everyone welcome to another year of the Dead Meat horror Awards this year we're filming the show at vidiots a historic nonprofit video story and film theater in Eagle Rock Los Angeles it's a company that truly appreciates film which is what we're all about today you know I'll be honest I was worried that the genre might have peaked in 2022 but this past year showed us that we are truly living in a golden age of horror it seemed to continue a trend of there not being a dominant Trend in the genr

e right now we're really getting a huge variety of offerings especially from countries outside the US yeah we had sequels and adaptations some franchise were brought back from the dead there were big action-y movies some that felt homemade and one that hardly included any dialogue at all as always though the mainstream film Awards didn't bother to acknowledge too much of the genre besides Godzilla being nominated for visual effects because obviously yeah can't really ignore that one and so once

again we here at dead meat are following in the footsteps of fangoria Chainsaw Awards and the Saturns amongst many other fine genre Awards in acknowledging and celebrating the best in horror we've got 11 prime rib trophies cooked up and ready to go to the best films and filmmakers across various categories and this year for the first time we've put together a panel to determine the winners so it's no longer Just the Two of Us picking our favorites yes while Chelsea and I still had the unfortunat

ly when a lot of action is added to the mix as well of course the first goal of any film set should be to keep everyone safe stunt coordinators and choreographers and the stunt teams they work with ensure that we get onscreen Mayhem without any real life tragedy to present the award for best stunts or choreography we have an actor who insisted on doing most of his own stunts even when he was acting in his first film from 2022 is prey actor Dakota beavers Thanks James and Chelsea in prey I had th

e pleasure of Performing my own stunts but I was always kept safe on set because you can't act your way out of an injury without skilled stunt performers choreographers and technicians we'd all be out of commission thankfully they were there for the actors in this year's nominees who had to fall fly dance and die sometimes more than once the nominees for best stunts or choreography are Evil Dead rise the latest story in the Evil Dead Universe features inhuman acrobatics demonic levitations and o

ther worldly torture all to be expected when deadites get involved stunt coordinator steuart Thorp was kept busy lifting pulling and dropping actors from wires on countless occasions Alyssa Southerland threw herself completely into the performance not minding when she got banged up and bruised I had a good egg on my forehead I banged my head on the camera the biggest challenge may have come in the film's climax when actresses Lily Sullivan and the then 99-year-old n Fisher Spilled Out of an elev

ator alongside 6,000 L of fake blood Megan when animatronics couldn't suffice Megan the Killer Android was played by Australian actress and Champion dancer Amy Donald she worked with movement coaches Jed broy and Luke Hawker to develop the robot's physicality she could run on all fours really quickly she could rise like a cobra without using her hands her longtime dance teacher Kylie Norris developed the character's dance which included a standing backflip that led to viral Fame before the movie

was even released stunt coordinator Isaac Hammond kept everyone safe practicing fight scenes with cardboard box replicas and pool noodles and using wires with stunt performers as needed [Music] go supposed to happen Meg 2 the trench overseeing Meg 2's Blockbuster action was no small task for stunt coordinator Mark meeley who was challenged by a script that featured constant escalating action and and various fight scenes there's a line in the script that says wild stunts and action that has neve

r been seen before yeah thanks rites a large portion of the movie takes place underwater requiring actors to work closely alongside diving coordinator Dave Shaw Jason Stam once again did many of his own stunts including a spinning jet ski jump that was accomplished with a giant rotating mechanical arm and a Chase along a dock that utilized six exploding water tanks Renfield this direct sequel to The Universal classic Dracula mixes horror comedy and a whole lot of action the cast most of whom had

limited stunt experience spent months rehearsing and being trained in fighting parkour and wirework stunt coordinator Christopher Brewster guided them through the blood soak kills gravity defying action and fire stunts it is like every element of The Stunt World all comprised into this movie and it's really exciting when you get actors that want to put that effort in a memorable scene in an apartment complex saw Nicholas Holtz use severed arm Prosthetics As Weapons as well as use a wire harness

to jump three stories in the middle of a bloody kill scream 6 directors Matt bentelli opin and Tyler Gillette set out to make Scream 6 a grittier more action focused movie reflecting the franchise's shift to the urban setting of New York City stunt coordinator Alexandre kadoo oversaw the film's brutal fight scenes and suspenseful Chase sequences which saw the characters chased around in bodegas fancy apartments and derel theaters we keep joking that this is a secret action movie maybe not SEC m

