Subtitles are not fully reliable - and the problem with your PC may be the spellcheck and dictionary systems it uses. These are notoriously picky and spelling can depend on who compiled them.
Bloodlust to me is a single word, and I would not expect it as two or even hyphenated; the same for bullhorn.
Both these words used to be two words, then became hyphenated, and then lost their hyphens - that is known as evolution
