This is insane. They're trying to claim she said antisemitic remarks about "Jews controlling the media." I can't find ANYTHING like that in her posts. She called for a ceasefire & a return of hostages to save Palestinian and Israeli civilians. That shouldn't be controversial. Wtf
It's so sad to me when people treat movies like a logic puzzle rather than a comprehensive visual & audio experience. Just because you can find "holes" in a storyline doesn't negate how a movie makes you feel or think. Films can focus more on themes, and that's okay.
To watch my favorite horror franchise crumble in the span of 24 hours is surreal and disappointing. Can't believe Spyglass fumbled this so hard. There go my dreams of the douchey Film Fails podcasters getting killed at a Stab convention...
EXCLUSIVE: Jenna Ortega, who was a lynchpin draw in getting ‘Scream VI’ to the horror franchise’s best opening grosses ever at $44.4M stateside, $67M global, isn’t expected to return for

MOTHERFUCKER a fucking commenter probably just spoiled Scream 6 for me in the comments of today's episode. I'm so god damn fucking pissed off right now. Unbelievable how people can be SUCH pieces of shit.
I wasn't sure about it at first because it's SO CONFUSING, but we're far enough along in production that I feel comfortable announcing it: the Kill Count for Friday 10/27 will be EMESIS BLUE, an amazing machinima horror movie made with TF2. Check it out:
It's so fucking pathetic that bigots keep going back to the same "protect the children" bullshit they've been using to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people for decades and decades. If you're gonna be an ignorant hateful asshole, at least try to be original about it.
James Bernard Janisse, Jr. was an amazingly talented bassist who played on stage in Vegas and as a studio musician. When he had kids, he gave up his rockstar dreams to give his family a more stable income. He became a millwright, a job that took a heavy toll on his body.
He sacrificed his health and his happiness to help his family. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been able to live the life I had. I wouldn't have the privilege of living out my dreams today. Thank you for your sacrifice, Dad. I love you and I'll miss you ❤️
Chelsea and I screamed so loud all our friends who were over ran into the room asking what had happened.
They weren't wrestling fans.
They couldn't understand.
Absolute insanity.
And now Scream 7 has lost Landon. I can only reiterate how surreal and disappointing it's been to watch this franchise fall apart thanks to awful decisions by studios.
I guess now is as good a time as any to announce I formally exited Scream 7 weeks ago. This will disappoint some and delight others. It was a dream job that turned into a nightmare. And my heart did break for everyone involved. Everyone. But it’s time to move on. I have nothing
The Culture Wars have ruined film analysis and discussion. I know there are some movies that put ideology first ('19 Black Christmas) but when talking about the themes in Barbarian gets people whining that you're "woke" you can't help but be sad for the state of media literacy.
1 year ago today was the best day of my life. I love you,
@carebecc
. Thank you for being my wife. And thank you to everyone who was able to join us that day. I'll never forget it.
Lol no we're not gonna have a horror-themed wedding. But I am hoping to have a fun-colored suit like a dark red or something. In any case, this is the Twitter announcement of our engagement!
Finally got to meet
@MatthewLillard
& Skeet Ulrich yesterday at
@creepiecon
! They were just as great as everyone always say they are. We found out Matt grew up in Michigan and of course talked way too much about that. Thanks for bein dope, guys.
It was truly an honor to grant a Make-A-Wish and hang out with Carswell and their family last week. They were such a delight to talk to - so bright in every sense of the word. The perseverance and optimism from the entire family was inspirational. Thank you for this experience ❤️
YEAH IT'S CALLED THE KILL COUNT BUT THAT'S NOT REALLY THE POINT OF THE SHOW, BECAUSE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, COUNTING KILLS ISN'T ALL THAT INTERESTING. IT'S MORE ABOUT HOW AND WHY HORROR MOVIES GET MADE AND THE JOKEY RECAPS THAT USUALLY HAVE TOO MANY WRESTLING REFERENCES
There will be lots of wedding posts this week and I won't apologize for them. And since Twitter has a short length limit for videos, you can find the full video of our First Dance on Instagram:
Ohhhh man the number of comments I've seen on the American Psycho Kill Count complaining about it being too "political" or having "gender politics shoved down [their] throat." It is a SAD state of affairs when people are so immature they can't handle a thematic analysis of art.
I've noticed as the years go by that viewers seem less interested in videos about movies they don't know about & more exclusively interested in videos covering the big mainstream hits. Bums me out that there's a lack of curiosity or willingness to have fun with lesser known stuff
Thank you to everyone who's left kind messages of support for us this past week. I see them and they mean a lot to me.
Today's the 6 year anniversary of the first Kill Count coming out. I'm proud of what Dead Meat has become and I know my dad was too ❤️
SAW X fucking ruled. So glad it went back to what makes the series good after the disappointing Spiral & Jigsaw. Tobin Bell putting in his best performance of the franchise at 80 YEARS OLD is incredible. Give us more interquels (used to call them midquels but that sounds bad now)
I don't know *when* it will be as we recover from all the bullshit we've been dealing with lately, but the next Kill Count "series" (both movies) is 28 Days / Weeks Later.
We've spoken to a SAG rep and have a game plan. Because of sponsorship contracts, Kill Counts will proceed as planned throughout the end of August. After that (& starting immediately for the podcast), we won't be covering movies made by AMPTP studios until the strikes have ended.
Google Photos is telling me this is from 13 years ago today, in 2010. It was a "Mad Men" themed party. We were merely friends in the film program at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. We had no idea what the future had in store. Love you hon ❤️
26 years ago today, Scream had its wide release in theaters. It's probably the single most important horror movie to me, as it kickstarted my love of the genre. Therefore, happy to announce that the first Kill Counts in 2023 will be that franchise's RECOUNTS! Followed by Scream 5
Dead Meat fans are the best, we see you and love you! Thanks for always being there for us, whether you just started watching or have been following us since 2017 (or even earlier in the case of our OG Practical Folks fans)! We wouldn't be able to do what we do without you ❤️
Currently on a flight to Michigan, no return ticket booked. Not sure how long we'll be home but obviously this could impact the channel. We've tried to ensure the Scream KCs will be released on time but not sure what's in store for the future. Thank you for your understanding ❤️
#ScreamVI
is an awesome addition to the franchise. Pays loving homage to all the entries that came before it while being something ENTIRELY new for the series. So many kickass action scenes, an incredible opening sequence, and very violent kills. It's good to be a Scream fan.
This isn't a political account, but it doesn't need to be to say that we stand with the people of Ukraine. We know mere words from a silly horror YouTube channel don't matter much, but our hearts go out to everyone affected by this heinous power grab. We hope everyone stays safe.
I'll go ahead and share the Kill Count schedule we have planned now (all with sponsor contracts), up to the point where we don't know anymore:
7/21: Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey
7/28: The Meg
8/4: Scream VI
8/11: Hostel
8/18: Hostel: Part II
8/25: Hostel: Part III
Do you honestly think we'd violate strike guidelines after everything we've done? The vote for strike AUTHORIZATION passed; there is not yet a video game strike as of now. Please try to be properly informed before making an ass of yourself like this.
@deadmeatjames
You like to virtue signal ALOT in your media but you won’t acknowledge the fact that SAG-AFTRA voted to strike against Warner brothers made videos games which includes Mortal Kombat. Average millennial brain
Taking all of my self-restraint to not reply to idiots commenting on the Prey Kill Count who say the movie's "woke". It's amazing how people who whine about "identity politics" or whatever are actually the ones most obsessed with it.
Wishing
@MatPatGT
the best of luck with what must have been an incredibly difficult decision to make. I wish I had a fraction of the business acumen he and
@CordyPatrick
have. I know they'll succeed in whatever they do next.
Absolutely devastated. We had the honor of meeting Paul in 2019. His was the longest line we've ever waited in to meet someone. Pee Wee's Big Adventure is Chelsea's favorite film and a perfect movie. His sense of humor was only matched by his humanity and love. Rest in peace.
Please,

