Horror Streaming Service SCREAMBOX Relaunches With Bloody Disgusting In the Driver’s Seat!

Published

on

If you’re enjoying BDTV (available for free everywhere you stream including The Roku Channel, Sling, Vizio, TCL, Rad.TV and the Bloody Disgusting App), Bloody Disgusting is also slashing into Cinedigm‘s Screambox, a subscription-based streaming platform that relaunched today with a killer new look and branding.

Screambox, which was named ‘The Perfect Horror Streaming Alternative to Netflix’ by Tech Times, features a broad mix of content for casual and die-hard horror fans alike. The service is refreshed monthly with content from Cinedigm’s extensive genre library with films and episodes delivering every type of terror imaginable — Supernatural, Slashers, Zombies and more.”

Cinedigm has put our Bloody Disgusting team in charge of managing and curating the Screambox content going forward. As an additional added value, the Bloody Disgusting TV channel will also be featured within the new Screambox!

In celebration of the re-launch of Screambox, new premium subscribers will be given the opportunity to redeem a free collectible NFT trading card as a welcome gift (available six days before Halloween). In addition, a series of original Bloody Disgusting-branded NFT trading cards will be sold at auction. Details on that shortly.

Subscriptions include unlimited movies and shows, with no ads: Month to month pricing is $4.99, while you can get discounted rates at 3 months ($11.99) or one year ($39.99). Sign up here and become a premium subscriber!


Cinedigm also continues to aggressively acquire new original content to bolster the channel’s catalog of Exclusives and Digital Premieres. Knifecorp, starring horror icon Kane Hodder, slashed its way into homes this past September as a Screambox Exclusive. The highly anticipated 8-part original series The Island will transport audiences to a disease-ridden island off the coast of Europe this October. The show, which according to DW Akademie “blurs the line between pandemic fantasy and reality,” centers around the spread of a deadly virus that ravages a remote island in the North Sea as the inhabitants fight to survive the catastrophe. Cinedigm also recently acquired Brain Freeze, the zom-com favorite that opened this year’s Fantasia International Film Festival. Its premiere on Friday, August 13th made it one of the channel’s most-watched films and showed that Cinedigm’s recent acquisitions are already a hit with viewers.

All in, the Bloody Disgusting Media Brand reaches more than 30 million unique horror fans annually across its website, the Bloody Disgusting podcast network, the BD app and via their social footprint. Last year, Cinedigm partnered with the company to create the popular ad-supported streaming channel Bloody Disgusting TV. Now Screambox and Bloody Disgusting TV will allow Cinedigm to offer fans the quintessential streaming screamfest with subscription-based (SVOD), ad-supported (AVOD) and FAST linear options. In addition to streaming their favorite movie, horror fans have access to a network of podcasts as well as the ability to learn about their favorite movie or actor while interacting with fellow horror enthusiasts on the website.
