5 Gory/Twisted Music Videos from Ghastly
We obviously have a deep appreciation for gory and/or twisted music videos on Bloody-Disgusting, as evidenced by our Twisted Music Video of the Week series. But we’re not the only ones who appreciate them. It turns out that electronic musician Ghastly also has a soft spot for these kinds of videos and he’s all about bringing ones that will make you go, “What the fuck?”
Below you’ll see several videos that fit the above description as well as get a chance to see what Ghastly is all about. Have fun and make sure to be careful where you watch these as they’re most certainly NSFW!
Also, make sure to pick up some of Ghastly’s tracks via iTunes.
5. Suicide Silence – “You Only Live Once”
Suicide Silence is one of the best metal bands in my opinion. The almighty Mitch Lucker appears in his final Suicide Silence music video for the song “You Only Live Once” where he and the rest of the band are placed in front of a shooting range and riddled with bullets. If you like guns, blood, metal music, and bazooka wielding priests – – then this video was made for you.
4. Renaldo and the Loaf – “Songs for Singling Larvae”
Anyone else remember taking five hits of acid and being kidnapped by a crackhead when you were about 6 years old? Me either, but holy hell somebody save that kid!
3. Health – “We Are Water”
The song by itself is almost too much noise for most people (not yours truly and hopefully not mine truly) but paired with this video, it is given a definite meaning. I’m not sure what the hell that meaning is but I can’t lie and say that the ending of this video doesn’t give me the chills every, single, time. Witness what appears to be a red dress wearing damsel in distress running from a man wearing nothing but his bloody underwear and a machete. Once again this ending, it will make you feel something, an emotion I believe is cross blended with happiness, fear, bloodlust, and just a dash of beauty.
2. Waking The Cadaver – “Blood Splattered Satisfaction” AND Putrid Pile – “Blood Fetish”
Why did I choose 2 videos for 2nd place? Well, cause they’re the same exact music video. Describing one describes the other, for example:
This is one for those who like when the bad guy wins and really don’t like teenage girls. The narrator chimes in at the intro with a cryptic message about a killer and a young girl is kidnapped and slaughtered by a man with an exceptional chin beard in some dark and hazy shack and victoriously gets away with it. But I think my personal favorite part of the music video is the bands awkward stances and the frozen camera angles while they headbang in front of their friends hi-8 camcorder. Jam packed with plenty of inhale pig squeals, bludgeoning guitar licks, and intestines, why not?
1. Aphex twin – “Come to Daddy”
Aphex Twin is one of the best musicians of all time, yes it’s a fact. I was smoking a bowl of some really strong stuff when I witnessed the “Come To Daddy” video for the very first time and I couldn’t look at televisions or kids the same ever again. There’s something very primal and primitive about humans enjoying fear, it lets us know we aren’t safe and that darkness is alive and well and even if we don’t see it in our day to day lives, it’s there, inside the TV, in alley ways, and even in the children were raising, waiting for you to drop your guard. If you pause the video and don’t finish it, you might skip a nightmare or ten but stop hiding from fear, embrace it and enjoy it, become it’s friend, monsters are a lot less scary when they’re on your team.

A new month means a new guide as titles are added (and dropped) from streaming services. Let’s unpack the most exciting titles that are available to watch on Tubi in July 2026.
New to Tubi July Horror Films
Deep Blue Sea (1999)
- Premise: Searching for a cure to Alzheimer’s disease, a group of scientists on an isolated research facility become the prey as a trio of intelligent sharks fight back.
- Why Watch It? Let’s be frank: Director Renny Harlin has made some absolute dogs in the last few years (the less said about The Strangers trilogy the better, though this year’s Deep Water was actually ok). Deep Blue Sea remains one of the Finnish director’s best contemporary efforts, though. Between the great cast (Samuel L. Jackson, Saffron Burrows, Stellan Skarsgård, Michael Rapaport, LL Cool J, Thomas Jane, and Jane’s sleeveless wetsuit), the ridiculous premise, and that damn/dumb song (“My hat is like a shark’s fin”), you basically can’t go wrong with Deep Blue Sea. It’s one of two great shark films gliding onto Tubi this month, so why not stay out of the water and watch this instead?
- Streaming: July 1
Exorcist II: Heretic (1977)
- Premise: Reagan (Linda Blair), a girl once possessed by a demon, finds that it still lurks within her. Meanwhile, Father Lamont (Richard Burton) investigates the death of the priest who performed her exorcism.
