Just when you thought the slasher sub-genre couldn’t get any weirder, along comes an unhinged killer right off the page.

Sing for Your Life: Horror-Comedy ‘Bad Karaoke’ Prepares to Slaughter Tubi FrightFest 2026

We’ve all sat through a karaoke cover so agonizing it felt like an actual hate crime. Now, co-directors Chris Lightbody and Robert J. Steinmiller Jr. are taking that universal nightmare and turning it into a literal body count. Making their feature directorial debut, Lightbody and Steinmiller have officially announced the world premiere of Bad Karaoke. It’s a pitch-black horror-comedy where an ambitious young band finds themselves locked in a battle for survival against a murderous, possessed karaoke machine.
