Bloodthirsty Hearts

Five high school friends reunite at a fan convention for a fictional franchise called Bloodthirsty Hearts -- and then creatures from that fictional universe actually invade the event. Victoria Moroles, Gus Birney, Sofia Bryant, Sivan Alyra Rose, and Cheyenne Haynes play the core group, with Taran Killam and Naomi Grossman in supporting roles. George V. Ghanem created and wrote the series, produced jointly by Qcode and Tenderfoot TV (the team behind Atlanta Monster and Up and Vanished). Sam Beasley directed, and the blend of nostalgia, fandom humor, and actual supernatural danger gives the show a personality that distinguishes it from straightforward horror. One reviewer compared it to "Vampires meets Stranger Things," which captures the vibe pretty well. Eight main episodes running about 24 to 30 minutes each, with a 4.3-star rating from over 400 reviews. The comedy works because the characters feel like real friends with genuine history, not just archetypes thrown into a scary situation. The production handles the shift from convention comedy to genuine supernatural threat without losing either tone. A fun, relatively light entry in the Qcode catalog that still delivers on the genre elements.