- Why Watch It? August sees the release of documentary Boorman and the Devil, which is about the troubled production of this sequel. The notoriety surrounding Heretic has undoubtedly kept plenty of horror fans away from the sequel, but this truly is a “seeing is believing” kind of film. Real talk: it’s undeniably a disaster, but the John Boorman film has also become a minor cult film. Don’t you want to see it to make up your own mind?
- Streaming: July 1
Hostel: Part III (2011)
- Premise: Four men attending a bachelor party in Las Vegas fall prey to the Elite Hunting Club, who are hosting a gruesome game show of torture.
- Why Watch It? What does Hostel look like without Eli Roth? Part III kinda answers the question. Technically Roth is still a writer, but he hands over the directorial reins to Scott Spiegel (best known for acting in Evil Dead films). The result is a film with a terrible pedigree; it’s also the first (and last) entry to skip theatres before the franchise was permanently shelved (until that TV show with Paul Giamatti shows up?). For some horror fans, however, there’s something exciting about a bad low-budget sequel. Just bear in mind that the Hostel: Part III‘s biggest star is Kip Pardue…so adjust your expectations accordingly before hitting play.
- Streaming: July 1
Insidious 1-3 (2010/2013/2015)
- Premise: A family looks to prevent evil spirits from trapping their comatose child in a realm called The Further.
- Why Watch It? It’s hard to believe that the sixth (!) Insidious movie is coming out in a month and a half, but James Wan and Leigh Whannell‘s other horror franchise has been steadily chugging along for sixteen years. It’s a shame that Tubi doesn’t have all five films available to watch, but in terms of quality, you can do far worse than the original trio. The first film is iconic, and the second is basically an extended coda (with some admittedly problematic stuff going on). I’ll go to bat for Whannell’s 2015 directorial debut, though: there’s a few banger sequences in that film that people slept on.
- Streaming: July 1
Man Finds Tape (2025)
- Premise: After finding mysterious video clips, siblings investigate the strange recordings and uncover a disturbing secret spreading through their Texas town.
- Why Watch It? Writer/directors Paul Gandersman and Peter S. Hall‘s well-received found footage film did an extensive tour of the festival circuit, so now is a great time to check out one of the most contemporary titles debuting on Tubi this month. Surely a title that hails from producers Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (Spring and The Endless) is worth a free look?
- Streaming: July 2
Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)
- Premise: A depressed musician Adam (Tom Hiddleston) reunites with his lover Eve (Tilda Swinton). However, their romance, which has already endured several centuries, is disrupted by the arrival of her uncontrollable younger sister Ava (Mia Wasikowska).
- Why Watch It? This beautiful, melancholy vampire film is courtesy of writer/director Jim Jarmusch, who doesn’t often dabble in genre fare. As always, some will quibble if this artsy drama qualifies as horror, but the existential ennui of an eternal life certainly qualifies (bonus: there’s also something inherently sexy about watching Hiddleston and Swinton just lay about). Plus: if Leviticus has you hankering for more Wasikowska, this is an under the radar pick.
- Streaming: July 1
The Shallows (2016)
- Premise:A mere 200 yards from shore, surfer Nancy (Blake Lively) is attacked by a great white shark, with her short journey to safety becoming the ultimate contest of wills.
- Why Watch It? What better time to watch a shark movie than July? The temperatures are soaring and the idea of escaping into the water is so tantalizing. This tight, contained thriller features a great performance by Lively (and that damn seagull!), but it’s the direction from genre fave Jaume Collet-Serra (Orphan; the House of Wax remake) that keeps the movie clicking along like clockwork. At 86 minutes, this is a perfect summer flick.
- Streaming: July 1
Vacancy (2007)
- Premise: Stranded in an isolated motel, a couple (Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale) become the unsuspecting subjects of a snuff film.
- Why Watch It? I’m not going to pretend that this Nimród Antal-directed home invasion film is high art, but it is a good time. You’ll likely wish there were deeper characterizations for Wilson and Beckinsale’s David and Amy in Mark L. Smith‘s screenplay, but this mid-aughts thriller is tense, exciting, and just the right amount of grimy. Plus: another short runtime, clocking in at an expeditious 85 minutes!
- Streaming: July 1
July Tubi Originals
The One Next Door (2026)
- Premise: When a mysterious stranger moves in next door to Robert and Tabitha, boundaries are tested, loyalty is questioned, and danger comes for all.
- Streaming: July 10
I Know Where You Live (2026)
- Premise: Sarah thinks she’s found “the one” until his flaws emerge. When she pulls away, chilling threats suggest he’s watching her from inside her own home.
- Streaming: July 24