not so secret action secret action movie The memorable ladder sequence was partially filmed on set using the actual actors but wide shots were filmed with stunt performers bridging a fifth Story gap between real apartment buildings and sick stunt coordinator Eliza Coleman made the most of six modest budget choreographing several visceral moments in the brutal fight for survival that spans most of the movie's runtime beginning of this was how can we do an entire movie that's really just one long

chasing during the film's finale a 17 second long fire stunt saw Coleman's daughter professional stunt performer Whitney Coleman double for actress Jane Adams meanwhile stuntman Chris Reed played the mass killer throughout most of the film and took a gnarly fall down steep narrow stairs and the prime rib for best stuner choreography goes to Renfield congratulations to Renfield for staking first place in the most highflying Award of the night back to you guys congratulations to Renfield in a mov

ie with a lot of humor and Gore and a Nick Cage performance it's impressive how much the action and stunt stood out well well deserved most of us are content with using the latest technology for Ben all purposes watching Tik Tok videos scrolling through Reddit playing gotcha games stuff like that but some Geniuses are able to utilize computers for a much higher calling making monsters that terrify us or creating kills that make us go wow as much as we love a good squib or prosthetic digital effe

cts are a necessary part of modern film making and in art form under themselves to present the award for best digital effects we have an actress who was the leading part in one of the biggest horror franchises of all time she's been acting since she was a kid and she also runs a podcast and performed in the Texas Chainsaw video game it's scoutt Taylor Compton thank you James and Chelsea although to some horror fans digital is a dirty word be dishonest not to recognize the ways computer Artistry

can make the unbelievable believable digital effects can enhance their practical cousins keep casting crew out of Harm's Way and really realize the outer limits of our imagination this year's nominees excelled all the above the nominees for best digital effects are Godzilla minus one tekashi amazaki pulled triple Duty as writer director and visual effects supervisor for Godzilla minus one which seized the Kaiju attack and already battered post-war Japan this allowed yamazaki to consider the VFX

requirements while writing the script and have more frequent VFX checks and posts since he was already there in person giving notes as director of course there were still challenges for the team of 35 effects artists especially when it came to the water which took up 500 terabytes of data and required so much processing that production kept nearly running out of Hardware it was this cat and mouse Chase of you know locking down VFX but we needed more more machines more power more everything in th

e end the team was able to create the effects for Godzilla in only 8 months with few late nights and no weekend work according according to the director the last Voyage of the demeer for this seaf fairing take on the classic Dracula tale director Andre uall reted with MPC VFX whom he previously worked with on scary stories to tell in the dark to enhance the Practical makeup on actor Javier botet and create the leathery bat wings that allowed his Dracula to take flight the German effects company

rise created the port city of Vara by extending buildings and adding hundreds of digital extras they also created the stormy seas transforming a water tank in Malta into the unforgiving waters that wreak havoc nearly as much as the stow away vampire though production used a practical ship set they also had to digitally render the demer when it was at Sea most of the shots where the ship is out in open water are 100% digitally created there's even little digital people walking around on the deck

the film features three characters Catching Fire none of which was done practically all the fire scene was created with visual effect effects Megan though producer James ju is an avid fan of practical effects there were times when Megan the Android needed digital Artistry to come to life like when she stripped to her metal core in the film's finale Finn design and effects provided the work and helped make the scenes with Megan played by Amy Donald match the ones where they used in animatronic sh

e never wore an animatronic mask she her face was digitally um replaced with a digital uh vers of the puppet's face for the film's climactic fight between robots Finn created full CG doubles of both Megan and Bruce allowing the digital Bots to go all out without damaging the Practical puppets Meg 2 the trench Meg 2's collection of creatures is as massive a number as it is scale featuring not only three different megalodons but a T-Rex a giant octopus and a swarm of prehistoric Predators known as

