The Paranormal Activity franchise is gearing up for a brand new installment from Paramount and Blumhouse, with James Wan coming on board to produce the film alongside Jason Blum and franchise creator/original director Oren Peli.

Ian Tuason (Undertone) will direct the eighth installment in the Paranormal Activity film franchise, and we’ve learned tonight that it will release in theaters May 21, 2027.

A24 recently acquired Ian Tuason’s Undertone for release. It’s coming this March.

In Undertone, “Paranormal podcast host Evy moves into her dying mother’s house to be her primary caregiver. When she receives audio recordings of a young pregnant couple experiencing supernatural noises, she realizes the woman’s story mirrors her own. Each new recording scratches at her sanity, drawing her into a fate she cannot escape.”

Stay tuned for much more on Paranormal Activity 8 as we learn it.

“I’ve been a huge admirer of Paranormal Activity since the brilliant first movie, with its creeping slow burn and subtle ability to make the unseen terrifying. I’m looking forward to expanding on its legacy and helping shape the next evolution of this scary found-footage franchise,” James Wan told THR when the news recently broke about his involvement.

Mike Flanagan is bringing The Exorcist back to the big screen with a brand new take, and the film has been dated for theatrical release by Universal Pictures tonight.

Mike Flanagan’s The Exorcist will release in theaters March 12, 2027.

Scarlett Johansson and Jacobi Jupe are leading the new movie’s cast.

Flanagan — the horror master behind “The Haunting of Hill House,” “Midnight Mass,“ and Doctor Sleep — is writing & directing the all-new story set in The Exorcist universe.

Plot details remain under wraps at this time, but we know that the upcoming film is not a remake of the 1973 horror classic or a sequel to 2023’s The Exorcist: Believer.

Flanagan is producing via his Red Room Pictures banner alongside Jason Blum for Blumhouse-Atomic Monster and David Robinson for Morgan Creek Entertainment.

“This is an opportunity to do something that I believe has never been done within the franchise — something that honors what came before it but isn’t built on nostalgia,“ Flanagan previously said of the project. “I really just saw an opportunity to make the scariest movie I’ve ever made. I know expectations are high. No one’s more intimidated than I am.”

Thanksgiving 2 was officially announced just two weeks after the first film opened in 2023, with TriStar aiming to have it in theaters in time for the eponymous holiday in 2025.

However, the sequel has still yet to enter production due to scheduling issues — including Addison Rae‘s touring commitments and Milo Manheim having just signed to star in the live-action remake of Tangled.

Nevertheless, Eli Roth is confident John Carver will return when the time is right.

“Everybody wants to do it. I’m gonna have it locked and loaded, and we’ll find a time when we’re all available,” Roth told Variety. “We’ll just go back for a few weeks and have fun.”

Roth will return to direct the sequel from a script he co-wrote with Jeff Rendell.

Nell Verlaque and Rick Hoffman are also expected to reprise their roles alongside Rae and Manheim.

“We’re upping the ante but we are not going to do it with more money,” Roth previously teased of the sequel. “I want it to be a challenge to pull off. Because if I’ve come up with the stuff that I think will make the best kills, then I’m going to do it like I’m never going to make another movie again.”

In Thanksgiving, after a Black Friday riot ends in tragedy, a mysterious Thanksgiving-inspired killer terrorizes Plymouth, Massachusetts – the birthplace of the holiday. What begins as random revenge killings are soon revealed to be part of a larger, sinister plan.

While we wait for Thanksgiving 2, Roth is staying busy with his Horror Section Studios projects, including Ice Cream Man and Don’t Go in That House, Bitch! He’s also developing a “Hostel” TV series for Peacock.

Snoop Dogg is going from the dogg house to a haunted house.

Announced back in September, Eli Roth and Snoop Dogg are turning their faux trailer Don’t Go in That House, Bitch! into a feature.

While Snoop was already on board to produce, Roth tells Variety that the hip-hop icon will also star in the horror comedy.

“He’s been wanting to do Death Row Films for a long time,” said Roth. “I said we need to make the ultimate haunted house movie, like the craziest one, something that mixes House, House by the Cemetery, Hausu, and Friday, the 13th, like something so insane people can’t believe it exists. And we have to call it Don’t Go in That House, Bitch!

“And he’s going to star in it.”

Roth continued, “People keep going in the house. People don’t listen. What are you doing, bitch? Don’t go in that house. People just keep going in. Like, what are you doing? You’re not going to come out of there. Don’t do it. Turn around. Leave! It’s basically everything that we yell at the screen during horror movies. You put those as characters in the movie like a Greek chorus.”

Roth said he just completed script over the holidays. Shooting expected to kick off in June with his Horror Section Studios producing.

“We’re budgeting now,” Roth noted. “I’m going to apply for the California tax credit. If I get the tax credit, I want to shoot it in Los Angeles so we can have all L.A. people on it.”

Snoop also is contributing music to Roth’s next film, Ice Cream Man. He wrote a song that the filmmaker hopes to use during the end credits, in addition to composing part of the score.

“He sent me some score — not hip-hop, but actual score. I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is incredible,’” Roth said. “So we have a whole section of the movie that’s completely scored by Snoop.”

Roth and Snoop first collaborated on the rapper’s 2012 “La La La” music video, which Roth directed.

Snoop Dogg’s previously genre roles include Day Shift, Bones, Hood of Horror, Meet the Blacks, and Scary Movie 5.
