The year 2024 is starting off with a bang and a slash here at TVs of Terror! Freshly out of a dire corporate buyout situation and back in the screening game full-bore – and a few bodies deep – we’re ready to open the floodgates and let the freak flags fly with a real zinger of a movie. Our first offering is Fabrice Ange-Zaphiratos’ 1983 Wisconsin-set ghost-possession slasher Bloodbeat.

In describing the indescribable, it’s best to follow the rather succinct IMDb plot synopsis: “A young woman accompanies her boyfriend to his family’s rural Wisconsin home for Christmas, where the spirit of a Japanese samurai begins wreaking havoc on them.

It’s true. We’re showing a Christmas movie in January! Not because we just couldn’t get enough festive spirit, but this one has been looking for a home in our repertoire for some time. We simply couldn’t wait another 12 months to lay it on y’all, so we hope you’re ready for a wild one!

In keeping with our reputation as BhamNow’s premiere “free pizza and a movie spot in the ‘ham”, we’re supplying the goods once more, along with popcorn and candy for your movie-viewing pleasure. Maybe we’ll break out the Christmas leftovers, too! Come dressed in your best rural holidays attire, and get ready to get your noggin zapped by Blood Beat!