Snappers who were played on set by stand and dressed in chroma blue suits director Ben Wheatley got ahead of the work by storyboarding for 2 and A2 years and making an animated prev visualization this helped the returning scan line VFX and DN who not only designed the monsters but also animated them to move convincingly in water and on dry land that was a really good kind of challenge for me as a supervisor to try to attain good action sequences but maintain scale no one will save you it's not

easy to make an extraterrestrial home invasion film on a budget of just 22.8 million so writer director Brian Duffield carefully planned out how much the aliens would be seen we definitely were the kind of movie that like we knew every shot that had an alien in it way before we were shooting because they cost money this was made all the more challenging by the importance placed on the alien's physicality since the movie doesn't feature any spoken language the Invaders must communicate through Ex

pressions head movements and hand gestures all elements that needed to be designed and executed by effects house DN they tailored everything from the large movements down to the small details such as ripples around their necks and temples they used motion capture actors to inspire their animators and developed unique characteristics for each alien making them feel like individuals from another species rather than interchangeable extraterrestrials the Pope's Exorcist the Pope's Exorcist uses VFX

to bring its demonic Visions to life for everything from burning eyes to dropping Jaws multiple VFX companies contributed their talents including Cutting Edge frame by frame and metapic ALT VFX provided a swarm of birds and an exploding lady slate VFX worked with facial extensions and digital blood and why worry Productions helped augment facial distortions as a producer I always kind of responded to high Concepts and big characters this has both in Spades film's climactic exorcism contains a ho

st of other worldly visuals including an explosive bloody end to the demon as modius and the prime rib for best digital facts goes to Godzilla minus one congratulations to the crew for making a 7-year-old monster scarier than ever congratulations to the team behind Godzilla's digital effects we had the pleasure of seeing that movie in theaters and it absolutely floored me how good the king of monsters looked since the days of Lan Cheney and Jack Pierce special effects makeup has been integral to

horror movies as the decades went on practical effects continued to evolve using puppetry and Prosthetics and nowadays it is mindblowing how many things you can accomplish with real life effects including in some cases blowing up Minds whether it's depicting inventive new kills or bringing animatronics and Killer Robots to Life practical effects remain my favorite thing to see in horror to present the award for best practical effects we have a modern makeup magician she's worked on huge budget

films like Jurassic world Fallen Kingdom and The Predator as well as highquality fan films like Dylan's New Nightmare and never hike in the snow she also won season nine of Face Off makeup artist Norah huitt hey thanks James and Chelsea in an industry that always wants things cheaper and faster I'm glad to know that practical effects is always going to find its home in the horror genre whether it's a full-fledged monster or just good oldfashioned blood and guts analog effects are a magic trick t

hat Wows the audience this year's nominees include outstanding Gore diseases creatures and Killer Robots the nominees for best practical effects are Five Nights at Freddy's bringing Five Nights at Freddy's iconic Robot Band to life was always going to be a priority for this film which is why director Emma Tammy and series Creator Scott cofin guided their creation to make them feel rip tra out of the games Jim Henson's Creature Shop under supervision of lead designer Robert Bennett worked from or

iginal video game files to produce both fully animatronic characters and wearable suits with animatronic heads that could be disassembled as needed for close-ups there's a real symbiotic relationship that goes on between the person in the suit and the Puppeteer that's working the eyes and the ears and the mouth the only exception was foxy whose design was too dilapidated to house a performer instead fully animatronic and puppet versions were made the ladder requiring six puppeteers to operate th

e last Voyage of the demer director Andre uall wanted to give the most famous vampire in history a makeover I wanted our Dracula to feel it different more animalistic more feral like an adict starting with no veratu as an inspiration yoron lunstrum of FX Studios designed three three looks for Dracula one batlike one manlike and a wolf-like version which was ultimately unused to create a Dracula that stood out amongst the countless interpretations lungstrom puzzled together elements that don't ty

pically mesh such as the permanent smile lack of eyelids and bat-like features famed creature performer Javier botet spent 5 hours in the makeup chair every morning to undergo the transformation the crews work earned the film a place on the short list for the Academy Awards for Best makeup and hair styling though they didn't ultimately earn a nomination we're happy to fix that oversight today Megan despite its high-tech story Megan's filmmakers relied on Old School techniques like hiding puppete

ers instead of digitally erasing them in every shot where there is the Megan puppet I'm actually either below frame or directly behind her you can't see me but I'm actually there um with the puppet there is no full CGI version of Megan in the movie Megan was designed by Moro FX Studios with Kathy C overseeing the look and Adrien Morrow handling fabrication assisted by the esteemed WETA workshop on set the married couple helped operate Megan's animatronic face which had three different remote con

trols to individually move her eyebrows eyes eyelids jaw and lips multiple versions of Megan were crafted for various purposes like a waste up animatronic a posable dummy and a full body stunt double key makeup artist Steph Knight provided the gore like a prosthetic cheek that gave way to a gory second layer or fashioning a simple blood tube to spray the actors in some ways you don't need to act you just react and it's very realistic saw X for the return of John Kramer production designer Anthon