franchise leading into the season 2 premiere of the show. I love the movies. I love the people who made them. Please let me share that love.
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey is a horror retelling of "the famous legend of Winnie the Poo." 💉🍯
This, of course, is not being done by Disney – Winnie entered the public domain in January of 2022.
10 years ago today
@carebecc
and I decided to "officially" start dating. My world has never stopped shining so bright ever since. Happy anniversary to the best partner I could have ever asked for, in every sense of the word. I love you Chelsea ❤️
In all seriousness, I'm going to be very upset if this is the end of Twitter. I've made so many connections on here, many of which have turned into actual friendships. It's been a great way to hear feedback, get noticed, and lend a supportive thought. Love you, horror Twitter <3
The next two Kill Counts are DON'T HUG ME I'M SCARED (9/8) and MORTAL KOMBAT 9 (9/15). They have two of the best "To The Numbers" bits ever.
(yes, we are aware of the potential SAG video game strike. The vote won't be held until 9/25. We are monitoring the situation.)
Also very obvious that a lot of these assholes are upset about Chelsea and her audacity to be a woman on the internet. I can't fucking stand these whiners who feel like they're being attacked the second anyone (especially a woman) brings up a movie's gender or racial themes
In yesterday's video for Scary Movie (recorded in 2020), we referenced a Wiki article about actress Jayne Trcka that said she's transgender. She is not - this was apparently a troll edit that has since been corrected. We apologize for inadvertently spreading this misinformation.
Every time I see a comment like this I want to scream. Movies are more than just blockbusters and superhero fare. There are so many amazing movies coming out every year. We literally just saw two of them back to back today. Watch better movies.
It's now been 5 years since the first Kill Count was released. My life has changed so drastically in that time, literally all for the better. I will never take that for granted, and I will always remember that it's the fans and viewers who have given me this privileged life.
Big (and weird?) announcement: Because of the algorithm, we will soon be starting a "second channel" where all non-Kill Count videos will live. This includes the Podcast, which will be the main show of the new channel. The current Dead Meat channel will ONLY be Kill Counts.
Well that's a nice way to say "welcome back" - reached

