The Horror Collective, the genre banner of Shaked Berenson’s (Slaxx, Turbo Kid, Tales of Halloween) Entertainment Squad that is championing independent horror filmmakers, has launched a genre streaming service, appropriately called BloodStream.
BloodStream, available at bloodstreamtv.com and on all major devices and platforms just in time for Halloween, is offering an advertising-supported free tier and a premium ad-free subscription tier, which costs $5.99 per month, or $59.99 a year.
BloodStream kicked off with a content lineup that includes more than 1,500 titles from such genre distributors as Well Go USA, The Asylum — home to cult sensation Sharknado — and MPI Media’s Dark Sky Films, the label behind The House of the Devil, Stake Land, and We Are Still Here, and others.
The streaming service promises a mix of “cult classics, international gems, and fresh discoveries from emerging filmmakers, alongside films championed by The Horror Collective itself.”
Said Berenson: “For years we’ve seen incredible horror films struggle to find their audiences because the mainstream platforms treat the genre as an afterthought. BloodStream is about giving horror the respect it deserves — a place where cult classics, festival discoveries, and global hits can live side by side. We’re combining the creative with the analytical: curating films fans love while building the infrastructure to reach audiences everywhere.”
BloodStream’s programming will be handled by former Entertainment Weekly senior writer Clark Collis, author of Screaming and Conjuring, and Julia Marchese, director of the documentary Out of Print and co-host of the Horror Movie Survival Guide podcast.
Said Collis:“I’ve spent my career celebrating horror and speaking to the fans who keep this genre alive. BloodStream is the kind of platform I always wished existed — one that combines the thrill of discovery with a genuine passion for horror history and culture. I’m excited to help build a space where fans can not only watch the films they love, but also engage with the stories behind them.”
BloodStream said it has also struck technological partnerships, including with Incantor AI “to localize films through advanced subtitling and dubbing, opening up international markets for indie filmmakers whose work rarely receives multilingual distribution.” and
BloodStream’s ambitions aren’t limited to the living room. Beginning in January 2026, the streamer, in a partnership with Look Cinemas, will present select BloodStream titles as special theatrical events “across Look’s network, with access available to BloodStream’s premium tier subscribers.”
Said Shelby Schultz, director of programming at Look: “We’re beyond thrilled to bring BloodStream’s unique brand of horror to our audiences. Their immersive storytelling is the perfect match for the cinema experience, and this partnership marks an exciting new chapter for both brands.”