y sta based the traps on the simpler designs of the first two films wanting them to seem like things the engineer character could actually build on his own sta then built the traps on location with a local Mexico City crew once you get into a trap you're dealing with special effects Prosthetics fee effects production design lighting ultimately and cinematography and all of those elements have to you know Come Together As for the victims fractured FX fabricated all the prostetics from fake limbs

to entire bodies striving for accuracy with anatomically correct organs inside the results were so convincing even director Kevin grer can't always tell the difference in the finished film so that leg is fake Thanksgiving practical effects were so fundamental to Thanksgiving that director Eli Roth had group meetings with the production design effects costume hair makeup and art departments specifically to plan the kills to create the various bodies and their parts makeup effects designer Adrien

Moro makeup effects producer Kathy C and prosthetic makeup designer Steve Newburn worked from 3D scans of the actors we're able to do do different expressions and try out different things where like if you're doing a life cast it really takes like like doing the head takes like 40 minutes just for one expression this allowed them to test and fine-tune different facial expressions before 3D printing a mold from which the final sculpt would be cast Maro and SE work is also nominated in this same c

ategory for Megan when evil lurks for when evil lurks director Demian rugna reunited with special effects artist Marcos Bera after working with him in 2017's terrified rugna estimates that 80% of the film's effects are entirely practical from prosthetic bodies to puppeteered goats to conceive that it's a lot of work in the previous a lot of work to make the puppets make two realistic puppets since the film features multiple child deaths full body Prosthetics were made to avoid having the underag

e actors on set for violent scenes for the swollen rotten character who kicks off The Possession pandemic Bera designed an oversized puppet that required four performers controlling it from the inside they moved him with pipes while simultaneously pumping out liquids to create his decaying appearance and the prime rib for best practical effects goes to when evil lurks congratulations to the crew of when evil lurks for providing us with the kind of Mayhem we truly have never seen congratulations

to when evil lurks this was one of our closest categories in terms of votes but in the end evil went out this time if you're someone who hates spoilers award shows are probably pretty tough to watch We're showing you highlights from so many great films and the next category is no different it's time to celebrate the best kills of the past year so be forewarned it will spoil some seriously awesome moments for the movies listed on screen right now you've been warned to present the award for best k

ill we have an actress whose character suffered one of the most infamous kills in the history of the genre she also produces and co-hosts the scream dreams podcast which I am lucky enough to be a part of from terrifier and plenty of other films our dear friend Katherine Corran Thanks James and Chelsea in a genre built on Maniacs murderers and machete enthusiasts killers are only as good as their kills I should know at their best kills are celebrations of Life showing off all the inter blocking c

rafts and talents that make them believably Grizzly from writing and cinematography to makeup and acting this year's nominated deaths are an especially lively bunch the nominees for best kill are Max in Five Nights at Freddy's it only takes one day at Freddy's for babysitter Maxine to meet her end when she gets chomped in half by the titular bear in what fans might call the bite of 23 during auditions actress cat Connor Sterling was given a far less gruesome death for her character that changed

during production and she became a fan of the final product even when it was nerve-wracking to come face to face with the 8ft tall Fazbear so we used one head for me and then we used the actual big Freddy um and so I found that very unsettling for the actual bite stunt double Taran Terrell was lifted by wires and had her top half digitally erased it's a surprisingly and refreshingly graphic kill for a PG-13 horror film with a young target audience Trish in Kids versus Aliens Kids versus Aliens h

as a plot that's spelled out in its title and coming from director Jason Eisner who created treevenge and hobo with a shotgun you know that some kids and or aliens will be meeting some messy ends the aliens in this film have run out of gas and need human flesh to fuel their right home enter the Slime throne own co-writer John Davies based the design on director Jason eisner's love of 80s action figure playsets Jason came over when we were designing it he brought his own Slime Pit over uh which w

e really pulled a lot of reference from the team had only two days to film on the Slime Throne set so when it came to Trisha's death time was of the essence for both actress Emma Vickers and her stunt double Lily Melle it took 6 hours to apply a skull prosthetic to Michelle which was designed by sculptor Anthony V and painted by key makeup artist Kyla Nicole the face piece left her unable to see for the duration of the shoot we okay I'm good another girl Valentina in Saw X John Kramer's return t

