Following his upcoming Resident Evil movie, Zach Cregger (Barbarian, Weapons) will be directing the sci-fi horror movie The Flood for Warner Bros., and the filmmaker revealed new details about the project to Deadline.
New Line/Warner Bros. will release The Flood in theaters August 11, 2028, with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment producing.
It was Spielberg’s involvement that fueled Cregger’s drive to come up with the idea behind The Flood in a matter of days.
He tells Deadline, “I was watching this movie, and somebody in the movie I was watching was entering an abandoned spaceship. And my wife was like, ‘There’s nothing scarier than being trapped in space.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, that’s interesting. Maybe there’s something here.’ And then this character goes into the ship and they find something that was pretty weird and scared them.
“I was thinking, ‘What would be weirder and scarier than that? What could happen in this scenario that would freak me out more than this?’ And it’s never happened to me before, but in a flash, I had the whole movie explode in front of my eyes.’”
While it’s not clear whether The Flood will be set in space, it is confirmation that his characters will likely be trapped in a harrowing sci-fi scenario.
Plot details beyond that remain scarce, but Cregger did warn in his recent Reddit AMA not to expect full-blown horror compared to his previous films: “Flood is not quite as horror central as the other movies (altho it might be the most unsettling) and it does have horror moments and aspects.”
One Cregger signature will continue, though: his unique approach to narrative structure. He told Deadline that The Flood “is another movie that is structurally bizarre. Like Barbarian and Weapons, it doesn’t jump perspective, but it structurally is, I think, dexterous.”
It’s the first week of September and the Halloween season is officially underway as we head into the long Labor Day Weekend. Looking for a handful of fresh new horror movies to keep you company during the holiday weekend? We’ve got you covered with EIGHT brand new ones!
Here are the new horror movies that released August 31 – September 6, 2026.
Evil Dead Rise breakout Alyssa Sutherland taps into her dark side once again in the psychological creature horror movie The Room Below, which is now available on Digital at home.
“Haunted by the loss of her son, a mother sees a second chance in a boy who enters her life at the perfect moment. But as the creature hidden within her home grows more dangerous and difficult to control, a retired detective investigating a missing child begins unraveling a web of secrets that leads straight to her door, forcing a deadly confrontation with the truth.”
Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Dracula, Velvet Goldmine), Bobby Gilchrist (Shapeless, The Invisible Raptor), and Gilbert Bradman (Transfusion, The Twelve) also star.
Kurt Martin (Moon Rock for Monday) wrote and directed The Room Below.
Throwback slasher Deathwoodsis now available on Digital and streaming only on Screambox.
Decades after a gruesome murder-suicide involving the Wallace family gave rise to disturbing local legends, the forest remains haunted by stories of a grotesque figure lurking deep within the trees. In the present day, Scott’s friends Kyle and Jessica plan a weekend camping trip to help him recover from a painful breakup by introducing him to Jessica’s friend Michelle.
What begins as an attempt to reconnect and escape everyday life soon spirals into terror as the group realizes the legend haunting the woods may be real. As paranoia, isolation, and violence escalate, the friends are forced into a desperate struggle to survive the horrors hidden within Deathwoods.
Jake Kopronica and Deryk Wehrley co-directed Deathwoods.
The cast includes Anthony Dain, KateLynn E. Newberry, MacKenzie Lee, Kellan Jackson, with Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp, Terrifier 2) and Miles Dimitri Baker.
The Fall franchise heads to a new location with new characters in brand new sequel Fall 2: Deadpoint, which opened in theaters nationwide this past Wednesday night.
Harriet Slater (Tarot) stars in Fall 2: Deadpoint alongside Arsema Thomas (“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”) and Tom Brittney (Greyhound).
Michael & Peter Spierig (Predestination, Jigsaw) direct Fall 2: Deadpoint from a script by Fall writers Scott Mann (who also directed the original) and Jonathan Frank.
From the survival hit that tapped into the fear of heights and left friends stranded at the top of a tower comes a climb that goes higher, gets deadlier, and hits with next-level adrenaline.
In Fall 2: Deadpoint, “After losing her fearless sister Hunter, a deeply damaged Jax sets out on a dangerous climb with Hunter’s old friend to honor her memory. As they tightrope walk the perilous planks of Mount Kwan, a terrifying rockslide leaves them stranded 5,000 feet above ground. In the face of vertigo-inducing sequences, dark truths, and cruel twists, Jax must confront her deepest fears head-on to fight for survival and closure.”
