History
Formed in 2002,[6] Bloody Disgusting was one of the first online challengers to horror mainstays like Fangoria magazine.[7] Recently, it has seen some significant competition from Comcast and Sony's Fearnet.[8] But unlike competitors such as Fearnet or Fangoria, Bloody Disgusting is largely "independent" with Miska and Owen maintaining editorial control.[9] Accordingly, Sci-Fi chose it as their site of the week in August 2007.[10]
Bloody Disgusting made the video of the Deathcore band Suicide Silence for the Kevin Greutert's movie Saw VI.[11]
Genre
Bloody Disgusting has been quoted in movie trailers and advertisements for horror films, including 30 Days of Night[12] and Feast.[13] Miska also makes media appearances as a "horror expert".[14]