on Trending on YouTube! I might be wrong but I think the last time a Kill Count reached the general Trending page was way back with Jaws. Glad people enjoyed this one ❤️
My staff found these stock videos of me and made a still from one of them the background of our editing computer. These must have been filmed in 2014/2015, when I was doing "acting" gigs. The facial hair makes me assume it was during my Littlefinger cosplay days.
I know I shouldn't let it bother me, but it kills me when I see people call me "lazy" for taking a couple of weeks off from Kill Counts or for promoting a new series on the channel. So disappointing when "fans" don't seem to acknowledge the work that goes into video creation.
2022 is definitely going to go down as one of the most stacked years for horror films of all time. So many original films and new additions to longstanding franchises - and so many are great, in completely different ways. We eatin real good.
Congrats to Dead Meat producer Zoran and his lovely new wife Megan for a fantastic wedding! Give him a wedding gift in the form of watching his Kill Count on Dude Bro Party Massacre III, out on Friday! We love you Zorgan!!!

LOVED IT. Such a fun ride from start to finish. Kano was obviously the highlight but honestly every character had me cheering whenever they showed up. Give me all the sequels, Warner Bros. ALL OF THEM!!
#MortalKombat
The hits just keep on coming for 2023. A 24 hour long power outage and our still-down internet have knocked us off schedule, and even worse: Chelsea has COVID. I don't know how I'm gonna handle work + taking care of two pets who still aren't used to each other by myself.
Also, if you like the extra-long Kill Counts, you'll be eating good this month. I think Mortal Kombat X, Danganropa, AND Emesis Blue are all gonna end up being close to 40 minutes.
I wasn't sure about it at first because it's SO CONFUSING, but we're far enough along in production that I feel comfortable announcing it: the Kill Count for Friday 10/27 will be EMESIS BLUE, an amazing machinima horror movie made with TF2. Check it out:
Nothing more obnoxious than commenters who cry at the mere mention of race or gender during film analysis. I'm not "pushing" anything when I talk about the racial implications of fucking Night of the Living Dead. If you're upset I'm bringing it up, that says more about you, chap.
Absolutely in love with how divisive

is. I won't know how I feel about it until I see it again, but it's great to see people having such strong opinions in every direction about this thing. Art shouldn't be homogeneous or lowest common denominator. Fuck things up!

@TeamYouTube
for age-restricting the Day of the Dead Kill Count even though the gore is censored and blurred. Why do I even try to adhere to your arbitrary policies when you apparently only want G- or PG-rated content? Also hey what's YouTube Kids even for then?
I've gotten halfway decent at ignoring negative comments, especially when (as is the case here), the VAST majority of comments are positive and supportive. But I just couldn't help getting upset about people being idiots towards my amazing wife who did a fucking phenomenal job.
I don't even know how to process this. Bray Wyatt was one of the most creative and interesting wrestlers of all time. The Fiend was a major reason why I got back into wrestling in 2019. I can't believe this. The world's been robbed. Rest in peace, Windham.
WWE is saddened to learn that Windham Rotunda, also known as Bray Wyatt, passed away on Thursday, Aug. 24, at age 36.
WWE extends its condolences to Rotunda’s family, friends and fans.
I know this is a strong reaction but I've been having a real shithouse start to my year and Scream VI is one of the things I've been most looking forward to. Maybe I should avoid tweeting in general right now w/ how emotionally worked up I've been. I don't know. Be good people ❤️
Hey
@TeamYouTube
, care to explain why 2 of my videos just got age-restricted despite their previous status as "confirmed by manual review to be suitable for all advertisers"? Does your word mean literally anything or should I just expect to be continually screwed over on a whim?
