Lionsgate Horror Movie ‘Mommy’s Home’ Unfreezes a Cryogenically Preserved Mother

The FANGORIA Chainsaw Awards are back this year and bigger than ever.

Once again airing on AMC’s Shudder, the 2024 FANGORIA Chainsaw Awards has shifted the annual awards show’s shift to October; as such, the window of this year’s eligible horrors is an expanded one, encompassing all of 2023 and the first half of 2024. That means a much bigger selection of horror titles to pull from, and with the expanded categories this year, that means a massive list of 46 nominees. They even have a new category this year: Best Video Game.

Here’s where you come in; FANGORIA needs your vote to decide on the winners! We have it on good authority that some of the categories are extremely competitive right now. And voting happens to be officially open for the awards show.

Participants can cast their votes via the official FANGORIA website at www.fangoria.com/vote/. Voting polls close on July 20, 2024.

The Chainsaw Awards, according to the official press release, arrive at a “pivotal moment when the horror genre has seen a remarkable resurgence in both critical acclaim and box office success. This year’s contenders, from chilling psychological thrillers to pulse-pounding supernatural tales, have not only captivated audiences but also shaped the future of horror storytelling.”
