Horror Movie Podcast Ep. 141: HORROR CINEMA AWARDS — A Celebration of the Finest Achievements in 2017 Horror Films

HORROR MOVIE PODCAST PRESENTS the 2nd Annual HORROR CINEMA AWARDS — A celebration of the finest filmic achievements in horror for 2017!

We’ve assembled a wonderful jury from every corner of the horror community, including filmmaker, critics, writers, podcasters, artists, and academics. The nominees came from our jury in traditional awards show categories from “Best Actress” to “Best Picture.” The nominees were then voted on by the selected jurors, as well as the Horror Movie Podcast hosts and our 2017 HMP Listeners of the Year.

After that, your HMP hosts give away their own special “Dead Serious” awards where we get a little more out of the box and award films for their best “Beastly Freaks” or use of “Horror in the Daylight.”

And if you listen to the very end, you might even hear what could have been a Moonlight-level slip-up for the HCAs.

Horror Movie Podcast is a bi-weekly show that’s released every other Friday. If you’d like to support our show, please subscribe to our podcast free in iTunes, and leave us a review!
