Watch the 2021 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards for Free on YouTube; Full Winners List Here
Last night, Fangoria and Shudder got together to celebrate 2020’s best horror at the virtual 2021 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, a fun ceremony that ran about the length of Shudder’s short-and-sweet Host. Unlike most awards shows with their bloated runtimes, the Chainsaw Awards got in and out in a flash, entertaining every step of the way and leaving you with enough time in your night to catch up on at least one of 2020’s best that you might’ve missed last year. And if missed the ceremony itself last night, you’ll be happy to hear it’s now online.
Best of all, you can watch the 2021 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards for free over on YouTube!
The 56-minute event was hosted by actor David Dastmalchian (The Suicide Squad) and his fanged alter-ego Dr. Fearless, with presenters including Jamie Lee Curtis, Keith David, Kevin Smith, Gigi Saul Guerrero, Doug Jones, Biqtch Puddin, and more. The big winner of the night was Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man, which took home awards in five different categories.
“It has been a hard year,” Dastmalchian began the show. “But in spite of all the uncertainty, one thing remained clear. It was a banner year for horror. Horror movies helped carry us through this year and set all kinds of amazing new landmarks for the genre.”

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
