1Horror Guru, also known as Josh Langland, is a movie {{review}}er formerly with Website/ChannelAwesome. He also has his own page called Blood Splattered Cinema. He often has crossovers with Creator/CountJackula and the two also often host livestreams together.

3Horror Guru most often reviews horror movies. The bloodier the better. He's also done some Blood Spatter Adaptations where he compares horror movies to the books that inspire them. These follow a different format than WebVideo/TheDomReviews Lost In Adaptation with Guru reading out sections of the books when comparing them to certain scenes. They are equally enjoyable though for those who ever loved a book and wished the movie adaptation was a little more -- faithful.

8* CatchPhrase "Greetings, Gorehounds!"
9* CostumeTropes Guru is most often seen in a red and black plaid "lumberjack" shirt.
10* CreativeClosingCredits Until recently the Guru's closing credits would include a close up of an Ozzy Osbourne with Ozzy screaming "All aboard!" (Which until recently the submitter of this thought Ozzy was saying "EYEBROWS!" Until Guru informed her otherwise.) Recent changes on Website/YouTube have caused this ending to be cut off. Before the closing credits music the Guru announces that the videos are "Brought to you by a generous donation from The Center For Unease Control."
11* {{Crossover}}: Does this often with Creator/CountJackula. {{Justified|Trope}} since the two of them are roommates.
12* IncrediblyLamePun Guru is the master of puns. So much so that people have called him "Carlos" after the ''Literature/TheMagicSchoolBus'' character.
13* SharedUniverse: Due to multiple cameos, a small number of crossovers, and eventually joining Channel Awesome, his show absolutely counts as part of the Reviewaverse.
14* WorldOfWeirdness: The Reviewaverse is this. Considering that Guru is best friends with an alien vampire, it makes sense.
