If you missed watching this year’s Chainsaw Awards live on Shudder on Sunday night, or you don’t have a subscription to catch up on the biggest night in horror, we have great news! As of right this instant, the entire awards ceremony is now available to watch in full on FANGORIA’s YouTube channel, so you can watch it for the first time or relive some of your favorite moments over and over again.
This year’s ceremony blasted FANGORIA to the farthest reaches of space, celebrating the best in horror from all across the universe (and film and television too). Featuring presenters like Ryan Coogler, Dee Snider, Shannon Purser, Ernest Dickerson, Bill Moseley, GWAR, and more, the 2025 edition of the awards honored not only the best new releases from the last year, but also the anniversaries of movies like Jaws and Re-Animator (starring co-host Barbara Crampton!), horror’s love affair with space, and the role of the horror host in the genre’s history.
Films nominated this year included Sinners (which took home a number of awards), The Ugly Stepsister, The Substance, Longlegs, and Nosferatu, with shows like The Last Drive-In With Joe Bob Briggs and The Last of Us also sneaking their way onto the list. But don’t worry, the Chainsaw Awards are dedicated to celebrating smaller films too, nominating projects like Azrael and Oddity for several awards. You can check out the full list of winners here — no spoilers from me!
Hosted by Crampton and Heart Eyes director Josh Ruben, the awards also celebrated cinematographer Ksusha Genefeld and archivist Curtis RX with this year’s Editor’s Eyeball Awards, which celebrated underseen heroes in horror cinema, as presented by our own Editor in Chief, Phil Nobile Jr.
The 2025 Chainsaw Awards ceremony is now available to watch on YouTube. Check out the entire thing down below:
