‘Dead Meat’ Horror Awards Set Ticketed Live-Stream Event in Addition to YouTube Broadcast for 2026 Show (EXCLUSIVE)

The "Dead Meat" horror awards show will feature a ticketed live-stream event for the first time in 2026, in addition to its usual YouTube broadcast. This expansion was announced by creators James Janisse and Chelsea Rebecca, the husband-and-wife team behind the "Dead Meat" YouTube channel. The 5th Annual Dead Meat Horror Awards, which are pre-taped, are scheduled to premiere on YouTube on July 18, 2026. The live-stream ticket holders will gain access to the event simultaneously with its YouTube debut. This move aims to offer a more exclusive experience for dedicated fans and potentially generate additional revenue for the popular horror-focused content creators. The "Dead Meat" channel has cultivated a significant following by covering horror films and franchises, and the annual awards show has become a notable event within the horror community. The addition of a paid live stream suggests a strategic effort to diversify their content delivery and engagement methods beyond free public access platforms.