o playing games kicks into high gear with his trap for fake nurse Valentina she must sever her leg and deposit enough bone marrow in 3 minutes to avoid being decapitated she obviously failed it's a trap so violent director Kevin grer assumed they couldn't show all the footage they shot as it turns out we were able to use all the shots that we did I don't know what the mpa was thinking but I'll take it the kill took 3 Days To Shoot switching between different stages of effects it began with actre

ss pette Hernandez working a real xie saw against a pad underneath her thigh continued with Hernandez's real leg hiding in a hole while she cut into a prosthetic leg which was built by fractured effects to drip blood and Marrow and ended with a full prosthetic body that fell apart on Q with monofilament guiding the individual pieces to their marks it's a Kill made memorable by the extensive Prosthetics and Hernandez's energetic performance EF from weight inside ASA weight's body and suitable fle

sh a body hopping antagonist can be difficult to kill but heroin Elizabeth Derby slows him down at least by pulverizing one of his host bodies she does so using her car in a concept director Joe Lynch had been sitting on since 2007 which he dubs the Smashing the Smashing part was something that I had in my back pocket for 15 years I've wanted to do that since I owned a Prius due to budget constraints actress Heather Graham did the driving herself while Lynch shouted directions on when to back up

stop and go forward they pushed the car so hard that on the fourth take it broke the camera the dashboard footage was filmed separately with a GoPro and features the makeup work of anomaly effects under the supervision of Greg McDougall Kathleen in Thanksgiving there's a lot for gorehounds to be thankful for in Eli Roth's Thanksgiving but the most thematic kill of the movie comes when stepmother Kathleen is basted and roasted alive in her own oven then later served as the main course at a venge

ful dinner to accomplish the kill actress Karen kich was temporarily sealed inside the oven prop in inspiring a performance that scared some of the crew offset all the doors were closed all around me so like thank God I wasn't claustrophobic right because it was real it was real so in that sense I was able to really play off of the terror of being enclosed I'm not claustrophobic but sometimes it was closed although Prosthetics were applied for the kill her roasted remains were digitally sculpted

based on scans of the actress Vicki in when evil lurks when evil lurks has many gruesome moments but the most shocking is when director Damian rugna breaks a horror taboo with a possessed dog attacking and killing an unsuspecting young girl child actress luri neon tazac was kept safe by combining practical effects from maros Berta and digital stitching by visual effects artist Andre borgi it's photo realistic so it has to look like I did nothing there but everything is actually digitally enhanc

ed rugna insisted on using a dog de Bordeaux in the film film to avoid more stereotypically violent dog breeds but even with training by Fabian gabelli he discovered on set that the dog actor was almost too lazy to work with and the prime rib for best kill goes to Vicki in when evil lurks congratulations to the crew of when evil lurks for such a shocking kill it still makes you scream even when you see it coming congratulations to one evil lurks for winning best kill honestly many of that movie'

s kills could have been nominated for this award but we had to go with the one that shocked us the most for better or worse and if you're shocked by any of these winners well you can't just blame us this time as we mentioned in the introduction this year we put together a panel to determine the winners from the nominees that Chelsea and I chose each panelist was given one vote for each category and whichever nominee got the most votes one in the one instance of a tie Chelsea and I served as tieb

e who's just utterly terrifying villains come in many different forms this year's nominees include a kid a couple of killers a demon an entity and a Paranoid Android to present the award for best villain we have a man who's been playing them for decades he has the ability to to be terrifying and hilarious at the same time whether he's leading the Firefly family or proclaiming that music is his life he's a veteran of the genre and once played our boss in a music video Mr Bill Mosley Thanks James

and Chelsea or should I say officers Dunbar and opilia you know it takes a lot to make a great horror villain killer script committed performance the latest in slasher Fashions and tools of the trade I prefer the chainsaw and the claw hammer when all those ingredients come together a great villain can take a life of their own even if they don't have one to begin with like some of our nominees the nominees for best villain are Eden from Children of the Corn this prequel to The Original film and S

tephen King's short story reveals the first spokesperson for He Who Walks Behind The Rose it's a fiery 11-year-old named Eden Edwards who Rebels against the towns adults including her adoptive father the pastor Eden was played by actual 11-year-old Kate Moyer who got so into character that writer director Kurt Wimmer changed the script to match her performance he would rewrite the character the way that I played it so it was more me than it was like written on the page in order to find righteous

