That’s a wrap on the 2025 FANGORIA Chainsaw Awards, folks! Choosing the best in horror in a year that was filled to the brim with incredible horror movies was no easy feat, but you answered the call and made your voices heard. We placed the fate of horror favorites in your hands, and you ensured Ryan Coogler\u2019s Sinners was the big winner of the evening, and reclaimed well-deserved awards season glory for Demi Moore\u2019s performance in The Substance. Vampires ruled the night, but who won the coveted write-in category for Best Kill? Our cosmically cool hosts, Barbara Crampton and Josh Ruben, led us through a whirlwind year of our horror favorites.<\/p>\n

Here is a complete list of our 2025 Chainsaw Awards winners, taking home the prized statue. Thank you for voting and for tuning in to join us in space; we’ll see you next year! (Next year for the awards show, but hopefully daily right here on the FANGORIA site, and quarterly in your mailboxes and newsstand shelves!) Missed the live show? Don’t worry, you can still catch the 2025 FANGORIA Chainsaw Awards on Shudder.<\/p>\n
