilling (both on Prime Video and Tubi) offer perennial schlock faves, and films like You’re Next (Peacock TV) capture the chaos and dysfunction of family […]...

Horror movies built around holidays are a time-honored tradition, from Black Christmas to Halloween to My Bloody Valentine, and beyond. But one holiday that is often overlooked in the genre is Thanksgiving, which can lay claim to terrible trash like Thankskilling and not much else.

The Head Hunter aka The Head is a medieval feature from Portugal. Part fantasy and part horror, The Head Hunter had its World Premiere at the Sitges Film Festival, in Spain. Since then, Vertical Entertainment has picked up the film for distribution in the United States. In the film, a medieval warrior protects his home and country from strange monsters and the occult. In search of revenge, this warrior hopes to slay the creature that killed his daughter. This title was directed by Jordan Downey (ThanksKilling), from a script by Kevin Stewart ("Unfriended: Dark Web"). This title is slated for an early April release, with more details below. The trailer shows some of the Head Hunter's (Christopher Rygh) anger. He has his gruesome trophy collection in his home. In search of the creature, he roams the countryside and finds what he is looking for inside a small cave, leading to a final confrontation.

Michael Myers had his time to shine this past October. Now it's time for him to move over and let some of the other holiday horror icons have their fun. First up it's Turkie, from the immortal Thanksgiving cult classic Thankskilling which made its audacious debut back in 2008. In celebration of his tenth anniversary, Turkie is getting his very own blood-splattered horror T-shirt.

This must-own Thankskilling T-shirt is arriving just in time for the holidays, and is available for pre-order now from Pizza Party Printing. It shows Turkie in all his glory, wielding his chainsaw in a wave of blood, the ancient Totem warning of the curse that will bring back this angry turkey for revenge. Pizza Party Printing have this to say about this masterpiece of a shirt.

In today’s film news roundup, medieval horror movie “The Head” gets distribution, Matt Leonetti becomes head of physical production for Lionsgate and the Art Directors Guild honors three longtime members.

Acquisition

Vertical Entertainment has acquired worldwide distribution rights to medieval horror movie “The Head” and will launch international sales at the American Film Market, which opens Oct. 31 in Santa Monica, Calif.

The independent feature, which premiered at the Sitges Film Festival in Spain, is produced, directed and written by Jordan Downey (“ThanksKilling”). Kevin Stewart (“Unfriended: Dark Web”) co-wrote and produced along with Ricky Fosheim (“Uneasy Lies the Mind”).

“The Head” follows a bounty hunter who seeks vengeance on the monster that slayed his only daughter. It was shoot almost entirely in Portugal and is the film debut of Christopher Rygh. The deal was negotiated by Josh Spector on behalf of Vertical Entertainment and Ricky Fosheim of Detention Films on behalf of the filmmakers.

A new trailer for House Shark, an upcoming low-budget, independent movie that serves as an homage of sorts to Steven Spielberg's Jaws, has arrived online. Most of the time, making any comparison to Jaws is a good thing. In this case, that all depends on your level of appreciation for ultra-low-budget, schlock. House Shark is billed as, "Jaws in a house" and this trailer promises exactly that. Sort of. Just without all of the great effects and expertly crafted tension. That's been replaced with cheap blood, really bad acting and what looks to be a paper mache shark.

The House Shark trailer delivers on the promise of the movie's name, in that, via completely unexplained and mysterious reasoning, this movie centers on a few men who have to deal with a murderous shark that attacks in a house as opposed to the ocean. It also certainly is mirroring Jaws in many ways.

He's induced laughter and chills in previous projects like ThanksKilling, Critters: Bounty Hunter, and Red Weather, but in his latest short film, director Jordan Downey channels the nostalgia of Stranger Things and combines it with the coming-of-age poignancy of early Stephen King stories in Techno Western, which you can watch right now on Daily Dead.

In addition to Techno Western, which you can watch below, we also have a Q&A with Downey that offers more insights into the making of the short film.

"What was the genesis and inspiration for this project?

Jordan Downey: The idea, really, is drawn from my childhood. When I was a kid I would always take my squirt guns and spray paint them to look like some cannon or prop from Star Wars. I’d duct tape flashlights and pocket knives to the barrel and pretend to go “hunting” in the woods for bad guys.

Emerging from a blood-red storm to float over a lush green hillside, the new pilot from director Jordan Downey (creator of the excellent fan film Critters: Bounty Hunter) starts on a deceptively serene note before taking a creepy turn. "Fear is the forecast" for Daily Dead readers, as we have the short pilot episode of Red Weather available to watch now.

Press Release: Fear Is The Forecast in this pilot episode of Red Weather, a horror web series pitch from creator Jordan Downey (Critters: Bounty Hunter, ThanksKilling). Simply put, it’s The Twilight Zone or Tales From the Crypt in under 5 minutes.

Red Weather aims bring a fun, whimsical nature to anthology horror. With a catchy theme song and memorable title sequence, episodes begin in the “bleeding storm” which departs to reveal the setting of each episode. New characters are introduced, often times unknowingly facing an ironic demise.

Nothing is off limits — monsters,...

Any fan of the classic 1980s sci-fi horror film Critters is going to love this fan-made short film created by Jordan Downey. The short is called "Critters: Bounty Hunter," and I think you’ll all be pleasantly surprised by its awesomeness. It’s definitely one of the better fan films in general that I’ve seen. You can tell Downey is a huge fan as it has the same vibe and spirit of the original movies. Here’s a note from the director:

“Call the Bounty Hunters, the Critters are back! Critters: Bounty Hunter marks the return of the carnivorous space creatures made popular by the 1986 classic. The short fan film from director Jordan Downey (ThanksKilling) serves as his pitch for the directing gig on an upcoming web-series from Warner Bros. The studio recently announced plans to revive the cult series under their digital unit, Blue Ribbon Content. Downey has...

The Krites first came to the big screen two years after Gremlins, but they didn’t need to be fed after midnight to become evil—they were malevolent little monsters from the get-go in 1986’s Critters and its three sequels. The ferocious furballs are set to make a comeback in an upcoming digital series from Warner Bros., but you can see the return of the Krites right now in a new short fan film, Critters: Bounty Hunter.

Created with a six-person crew and helmed by Jordan Downey, the director of ThanksKilling and ThanksKilling 3, Critters: Bounty Hunter is Downey’s bid for the director’s chair on the digital series, while also serving as an early holiday gift for Critters fans.

The "Raunchiest Puppet Movie Ever Made*", ThanksKilling 3, debuts for the first time on DVD this October just in time for the holidays. The comedy/ horror spoof sees the return of original creators Jordan Downey and Kevin Stewart to the cult slasher series that follows Turkie, the fowl-mouthed Thanksgiving villain.

The original ThanksKilling was made for the minuscule budget of $3,500 while Downey and Stewart were still in college. After years of marketing it themselves, and with the help of distributor Gravitas Ventures, the film went on to gain a massive cult following for its purposeful "so bad it's good" vibe. It quickly rose...

Creating a memorable, frightening horror-comedy that at the same time satirizes the amusing humor that famously characterize low-budget, vulgar films can be a difficult task for relatively new filmmakers. But director Jordan Downey and his writing and producing partner Kevin Stewart did just that with their new movie ‘ThanksKilling 3,’ the follow-up to their 2009 feature film debut, ‘ThanksKilling.’ The two worked closely together to continue the story of their infamous villain puppet character from their first film, Turkie, to not only please fans wondering what happened to the trouble-making villain, but to also continue targeting a holiday not previously ruined by horror with cheesy one-liners and jokes. ‘ThanksKilling 3′ [ Read More ]

I’ve seen a lot of goofy and absurd indie horror-comedies in my lifetime but a horror-comedy about a homicidal, foul-mouthed turkey on a killing spree as in ThanksKilling 3 takes the cake without question.

This turkey isn’t just preying on a bunch of kids on thanksgiving though – there’s an offbeat, pretty creative plot at work that sees the titular turkey going into a killing spree after learning that copies worldwide of ThanksKilling 2 were obliterated because it was the worst movie ever – a winking nod for the events to follow, I’d wager.

Meanwhile, there’s also an intriguing plot following a cute puppet named Yomi as she enlists the help of humans and puppets alike to help her search for the missing piece of her mind – yeah, it’s odd but It is actually oddly charming I found.

Don't let the "brown band" tag fool you, this is really an age-restricted red band trailer, full of naughty language and violent turkey (puppet) deaths. In other words, don't put this on display for your sweet old grandmother or that impressionable young relative.

Back in 2009, an extremely independent Thanksgiving themed horror film was created called ThanksKilling, introducing the world to a foul-mouthed and murderous one-liner serving fowl named Turkie. I caught Jordan Downey’s film streaming on Netflix late one night with an equally open-minded horror fan, and we were completely taken aback by the amature-ish nature of the film. It was like a film school project gone wrong, attempting to make the most crude jokes and terrible dialogue while playing around with a turkey puppet, hoping to achieve “so bad it’s good” fame. I mean sure, Ok, a horror film centered around a demonic turkey with a knack for terrible puns sounded like an entertaining watch at least, as long as you’re a die-hard B-Movie fan, but the intelligence level of ThanksKilling was comparable to an unborn fetus. A downright painful experience for anyone expecting a fun, low-budget horror romp with some demented holiday action.

Yes, the original ThanksKilling was far from something to write home about, but we cannot help but applaud the audacity it takes to make a second sequel that goes in search of the first sequel. Sound wacky? Wait until you've seen this clip!
