Who remembers the Bloody Disgusting Movie Pit?
Bloody Disgusting was founded 25 years ago (!!!) on one simple idea: we wanted to bring horror fans together. In our early days things like the message boards, Movie Pit and user community were a core part of what made Bloody Disgusting feel special. As BD grew and the internet evolved, things changed for all of us and those spaces were unfortunately stripped away in favor of social media and broader platforms.
Today we’re all very excited to take a first step towards bringing that sense of community back with the launch of the Bloody Disgusting Horror Movie Database.
Think of it as the reanimated (and modernized) corpse of our old Movie Pit where you can build your profile, rate films, create public or private lists, and discover what other fans are watching. Use it to find your next film to watch, follow other horror fans, or just leave your stamp on the horror community.
This is very much in beta, but it’s the start of building a home for the horror community again.
Let us know your honest thoughts, if you find any bugs, and what kinds of features you’d like us to add. We already have a whole slate of features and ways to tie it all more deeply into Bloody Disgusting that we’re getting ready to roll out, but this is meant to be a home for horror fans so we want YOU to help us shape it.
There are already over 6,000 horror films in the database waiting for you here, so go sign up and create your profile to get started. If you have any issues, find errors or bugs, or just want to let us know what you think, please send us a message.
If you weren’t around during the Movie Pit days, here’s what it looked like back in 2006. Raise your hand if you had a BD message board account way back when!