ness in her revenge Moyer played Eden as an environmental activist deadite Ellie from Evil Dead rise the lead deadite of Evil Dead rise quickly became the film's most talked about asset so it's no surprise that this maternal take on the Damned was what one writer director Lee Cronin the job in the first place I knew we needed a really great big bad in the story and that was the kind of idea of taking the mother like maybe the obviously most secure person within the story and then subverting her

creating the look of the possessed Ellie took 2 and 1/2 hours of makeup every morning from designer Luke py and for the later scenes when she merges into the marauder 70 lbs of Prosthetics were required between the Prosthetics and the wirework the performance was an endurance test for actress Alysa southernland but it paid off the result is a deadite unlike any we've ever seen before CW from influencer in a world of stolen identities and deep fakes created with the help of AI CW proves herself t

o be a terrifyingly modern villain using technology to live out a life of luxury that isn't her own co-writers Curtis David Harter and Tesh guti Konda wanted the Killer's background kept a so they encouraged actress Cassandra no to come up with her own secret history for the character no plays the manipulator expertly able to switch between being a warm friend a naive fan and a ruthless killer whenever the situation calls for it the actress also had to learn new skills and overcome fears to conv

incingly portray the very physical character the biggest thing for me was CW's physicality I had never driven a motorcycle before and there are a lot of motorcycle traps I had a fear of swimming Megan from Megan having previous experience with horror dolls and saw and dead silence Megan producer James Juan sought to outdo his previous work and make the killer doll to end all killer dolls the clingy cuttingedge robot's physicality was based on the calculated movements of Bruce Lee and provided by

11-year-old New Zealand dance champion Amy Donald Donald performed all her own stunts while wearing a mask for long hours that severely limited her visibility we've got hand signals this means I'm really good and this is get me out of the Mask I can't handle it EV for everything Donald couldn't do Megan was realized prosthetically by Maro F Studios and digitally by Finn design and effects actress and internet personality Jenna Davis voiced the robot completing the collaboration that gave horror

its latest icon The Entity from Skinnamarink writer director Kyle Edward ball based the OM omnipotent and nameless entity in Skinnamarink on common threads he noticed in viewer submissions in his YouTube channel bite-sized nightmares I'm a little kid I'm in my house and my parents are missing and there's a monster he made the haunting personal by using the same public domain cartoons he watched on a tape as a child and voicing it himself without revealing anything more than a blurry face in the

dark The Entity managed to embody the monster under all of our beds and bran skar rink with its singular sense of dread and John Carver from Thanksgiving co-writer and director Eli Roth has been daydreaming about stuffing a turkey with terror since he was a little boy and then we're at the parade watching the the turkey guy walk around and I thought if you chopped his head off would he run around like a turkey with his head cut off so so these are my thoughts when I'm like a kid growing up in M

assachusetts the idea for the movie's killer Pilgrim was introduced in 2007 in a fake trailer for the movie grind mind house but it wasn't until this feature that he was deemed John Carver a perfect slasher name that Roth and co-writer Jeff Randell borrowed from Plymouth colony's actual first governor they even based the Killer's mask on a rare drawing of Carver from the 1620s depending on the demands of the scene Carver was played by stunt performers Alex arm Brewster Jeff meech and Thomas lber

or actors Milo Manheim and Patrick Dempsey he was voiced by Adam McDonald and the prime rib for best V goes to Megan congratulations to Megan from One Medal head to another for keeping a whole new generation up at night way to go girl congratulations to Megan for her win for best villain the character became iconic before the movie was even released and thankfully she lived up to the high expectations we can't wait for the sequel when it comes to playing a character in a horror movie of course

it's always nice to be top build but The Supporting Cast is just as important filling in as comic relief or as the compelling villain they may not be the first on the call sheet but they're often the first person you talk about when you leave the theater to present the award for best supporting actor we have someone whose career has been on fire lately he's the lead sometimes sure but he also stands out even when he's one of many award-winning actors in a cast although that could be because of t

might win praise but if it's not well received you might unfairly get the blame it's a risky role to accept but a great leading performance can make a movie worth watching all by itself to present the award for best lead actor we have a man who not only acts but hosts writes does comedy and is just a cool guy he's a true blue horror fan and plays the lead role in the just relased shutter film destroy all neighbors our friend Jonah Ray rodriges Thanks James and Chelsea Center Stage is a tough pl

