Will always have love for this channel. Discovered your channel by accident back in 2017 when I was looking up Friday the 13th stuff. This channel has basically been my reliable therapy at the end of this week. As I mentioned before I had a health concern and it got to the point I got depressed and I stepped back from youtube completely content wise. I'm just now catching up on what I missed...like 5 months worth. But before that I was always on the videos the moment it released. Came along way, also James stop being so hard on yourself, there's a humbleness to each era of you in the kill counts. Thanks killing was great cause I feel like that movie broke you enough that you actually loosened up after...noticed that way back. Thank you for everything and too many more successful years in whatever you and the Dead Meat team do! Being 37 as of 2025 38 this February 24th I also love how your references and especially wrestling references are the same time era....gotta love a good attitude era joke....and to Zoran my mom called them Tremors as well! Thank you!

2025-11-14 21:20:02 +0000 UTCI have been following your channel since your first Kill Count. I always thought that your channel was a fun watch during my breaks in between classes or on my breaks. Now I am always having your video open. Ever since you provided how the movies were made, you have inspired me to continue my acting career and my training. You are also the people that I can rely on to provide my comfort content. Thank you for being such good people and reminding us that we are a community that should be enjoying the art that you cover. Congrats on 500 episodes. I am looking forward to seeing what your future brings.

2025-11-04 00:09:52 +0000 UTCThis might get buried, but I just wanted to say you guys do SO so so so much for horror fans, for horror creators and performers, and so many people. You all truly have made an impact in this community and beyond (including my life). Thank you for constantly reminding us to be good people and for encouraging us to love horror in so many different ways. Here's to 500 more! Cannot wait to see what the next few years bring. Love you guys, Some other James :)

2025-10-21 17:38:06 +0000 UTCI'M BACK! I had a unfortunate run in with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma earlier this year which sidelined me and after watching you guys since the start in 2017 I fell off badly to focus on my health...then I find out you are doing your 500th Episode! I had to get back on here! Thank you guys so much for just being my outlet since 2017. The Kill Counts have always been there as my weekly or bi weekly therapy getaway from my real world! Love you guys and keep doing what yall do! We love yall!

2025-10-21 16:52:30 +0000 UTCThis is the closest thing to a Dead Meat documentary we'll ever get, and it has now become my new favorite video (outside of the Royal Rumbles). What I've always loved the most about James is how honest he is with us all. He doesn't treat us like outsiders; we're all a part of the Dead Meat family. This video really showed how much passion everyone involved has for their craft. As someone who has been with the channel since 2019, it's truly inspirational to see how much it has grown. I look forward to whatever the next few years may bring!

2025-10-21 05:54:34 +0000 UTCDear Dead Meat, To make a very long story short (update: I failed) it was 2020, and I was working as a home health&hospice nurse. In 2017 I had developed horrendous PTSD. I was constantly anxious, I was having nightmares and generally was just tense and worried. I was also having a hard time watching horror movies (movies in general honestly, it as a rough time). I really missed being able to connect with stories in the way that I had previously, especially since that connection had always been really healing. But it’s like that creative, joyful side of my brain was just completely shut off. I remember talking to a close friend of many years who also loved horror. She suggested I watch a little show on YouTube called the Kill Count, she was hooked and thought I’d like it too! I started with Final Destination 2, as a proud millennial (1991) I had stayed safe on the roads for many years in part because of this excellently stupid movie. The greatest thing happened. I started laughing! Something literally shifted in my brain, and for the first time in a while I just felt….happy :) it was like sitting with a friend, sharing memories, talking about how awesome horror is, and just finding joy again vs just dissociating, which was such a reprieve in a truly scary moment in the world. I binged all the final destination episodes and then I discovered the PODCAST😍and basically got hooked on the whole channel from there! Anyway, not to get too sappy but y’all are awesome and have had a hugely positive impact on my life! That evening of laughter was really healing and a turning point for me. I’m in a way better place now, I’m finally working on my horror novel again, I also finally have seen ALL the Saw movies, (Hot Saw Summer, including Sawvivor was🤌🏼🤌🏼😭)and I now have the perfect sound bites for mentally mocking PITA doctors😊 Anyway, I still look for alerts from Dead Meat every week, and tune in to the channel to listen while I’m driving to visits. This is such an amazing community y’all have built. I gotta tell you, that last be good people got me🥲❤️

