Show Notes
One of horror's most influential filmmakers joins Bloody Good Horror.
Eli Roth sits down with us to discuss his upcoming film, Ice Cream Man, while looking back on the era that transformed modern horror. From Cabin Fever and Hostel to the rise of the Splat Pack, Eli reflects on how horror broke into the mainstream and what it was like to be at the center of it all.
We also talk about his return to independent filmmaking, building his new venture, The Horror Section, supporting the next generation of horror creators, and how our very own co-host, Jon Schnaars, somehow ended up becoming the CEO of Eli's company.
Ice Cream Man releases August 7th. Buy tickets now at: http://icecreammanmovie.com/

More from Bloody Good Horror
This week we venture into Insidious: Out of the Further, and beg the question, how has a series built on the fear of the unknown become so hellbent on explaining everything that happens in such excruciating detail? Plus, the cringiest character of the year, Lin Shaye takes her place as the Dr. Loomis of modern times, and a dentist scene so disgusting it made all of us retch just talking about it.
What makes a horror movie a Halloween classic? Director Ben Sottak and Hereditary star Milly Shapiro join Bloody Good Horror to discuss Hallowarrior, Shudder's new post-apocalyptic horror film that combines gruesome violence, Halloween nostalgia, and an unexpectedly hopeful coming-of-age story.
The internet has made up its mind about Other Mommy, but the BGH crew has a more complicated take. We debate Rob Savage’s ambitious, occasionally overstuffed horror film, from Jessica Chastain’s uncanny dual performance and the increasingly surreal set pieces to the emotional story underneath it all.
Rachel sits down with three of the filmmakers behind V/H/S/Mixtape (2026) to discuss the latest entry in the found-footage horror anthology and the creative ideas behind their segments.
Carrie turns 50, and Bloody Good Horror is going back to Brian De Palma's 1976 classic to figure out why it still hits so hard.