ace to be in a horror film whether you're in constant danger or the one doing the constant endangering your performance sets the tone and the terror for the entire film even the scariest monsters can come off cute and cuddly if we didn't believe that our hero was truly afraid of them and so this year's nominees gave us plenty of fear to believe in so here are the nominees for best lead actor Melissa banetta as Samantha Carpenter in Scream 6 when she signed on for 2022 scream Melissa Barrera hope

d to expand on the character of Sam Carpenter in sequels and even presented her ideas to the filmmakers while part six was being written it wasn't just like the tough girl the protective older sister that like has all these walls up I was like what happens when those walls break down and we didn't get a chance to see that in the fifth one in this second outing for Sam Carpenter Barrera brings nuance and complexity to the Final Girl exploring a woman haunted by the traumas of the previous film an

impressed by how well Caitlyn dver handled the role's physical demands uh because she's also not like method like it's like she'll be like screaming crying doing whatever and then you call cut and she's just like dancing around and it's just such a such a superpower despite not being known for action roles diver fully threw herself into the film's required stunts she was given permission to mutter words in the otherwise wordless film but she never did instead Selling the Drama by facial express

's storye and Sophie wild as Mia and talk to me directors Danny and Michael Filippo were so impressed by Sophie Wild's audition that they sacrificed a million dollars from the budget to cast The Unknown actress as their lead wild was the first cast member to act out her character's possession and the directors gave her free reign to play it however she she liked she would give us so many different variations to the point where she said she felt like she lost her mind and she was just riffing and

talking the resulting performance was so powerful the rest of the cast based their own possessions on hers I have this reoccurring nightmare I'm looking in the mirror my reflection is gone like I didn't exist and the prime rip for best lead actor goes to natala stone for her performance in huera the bone woman congratulations to Natalya for her heartbreaking performance in the face of a bone breaking ghost congratulations to Natalia Solon for an emotional performance that made the metaphorical

literally terrifying no matter how many horror movies you watch it never makes it easier when you lose someone in real life and that was made clear to me this past year in addition to my personal loss we sadly said goodbye to many people who contributed their talents to the genre from actors to filmmakers to poster designers each of them spent at least some of their time on this Earth contributing to the movies we love they will forever be a part of us in that way and they will forever be missed

here is our IM memorium for those we lost over the past year [Music] we are experiencing some kind of disaster I don't know whether it's man-made or natural but I do know that it's definitely not Supernatural now there's something you don't see every day [Music] I'll be done [Music] where Immortal Buffy you can do [Music] anything [Music] I am the color red in a world full of black and white I Bray Wyatt am [Music] forever it is I who others fear [Music] you son of a bitch okay okay okay I didn

't know when to quit huh damn good to see you d we lost a lot of good people this year but we'll always remember them and the joy they brought to us each in their own special way as we just saw from the various credits in that Montage it takes a ton of people to make a movie but the person most associated with a movie's quality for better or worse is the captain of the set the director a director works with every Department to achieve their vision for a film especially the cinematographer to mak

e sure everything looks just right and the actors to make sure their performances all fit the tone of the project a good director will leave a movie feeling coherent and satisfying to present the award for best director we have a man who started his career as a cinematographer for music videos and the legendary Spike Lee eventually he began directing his own films including the heroing juice and the horror films demon knight and Bones as well as dozens of TV episodes on Dexter the walk dead and

the wire we are honored to have him the immensely talented Ernest Dickerson thank you James and Chelsea you know Andy set can turn into a horror movie without a strong vision and a steady hand to keep the cast and crew United directing his demanding work even on the best of days and it is a testament to this year's nominees that they kept the nightmares and the horrors on screen and off the set and so the nominees for best Direct director R Michelle Garza sea for usera the bone woman while haera

is full of bone crunching horror to propel its story Michelle Garza sea paid equal attention to the more mundane fear at the film's core domestication and all the demands it places on women like protagonist Valeria it's like okay we exist this kind of women exist let's talk about them because if we try to hide these aspects we're like bringing something very violent into this kind of character in realities s and DP nor Rubio sherwell created a visual language to express the confinement of Valer

ia's domestic world it was colorful and harmonious but at the same time terrifying contrasting with the punk World from her past which was full of dark colors and freedom as Valaria becomes entangled in the bone woman's web the director used lighting production design and costuming to construct the sense of a spiderweb slowly ens snaring her Lee Cron for Evil Dead rise when creating Evil Dead rise Lee Cronin sought to bring a new element to the Beloved series heart to do that he created a family