2025-10-20 22:17:47 +0000 UTCLoved this special episode - I'm happy you cover the variety of materials that you do! Love seeing how you continue to grow and evolve. Not everything draws me in, so many surprising things have - Royal Rumble, the awards, and just horror in general. Used to hate gore and slashers, but you've turned me around on the art and science that goes into the kills. Thanks for all you guys do! Congrats on a huge achievement, happy 500th!

2025-10-20 18:56:57 +0000 UTCWatching this was such a walk down memory lane! When I started watching this channel I was in my mid-twenties and just out of grad school, working a job that was killing me, and trying to figure out what the hell I was supposed to be doing as a "grown up". Now I'm a thirty-something with a spouse, child, dog, and in a happy career. Watching this retrospective, I am reminded of all of the wonderful and challenging moments The Dead Meat channel has been with me for and I am so grateful. From the anxiety of moving to a new job to wedding planning, moving houses, losses in my family or trying to manage becoming a new parent, James, Chelsea, and Zoran have been in the background bringing me joy or distraction when I have needed it. I love horror and it has always been a fun fascination but this channel makes it so much more. I can't wait for 500 more Kill Counts and will appreciate every one! Thanks Dead Meat Team!!

2025-10-20 18:47:07 +0000 UTCI think my first Kill Count was Saw and been a subscriber since 2018 and now after 7 years and hearing y'all mention it a million times a Pateron member. Thank you guys for giving this horror junkie so much joy throughout the years.
Jonathan Correa
2025-10-20 02:31:56 +0000 UTCSo watching this I learned 2 things. 1, the first kill count started on my birthday, and 2nd, my first video was Friday Part 1 recount, which I just learned, or at least remembered that Friday was the first kill count
Dustin Ward
2025-10-19 18:10:39 +0000 UTCThis entire video is absolutely endearing. I love you guys at Dead Meat a lot. You got me into horror, used to be super anti-scary movies before the channel to the point i cried and had to get therapy after watching The first Conjuring because I wasnt able to sleep. Not only that you sparked an ongoing fixation with practical effects, multiple recurring horror icons, references and pop culture. As of October 2025, horror movies is about 80% of the media i consume and I am absolutely in love with it. Im in my mid 20s, and I started watching Dead Meat at 21, during one of the most difficult years of my life. I have been with the channel ever since around the Leatherface killcount. I went from being horrified and disguted, to curious but too scared to watch the actual movies, to now tuning in almost every monday to know what movies to look foward to and pestering my gf and friends to get together to watch things unspoiled. Dead Meat has in a way grown alongside me as a person and as a horror fan, I am so proud of everyone on the team. Youre all lovely and incredible people. Cant wait for more!

2025-10-19 16:41:24 +0000 UTCI subscribed back in Aug 2020, but I know I had been watching before that. I was really afraid to like watching horror but every time I watched a new video, it became more apparent this was something I loved too. I finally got the courage this year to purchase Frightmare tickets and I really hope yall are there. Much love❤️

2025-10-18 19:53:08 +0000 UTCI cannot express how happy I am to see this in depth look into the Dead Meat channel, Kill Counts, and the team. I've been watching since 2018 when I got bored and wondered if there was such things as "killcounts" in horror movies. I meet James and his channel. I've been hooked ever since and have felt like the entire Dead Meat community is my heartfelt horror family. Thank you so much for what you do and continue being good people.

