Oiyu Media

Oiyu Media is a Canadian-American production company that specializes in horror and thriller programming. It launched Tetragon alongside Deadpan Productions, EnSkulled Entertainment, and Playing With Fire Productions. Almost half of the works are either inspired by current events or urban legends. They also produce films, mostly based on foreign properties. From 1999 to 2010, they co-owned a channel with Sony Television, titled Horror Movie Channel.

In 2020, the Verses production team split off from Oiyu to set up their own animation team based in Atlanta. Also in 2020, it was announced that they bought the Chiller brand from NBCUniversal to relaunch the horror channel themselves. The relaunched channel will launch sometime in the fall of 2020. This was later delayed to the summer of 2021 due to delays with production.
