Bloody Disgusting is an American production studio, which started out as a horror genre-focused news site/website that covered all horror media including: film, television, video games, comics, and music. The company evolved into a film studio with the V/H/S series of anthology horror films.

History

Bloody Disgusting was founded in 2001 by Brad Miska (under the pseudonym "Mr. Disgusting") and Tom Owen,[1] who run the site along with current managing editor John Squires. By 2007, the site had 1.5 million unique visitors and 20 million page views each month.[2] In September 2007 a minority stake was purchased by The Collective, a Beverly Hills–based management company.[3] In 2011 Bloody Disgusting began distributing and producing films[4] that have gone on to win awards and spawned the successful V/H/S franchise. In 2017 Bloody Disgusting bought out The Collective and is currently operating as an independently owned company. [citation needed]
