October 30 Clayface, body horror hit or comic book misfire? (Plus, BGH is 19!)
BGH turns 19-YEARS-OLD this week, and to celebrate we're reviewing the latest from DC Studios, "Clayface".

We dig into this body horror tinged take on a villain origin story and ask the question, is it actually a horror film? We also discuss the melty, gooey special effects, Mike Flanagan's influence on the story, the chemistry (or lack thereof) between the two leads, and where a character like this could fit into James Gunn's remodeled DCU.

Plus, John Carpenter's Body Bags is trending, new interviews from the cast and crew of both The Cycle and Breeder, Hell House, LLC turns 10, The Birds return, Crystal Lake hot takes, haunted houses and hayride stories, and the BGH crew talks about our Halloween plans.

**NOTE** The full video version of our show is now exclusively available for our Patrons.

October 23 Insidious: Out of the further. Dentists, grapefruits, and bad decisions

Plus, the cringiest character of the year, Lin Shaye takes her place as the Dr. Loomis of modern times, and a dentist scene so disgusting it made all of us retch just talking about it.

After the break we're digging into the landmark re-release of Ken Russel's The Devils, preview Shudder's latest, The Cycle, talk about our 19th anniversary happening this month and look ahead at our 20th year. 🎙️Full audio episode also available wherever you listen to podcasts.

October 16 Other Mommy Review: A Flawed Horror Movie Worth Defending?
The internet has made up its mind about Other Mommy, but the BGH crew has a more complicated take. We debate Rob Savage’s ambitious, occasionally overstuffed horror film, from Jessica Chastain’s uncanny dual performance and the increasingly surreal set pieces to the emotional story underneath it all.
Is the movie’s breakneck pace undermining its ideas about grief, infidelity, and the responsibilities of parenthood? Or is there something genuinely affecting beneath the chaos? We get into the film’s most disturbing moments, its complicated ending, and why its flaws don’t necessarily erase what works.
After the break we talk hype-level for the Crystal Lake series, Eric reports back after ONLY watching the final episode of Carrie, we look at the most searched costumes of 2026 and talk about early buzz on Clayface being a hard R horror movie.

October 09 Carrie at 50: The Movie That Never Stopped Being Relevant
Carrie turns 50, and Bloody Good Horror is going back to Brian De Palma's 1976 classic to figure out why it still hits so hard.
Based on Stephen King's first published novel, Carrie became a landmark horror film thanks to Sissy Spacek's unforgettable performance, Piper Laurie's terrifying turn as Margaret White, and De Palma's wildly inventive visual style. But watching it again 50 years later reveals a movie that is doing much more than building toward that infamous prom sequence.
We dig into the film's complicated relationship with sexuality, religious repression, female power, bullying, and coming of age, and discuss why this version of Carrie can actually feel more relevant today than some of its more recent adaptations. We also break down De Palma's use of split screens, color, camera movement and visual language, and why the movie's slow burn makes the chaos of its final act so effective.

October 06 Other Mommy Director Rob Savage Interview: Jessica Chastain is "mind-blowingly terrifying"
Director Rob Savage joins Bloody Good Horror to discuss Other Mommy, his terrifying adaptation of Josh Malerman’s novel hitting theaters October 9th.
Savage talks about translating the book’s cosmic horror to the screen, creating scares in broad daylight, and finding new ways to keep audiences from trusting the visual language of horror. He also digs into the film’s complicated ideas about motherhood, family, and the different versions of ourselves that exist beneath the surface.
Plus, the star power and sheer terror that Jessica Chastain brings to her dual role, why they ultimately moved away from using prosthetics to distinguish her characters, and how she was able to create some of the film’s most disturbing moments using nothing but her face and body. As Savage puts it, she is the film’s “secret weapon.”
Other Mommy arrives October 9.