2025-10-18 19:33:39 +0000 UTCThis channel brought me to horror back in 2017, I started this channel when I was 8 and now I’m 16 so this channel is probably one of the most important things to me

2025-10-18 19:28:27 +0000 UTCI've been a fan since the beginning and your show has been a huge inspiration to follow my passion of gore practical effects like the ones you cover in the show. I cannot thank you enough

davidicus
2025-10-18 18:28:07 +0000 UTCAlways been a huge horror fan, and I started watching kill counts before I was allowed to actually watch the movies covered. I kinda spoiled some of the Saw movies for myself, but those are fun counts, and I still had a great time watching 3-X for the first time recently. I love when I can finish a movie (or game) and keep enjoying it through its kill count. In fact, getting to watch the Outlast count was my primary motivation to press on and actually finish that terrifying fucking game. I love this genre, and I love this channel. Never stop doing what you love, never stop improving, and never stop being good people (goes for everyone who sees this, too).

Marcus Baxter
2025-10-18 17:14:58 +0000 UTCBeen here since Practical Folks, I remember seeing the annoucment over there about James's new channel and I've been following ever since. Although I've been watching the Kill Count more on and off recentley the Podcast has come to be one of my favourite things on Youtube and hearing how well the Kill Count is doing from there is always so pleasant to hear. I grew up with this channel, I'm turning 22 this year and I remember watching the beginning of Dead Meat when I was still in elementary school so seeing this milestone is such an exciting thing and I truly wish you James and Chelsea the best.

2025-10-18 11:03:54 +0000 UTCJust so you know James, I mostly watch your stuff on Patreon because I can't stand YouTube's constant and unprovoked ad interruptions, but I'm gonna make an effort to watch the stuff that's on YouTube, like the sponsor segments, now that I know how much work you put into them. Never thought I'd feel bad about not wanting to be sold something. But I might've used one of you RayCon promos in the past, and they are pretty good. Keep doing what you love doing, and I'll keep supporting you and being good people.

2025-10-18 05:36:45 +0000 UTCI am one of those who did not like the horror genre most of my life. I think my first episode was The Belko Experiment. There are still horror movies I wont watch, but I have definitely grown affection for these movies. I love the style and humor and just everything you guys have done. I always love embracing change and growth in channels. As long as you guys keep making videos, I will be there watching the day they come out. Be Good People!!

Thanks so much for everything you do. You're good people:)

Will Pitcher
2025-10-18 00:50:08 +0000 UTCBeen keeping up with Dead Meat since 2018, and this was such a nostalgic episode. This team has continued to grow and show nothing but love for the genre, which I’m sure has had a butterfly effect on the genre becoming more mainstream and recognized by the academy. So much love to James and the whole team, keep it up and can’t wait to see everyone at Saw Con. 💕

Liam Orchard
2025-10-18 00:23:23 +0000 UTCI started watching Dead Meat back in 2018. I wanted to know how many people Jason killed across his franchise. So I typed "number of kills in the Friday the 13th series" and the rest is history. I didn't get into horror because of Dead Meat, but I did get into Dead Meat because I love horror. Also, shout out to James for introducing me to the SpookyRice channel. I just wish he didn't ignore me on the Monday streams, but as many people are commenting during them, I get it.
Jermania
2025-10-18 00:02:12 +0000 UTCAbsolutely awesome count. James, Chelsea, Zoran and the rest of the love your work and passion. Thanks for the 500 and hopefully more than another 500.
MalcadortheSigilite
2025-10-18 00:00:47 +0000 UTCJames mentioned in this that the kill count debuted around the release of the Friday the 13th video game which helped with the views and drew eyes to the kill count. So i wanted to tell a little story about my history with the kill count. So i started watching around 2021, I was just sitting at home and randomly started thinking of the Friday the 13th movies. I was mostly thinking of the kills. Friday the 13th is the franchise that turned me into a horror fan. With friday the 13th part 6 being the first horror movie i ever watched at age 8. Well somtime in 2021 i wanted to see if anyone on youtube has done an updated ranking of jason's kills. So i looked up friday the 13th kill rankings and was greeted with the friday the 13th part 6 recount. I was curious and watched it and have been a fan pf the channel ever since. I have kept up with just about everything, always trying to support when I can. As a long time horror fan and an actor who hopes to one day be in a movie featured in the kill count, i can say without a doubt that this channel is a must for anyone who loves horror. It has helped me out through some tough times in recent years and turned me on to movies i wish i knew about sooner. One last thing, i know James probably won't see this but i wanted to make a case that there is reason to cover Freddy vs Jason one last time. Say you do recounts for the elm street franchise, and when you reach FvJ there has been new info since the last time it was covered. In the last recount, there's mention of rey mysterio doing stunt work as freddy, but in a recent interview. Rey mysterio has confimed he did not in fact do any stunt work for the film. But thank you james and everyone for all the hardwork over the years.

Derek Martz
2025-10-17 23:32:20 +0000 UTCExactly my thoughts! YT should get on bended knee to Dead Meat for bringing them value, not jerking them around like this, it's not right. I don't know why this show keeps me sane but it does.

I love horror BECAUSE of the obscure and weird ideas, so the "weird era" was a delight to me. Now we have video game kill counts which are just as enjoyable as the mainstream. I love you guys and look forward to more from you guys!

2025-10-17 23:18:38 +0000 UTCY'all've been through so much. Really upset that YouTube screws you so much. I'm not a huge horror fan (I squick easily and am not a fan of being spooked) but I am so curious about the story depicted or how the team made the film and Dead Meat's been a wonderful way for me to experience films I might not otherwise see and in a few cases has been enough impetus to see one or two films

2025-10-17 23:16:56 +0000 UTCI had never really thought of myself as a horror fan, until i had found the kill count, it was an easy way to experience horror without the commitment of scaring myself, and i thought it was a really interesting concept, i'm happy to say i've watched the kill count religiously since the saw kill counts, i'm extremely grateful for the work you all put into the kill counts to entertain every week, Thank you Dead Meat.

2025-10-17 23:16:49 +0000 UTCI think one of my favourite new(ish) running gags is how they change Billy’s wardrobe in the background. It’s just fucking delightful. Thanks to Dead Meat, I had my love of horror movies reignited. I really can’t thank you guys enough for giving me something to hyperfocus on while I knit. (Hot Saw Summer 2026, baby!)

2025-10-17 23:14:11 +0000 UTCDead meat came around just as I was pushing myself to try watching horror movies. Your whole team is a big part of why I fell in love with the genre you all should be incredibly proud. From the 12year old that couldn’t read goosebumps books because they were too scary (but was really interested in them and read them anyway) to the high schooler who had nightmares from final destination. Saw is now my hyper fixation and you made my dreams I didn’t even know I had come true releasing hot saw summer the same week as my birthday.

2025-10-17 22:59:45 +0000 UTCThis has made me want to rewatch all 500 Kill Counts. . . also just reminded me how much I love this channel and how grateful I am that it exists - who would've thought counting kills in horror films would be so comforting

2025-10-17 22:38:54 +0000 UTCI remember when you did Friday the 13 in the beginning I'm happy to be here on this journey with you and the team. I cried so many times watching this episode.

2025-10-17 20:45:58 +0000 UTCMassive issues with quality and reliability starting very shorty after the sponsorship. Essentially in 2019 it dived hard off a cliff, declared bankruptcy, and has been a shell of it's former self ever since. Tons of people dont get what they paid for, and the people who do get it aren't happy with what they get.

