A Bloody Disgusting Thanksgiving!
It’s the last Thursday of the month which means only one thing — it’s Thanksgiving! There’s a lot to give thanks for, but mostly we’d like to thank all of you dear Bloody Disgusting readers who have kept us going for ten years. Wait, what? Yup, this January Bloody Disgusting turns a decrepit 10. Want to buy us a holiday gift? I suggest a wheelchair, walker or oxygen machine. Ok, Ok, I’m being extreme, but in all seriousness I can’t believe it has been ten years already. I have so many great memories, many of which are documented here in last year’s decade retrospective. With that said, I spent last year focusing on the past — this coming year I want to look to the future. Technology is changing rapidly, we’re making tons of friends in the horrorverse, and hopefully we can take it up a notch come 2011. I won’t be satisfied until you’re satisfied. Basically, we’re gonna run this sucker until I’m six feet under. Tell us what you’re thankful for inside, where you can also enjoy a new yearly tradition: Eli Roth’s faux trailer for “Thanksgiving”.

‘Ebenezer’ Official Trailer – Ti West Turns Johnny Depp into ‘A Christmas Carol’ Icon Scrooge
Ti West (X, Pearl, MaXXXine) is back with the upcoming Ebenezer starring Johnny Depp, a fresh new take on the classic tale of A Christmas Carol from Charles Dickens.
Johnny Depp will play Ebenezer Scrooge in Ti West’s Ebenezer, and Paramount is bringing the film to theaters on November 13, 2026. Watch the official trailer down below.
The tagline? “The name you know. The story you don’t.”
Andrea Riseborough (Possessor), Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings), Tramell Tillman (“Severance”), Rupert Grint (Harry Potter franchise), Daisy Ridley (Star Wars franchise), Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games franchise), Charlie Murphy (“Peaky Blinders”), Arthur Conti (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice), and Ellie Bamber (“Willow”) also star.
Deadline had detailed in a recent report, “This version, a thrilling ghost story set in Dickens’ London, follows one man’s supernatural journey to face his past, present and future and fight for a second chance. Stephen Deuters and Jason Forman to executive produce.”
Nathaniel Halpern wrote the adaptation for Ti West to direct.
Written by Charles Dickens, the classic tale of A Christmas Carol has been adapted for the screen countless times over the years, with notable film adaptations including Scrooge (1951) starring Alastair Sim, Scrooge (1970) starring Albert Finney, A Christmas Carol (1984) starring George C. Scott, Scrooged (1988) starring Bill Murray, The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) starring Michael Caine, and A Christmas Carol (2009) starring Jim Carrey.
A Christmas Carol is classically a period piece ghost story. As Luiz H.C. wrote here on Bloody Disgusting, “Isn’t it weird how the single most influential piece of Christmas-related media is technically a horror story? One can even make the argument that Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol paved the way for the rise of Victorian Spiritualism during the following decade.”