as its Central characters but made sure not to sacrifice the franchise's trademark chaotic violence to me it was the energy the scare factor in the entertainment and that was the thing I wanted to carry to Evil Dead rise Cronin tried to keep the movie playful by showcasing the blood and gore in a way that didn't feel too grim and never lingering on suffering for too long he worked with with DP Dave garbett to use camera tricks like split diopter shots which allowed him to avoid cutaways without

sacrificing important details resulting in scenes that constantly kept the energy moving Brian Duffield for no one will save you with a movie that features only five words of spoken dialogue getting the right performance out of his lead was key for Brian Duffield he credits Caitlyn dver for the success but he was still responsible for making sure the audience felt side by side with her wordless character Brin throughout the action of the film I'm figuring out how to make it Relentless that you

were really um holding Caitlyn's hand in the movie and not just watching this thing bounce around on screen developing the movie's graze was more complex with a limited budget Duffield had to carefully choose when and how to show the aliens while at the same time giving enough detail to make the creatures feel intelligent and unique this required careful attention to their movement starting with two days of map work that while never used for actual animation allowed the director and VFX artists

to experiment with ideas quickly with this they were able to bring a new depth to the classic extraterrestrial design Gerard Johnson for Megan directing the first breakout horror movie of 2023 was a surprisingly personal experience for Gerard Jonstone who had recently become a new father watching how we were so easily just relying on devices to occupy our kids time or to educate them it was just it's just it was really that that to me was horrific it's part of the reason Jon Stone who considers

himself more a director of Comedy than horror wanted to bring his comedic Edge to the project creating the film's campy tone required him to carefully guide every performance including the team of people portraying Megan herself her designers puppeteers actress and voice actress Jon Stone threaded the needle of comedy and horror and shaped Megan into the viral s ation it became Danny and Michael philipo with talk to me with talk to me Brothers Danny and Michael philipo built on a decade of exper

ience from their popular YouTube channel rakar raka to tell a distinctly modern ghost story we were trying to make a film that's like current and what would happen if there's like a horror scenario in today's setting with phones and social media using a ceramic hand they crafted a cautionary tale about craving Connection in a world that is hyper online but emotionally isolating the firsttime feature directors worked with an Australian cast of Mostly unknown young actors and kept their teenage ch

aracters authentically Messy as they experimented with spiritual possession and deian rugna for when evil lurks to create a movie about pure unchecked evil Daman rugna wanted to break as many horror rules as possible but with a script calling for extreme violence animal choreography and child actors it was sometimes difficult to film what was on the page while adhering to Argentina's child labor laws they didn't allow us to work with the kids with blood with guns with violent elements with a dog

it took constant Ingenuity to keep the script alive including camera tricks doubles and even the use of blue paint instead of blood which was changed to a bloody Crimson in post in the end everyone won the child actors had fun with their dead prosthetic doubles and ruga Turnal one of the year's most relentlessly horrifying films so the prime rib for the best director goes to deian rugna for when evil lurks congratulations deian and thank you for truly making us feel like no one and nothing is s

afe thank you so much for that congratulations to Damien rugo for putting together when evil lurks he's made plenty of featur before but this feels like a breakout film and I'm excited to see what he has in store for us next we knew last year that we wanted to find a different way to pick winners and as mentioned we settled on a jury of film critics that way it wasn't just the two of us picking our favorites but it's still avoided turning every category into a popularity contest but you know wha

t popularity contests do have their purposes like finding out what you the viewer likes just as we did last year we put out a poll on social media and received 23,000 votes to determine this year's fan favorite award to announce the winner we've got the third host of dead meat he's the Channel's fun uncle and defender of all things graboids and Crites our wonderful friend and The Man Behind they talk zor gooage for all the fluids that get spilled on screen it's the fans that are the true lifeblo

ned a big hand I'm not touching that thing congratulations to talk to me I'm so glad this movie resonated with horror fans so much we're proud of the philippos for catapulting themselves from YouTube content creators to fully-fledged filmmakers and who knows maybe we'll join them one day long franchises can be found all over the film industry today but I think it's safe to say the horror genre had the first claim Universal monsters saw early remakes and shared cinematic universes and the slasher

s of the 80s were well known for their seemingly endless sequels when horror fans like something they want movie after movie featuring the same characters or Killers even when the quality doesn't hold up throughout the series it's nice to have something familiar and comfortable to present the award for best remake or sequel we have a man who has produced more sequels than I could ever even hope to count and Counting is literally my job his production company has many long-running franchises like