2025-10-17 20:40:56 +0000 UTCHope you'll do ANOTHER Kill Count on the Kill Count for Episode 1000.
Sam Konkel
2025-10-17 20:36:25 +0000 UTCWow, this was a very enlightening video. I started watching your videos when you weren't even done with the Friday the 13th kill counts and I was just 14. Like many others I discovered you because of the game. I actually got into horror movies because of this channel. I watched consistently for a couple years and more on and off for a few more. I regrettably stopped watching when James left the show temporarily. I now see that I have missed out on so much incredible creative content. I recently started watching you again because I am showing classic horror movies to my wife. And what better to cap off a movie watching experience than to watch a kill count. I am actually only halfway through the video I am writing this while my wife is in the restroom :3.

2025-10-17 20:29:54 +0000 UTCI have a soft spot for the 2021 videos, especially the Friday the 13th recounts. I got married on Friday, August 13th 2021, and I watched the first recount as I was getting ready, so that video has a very special place in my heart.
Aleece Eliza
2025-10-17 20:15:20 +0000 UTCWow! I’ve been watching since essentially from the beginning!! It’s so amazing to see how much you guys have grown over the years, and I see major things coming in the future!! Especially see the Dead Meat Horror awards becoming the Oscar’s for Horror films!!!

2025-10-17 19:21:46 +0000 UTCI just realized that I’ve been watching this show for 7 years now! I remember starting to watch it because It Chapter Two was coming out the following year and my brother and uncle wanted me to go see it with them. I was terrified of anything horror or horror adjacent at the time, but I really wanted to go with them. So I looked up info on the 2017 IT and found this channel. It was so cool to see a different side of the horror genre, and for the first time. I understood why people liked these movies. My love of horror has since grown and I give all the credit in the world to this channel. I even got my dad hooked for a while. Sadly, I stopped watching as regularly about a year or two ago when I started college, but since this past summer, I’ve started watching again. And after thinking it over for years, I finally decided to join the Patreon, mainly cause I wanted to see the Mummy remake kill count so badly (side note: thank you for introducing me to the amazing talent that is Brendan Fraser!) Sorry for talking about myself so much. I just wanted to share the journey you and the whole dead meat crew have taken me on. Yinz are actually a bigger part of my life than I realized, and I can’t thank you enough. This channel has opened up a whole new world for me that’s led me to try new things and meet new people who love the genre and even this show. So thank you. I can’t wait to see whatever is next for everyone at Dead Meat. Yinz are good people!
Spencer Liberto
2025-10-17 19:18:50 +0000 UTCYou brought up the whole thing about using the Kill Count as an alternative to watching movies, but I must say I appreciate what you do with this show as a blind viewer. There's a lot of old horror movies that have never gotten and probably never will get audio descriptions, so while I always try to watch new movies I'm interested in before you cover them, I've absolutely used the Kill Count as a substitute for movies that I couldn't regularly enjoy to the fullest. Hearing the sounds of a kill in a movie without audio descriptions doesn't hit as well as hearing a description of that kill in its full context. So like I'd watch the Kill Count first, then if the movie interested me I'd go watch it afterwards knowing what was going on. You've gotten me into a lot of movies I'd never regularly enjoy and I can't thank you enough for that.

2025-10-17 19:05:46 +0000 UTCIt's really sweet to see a review of the whole show's growth and changes 🥲 I started watching in 2020 and it became a weekly schedule to tube in every Friday after school. Also very cute to see how much James values his team and LOVES Chelsea, adorbs

I watch the Kill Counts within hours of them posting. This is one of the highlights of my week and has been for a few years. It's been so long I can't even remember when I discovered this channel but it is my favorite one.

Fernando s
2025-10-17 18:16:06 +0000 UTCI found this channel by accident when YouTube recommended the You're Next kill count. I know James said in the episode that he loves hearing that people fell in love with horror thanks to the channel, but that wasn't the case for me. I've always loved horror. Maybe that's the reason for being the only YouTube channel I watch regularly, and the only one that's ever made me feel like part of a community. Either way, its rad to have this channel that shares my love of movies and horror, and its even more rad to see 500 episodes. Wherever this channel goes, I'll be watching.
MrSlipperyNoodle
2025-10-17 18:14:29 +0000 UTCHere’s to another 8 years of glorious kills to count congratulations James and everyone involved with Dead Meat!!
Bones
2025-10-17 18:10:25 +0000 UTCYou guys built my love for horror. I didn’t find you until after your scream 5 cameo, but I’d only been a fan of the basics of the genre for a year and a half by that point. Thank you for everything you guys do for the genre!

