The Fangoria Chainsaw Awards are back here in 2023, with Fangoria officially announcing the nominees and beginning the voting process this week. Unlike the Oscars, the Chainsaw Awards are voted on entirely by the fans, and now is your chance to let your voice be heard.
Fangoria previews, “This past year in horror has been an absolute feast of frights, and we are so excited to celebrate outstanding achievements in horror film and television with our 2023 Chainsaw Award nominations.”
“We shouldn’t be surprised at the lack of love horror received from mainstream awards this year, but 2022 was an embarrassment of riches for the horror fan, and to see none of it nominated by the bigger institutions was a bit of a shock. As ever, FANGORIA is happy to pick up the slack,” Editor-in-Chief Phil Nobile Jr. said in a statement.
“The genre excellence on display in 2022 encompasses veterans and new voices, productions of all sizes, and every color of the dark. The competition this year is going to be a bloodbath.”
Bloody Disgusting’s own Terrifier 2 was nominated for Best Limited Release Movie and Best Makeup FX, while the BD-produced V/H/S/99 is up for Best Creature FX! SCREAMBOX documentaries Pennywise: The Story of IT and Living With Chucky, have been nominated for Best Documentary Feature, the former available to stream now and the latter coming soon.
Other nominees in the various categories include Barbarian, Nope, The Black Phone, X, Pearl, The Innocents, Deadstream, The Sadness, Scream, The Menu, and Shudder’s “Queer for Fear.”
Voting is now live, so vote for YOUR favorites right here!
