David Dastmalchian’s Grave Conversations is one of the most unique interview shows out there right now, and one that absolutely has a place at the Chainsaw Awards.

The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs
All good things must come to an end and it pains us to say that The Last Drive-In is one of those things that is ending. Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy the Mail Girl are nearing the end of their run hosting horror double features on Shudder, with a new show in the works that will debut next year. But before that happens, The Last Drive-In is getting one last well-deserved nomination
Joe Bob and Darcy have been a staple of the chainsaw awards ever since this show debuted – and with good reason. There’s nothing else like it on the air right now and nobody loves horror the way Joe Bob loves horror
Monstrum
PBS has always been a treasure trove, even for horror fans in some cases. That’s where Monstrum comes into play. The world is full of monsters, myths and legends and this show takes a closer look at them. Hosted by Emily Zarka, Ph.D., it takes viewers on a journey to discover a new monster for each new episode

Monstrum looks at humans’ unique drive to create and shape monster mythology through oral storytelling, literature and film. Horror fans are obsessive by nature and this show really helps offer up deep dives into the things we love
Svengoolie
Svengoolie is now and has been a staple of highlighting horror on television for decades. Not unlike what Joe Bob Briggs does for his fans, Svengoolie gives horror that might not otherwise have a place to shine a home on TV. Featuring sketches, song parodies and more, this show is a love letter to the genre unlike any other
The Chainsaw Awards exist so that shows like Svengoolie can get their well-deserved moment in the sun. The Emmys might never, but Fango absolutely will
The polls are now officially open and close on July 15 at 11:59 PM PST. Vote now, horror fans! The FANGORIA Chainsaw Awards will be broadcast October 25 on Shudder, so be sure to tune in
