Bloody Disgusting is an American horror genre-focused website covering horror films, television, video games, comics, and music. It is also known for producing 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]
