The Chainsaw Awards recognizes achievement in horror film, television and for the first time this year, video games. “Late Night With the Devil” star David Dastmalchian will host this year’s ceremony with Fangoria.com editor Angel Melanson. Presenters for the evening include Fede Álvarez (“Alien: Romulus” co-writer and director), Skeet Ulrich (“Scream”), Madeleine McGraw (“The Black Phone”), Dewayne Perkins (“The Blackening”), Lauren LaVera (“Terrifier 3”), Akela Cooper (“Malignant”), Peaches Christ (“Midnight Mass”), Dane DiLiegro (“Prey”), Alec Gillis, Tiffany Shepis (“Victor Crowley”), Lachlan Watson (“Chucky”) and more.
The 2024 nominees, which include films like “Evil Dead Rise,” “M3GAN,” “Infinity Pool,” “The First Omen,” “I Saw the TV Glow,” and TV shows like “Yellowjackets” and “Chucky,” were selected by organizers from an extended window of eligibility. Fangoria editor-in-chief Phil Nobile Jr. said the extension was created to ensure the event would more accurately represent the pool of horror content from the last year.
“We couldn’t just drop a 2023 awards show in October of 2024, so our nominees represent the best of not only all of last year, but the first half of this year,” said Nobile Jr. “This of course meant an unprecedented, absolutely brutal level of competition across 18 months of movies and shows. But it’s the Chainsaw Awards; getting a little bloody is, after all, totally on-brand for us.”

“Generally speaking, horror fans love things that defy convention. To that end, with each passing year we’ve been looking to push the Chainsaws into a space that exists past the traditional award show structure,” added Michael Varrati, writer and director of the 2024 Chainsaw Awards. “This is an event that allows us to celebrate the genre that we love, while also crafting a television special that fits firmly inside of it. We wanted to give audiences a show that not only celebrates horror creators…but horror fans.”
Executive producers include Tara Ansley and Abhi Goel for Fangoria Studios. Armen Aghaeian, Rebekah McKendry and Nobile serve as producers.
