Get Ready to Scream! The 3rd Annual Horror Movie Havoc Is Here!
It’s that time of year again! Read here to learn about the return of our beloved BAMPtober tradition! Get ready, fiends, because the most terrifying time of the year is upon us. For the third year in a row, the Bloody Awesome Movie Podcast is back with our film showdown: Horror Movie Havoc! This year, we’re pitting the scariest of the scary against each other in a bloody battle for genre supremacy, and we’re putting you—our loyal listeners—in the director’s chair.
This year’s bracket is all about the beasts and monsters that haunt our nightmares. We’ve chosen four classic horror subgenres to duke it out for the title of the scariest creature: Vampires, Werewolves, Ghosts & Spirits, and Natural/Animal Horror. Matt and Jon have each selected our top picks to face off, four for each subgenre, and it’s up to you to vote for the winner. We’ll be sharing the match-ups daily on our Instagram, @bloodyawesomemoviepod, so be sure to follow us to cast your vote and influence the outcome of the entire bracket!
The best part? This bracket is the perfect excuse for your own personal “31 Days of Horror” challenge. We’ve selected a mix of essential classics, modern favorites, and a few underrated gems in each category. We encourage you to watch the movies before you vote! A vote for a movie you haven’t seen is a vote for chaos! And let’s be honest, you’ll want to watch all of these incredible films anyway. So grab some popcorn, turn off the lights, and let the screams begin!