2025-10-17 17:44:33 +0000 UTCAmazing 500th kill count! I don't know if I'd be nearly as in love with horror without dead meat. Thank you guys so much for everything.
Sebastian Gould
2025-10-17 17:42:18 +0000 UTCI started watching Dead Meat in 2019, that was when I really got into horror. This channel has been a huge part of my life over the last 6 years, congrats on 500 DM. Here’s to 500 more.

2025-10-17 17:25:56 +0000 UTCThe Kill Counts shows me what movies I might want to watch. I can name probably dozens of movies I never would have watched if it wasn't for The Kill Count showing me how good they were. I literally have a backlog.

Caden Conner
2025-10-17 16:10:28 +0000 UTCThis was awesome. I'm always sad to hear about the decline in viewership, especially because I fully agree with you, you content over the past 2 years has been the best you've ever put out. The VHS arc is maybe the greatest thing you've ever done (Horror Awards excluded because duh). I'm glad that Dead Meat is still sustainable and that you're still having fun with it and finding new ways to be creative with it.
Zernek
2025-10-17 16:05:26 +0000 UTCI have gained a new appreciation for so many incredible movies thanks to you! I'm so lucky to be around for this milestone! The benefit of finding you later is all the backlog I get to explore. Here's to 500 more!

2025-10-17 16:03:56 +0000 UTCThis episode is very important to me I've been watching since December 2017 and when I was 14 it's been with me throughout so much hardships this show inspired me to pursue a career in film making thank you so much to James and everyone that makes these videos possible you're all very appreciated

2025-10-17 15:35:17 +0000 UTCHappy 500 guys. Dead meat and the kill count has meant a lot to me over the years and provided so much comfort in times when I needed it most. Here's to the next 500!
Ryan Ryanson
2025-10-17 15:10:38 +0000 UTCThis was so kool. Admittedly I haven’t watched all the kill counts. But that’s because I just started following dead meat at the beginning of the year and it’s hard to find time to watch 500 kill counts. But I still listen and watch the podcast and have enjoyed the audio commentaries you guys have done. And I know I’ve said this before but dead meat really helped me when my mom went in and out of the hospital 3 different times this summer. I loved horror movies before I found dead meat , but you guys have introduced me to some fun ones I never would have found on my own, and you guys reignited my love for saw during hot saw summer, keep up the good work and I wholeheartedly appreciate everything you and your team does. Stay good people guys!

2025-10-17 14:21:33 +0000 UTCDead Meat is a channel that means the world to me. When I discovered it, I was immediately hooked and have been a regular viewer and rewatcher ever since. I watch at least 1 kill count or video every day. They make me smile and I and beyond thrilled with the Dead Meat teams success. Cheers! Here is to many more years, but not for this bastard skellys. (A phrase i use in my every day life.) Thank you Dead Neat for all you do.

2025-10-17 14:17:45 +0000 UTCThis is awesome. Congratulations to the DM crew on 500 episodes!! On a side note, my 18 year old son has walked around for the past few years quoting J.A.J. so much, that my youngest children picked up on it. Now at least once a day, someone in my house is yelling out "DINO-SAWH"! 😆
Anesha Berry
2025-10-17 14:09:46 +0000 UTCThe movie trivia you include makes the show what it is, literally so much more than just counting kills. Congrats on this huge milestones. You got me to watch amazing horror movies like Sinners and Weapons, I used to be too scared of getting scared to give them a chance! I don’t care if the views are bad, you're one of the BEST shows on YouTube!