Something inhuman breaks free from the dark depths of a coal mine in Dark Hollow. The Appalachian creature feature is now available on Digital from Brainstorm Media.
Written and Directed by Daniel Byers (Eradication), Dark Hollow sees a nightmarish monster emerge from the depths of an Appalachian coal mine.
A young mother must hunt down the creature to protect her home and save her family.
June Shreiner, David Garelik, J. Stephen Brantley, Brennon Weese, Ian Deighan, Jonathan Spivey, Sean Michael Wilkinson, Sharon Murray, Harvey Roberts, Brian O’Neill, Annie Cook, and Radu Spinghel star in Dark Hollow.
Adam Wingard (You’re Next, The Guest) heads back into the world of The Guest for A24‘s Onslaught, and the action-horror movie is now playing in theaters nationwide.
Wingard explains, “I look at this as a cap in the trilogy between The Guest and You’re Next. It’s not like a direct sequel, in the sense that it’s a continuation of those characters, but it takes place in the same town as The Guest. The idea is that the secret programs we’re seeing going on here are other little aspects of the same thing David’s character came from in The Guest.”
“So you could actually technically call this a sequel,” Wingard admits. “It’s in the same universe.”
The duo behind The Guest, director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett, re-teamed for Onslaught, which stars Adria Arjona in the leading role.
Here’s the synopsis: “When a rogue squad of genetically engineered super soldiers break loose in the desert, a badass Army sniper must unleash hell to protect her young daughter.”
Rebecca Hall (The Night House, Godzilla x Kong) and Dan Stevens (The Guest) also star in Adam Wingard’s new movie Onslaught alongside Michael Biehn, Reginald VelJohnson, Eric Wareheim, Drew Starkey, and Alex “Poatan” Pereira.
Horror icons unite in the fairytale-inspired horror movie Ever After, with Kane Hodder as the Big Bad Wolf, Michael Berryman as The Huntsman, Malcolm McDowell as the Frog King, and Bonnie Aarons as The Witch. The film is now playing in select theaters.
In Ever After, “When a group of girlfriends head to a remote forest lodge for a bachelorette party, the fun quickly turns into terror as they discover the forest is home to bloodthirsty lunatics who perceive themselves to be characters from classic fairy tales. As the lines between fantasy and reality blur, survival becomes the girls’ only goal.”
The characters featured in this one include twisted versions of the Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, the Big Bad Wolf, The Witch, the Frog King, and even Rumpelstiltskin.
“As the celebration turns into terror, the women realize they’ve wandered into a ritual older than the forest itself. Trapped, hunted, and outnumbered, they must survive a night where innocence is mocked, fantasy becomes brutality, and fairy tales are enforced with blood.”
Mark Sheppard, Lydia Pearl Pentz, Rebecka Johnston, Riana Emma Balla, Miklós B. Székely, and Maria de Sá also star in the film. Laszlo Illes directed Ever After.
Night terrors spill over into the waking world in the supernatural chiller Parasomnia. The horror movie from director James Ross II made its debut on Shudder beginning today.
Parasomnia follows “Riley, a young woman tormented by night terrors and a past of unresolved tragedy. When her best friend is the latest to go missing, she begins to suspect the demonic figure lurking in her sleep has crossed over into the real world.” Jasmine Mathews, RJ Brown, Sally Stewart, Stephen Barrington, Danny Brown, and Simon Longnight star.
If the film’s tagline, “Don’t Fall Asleep,” wasn’t already an indicator, Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street inspired director James Ross II for his feature debut.
The filmmaker said in a statement, “Parasomnia contains the DNA of many genre pieces influential to my development as a filmmaker. One thing I’ve wanted to explore involved drawing attention to some of life’s more mundane and involuntary aspects and making them scary, like sleeping. When Wes Craven made A Nightmare on Elm Street, he brought forth an untapped goldmine of fear that resonates decades later due to the foundation of its scares being built on universal human experience – nightmares.
“I’d like to bring a fresh perspective on the frightening aspects of sleep and take the audience on an immersive experience that will stay in their mind long after the credits roll.”
Mockingbird Pictures brings the Vietnamese found footage horror movie Lầu Chú Hoả: The Deadliest Mansion to select theaters in the United States beginning today.
The film is playing in AMC, Regal and Cinemark theaters. Check local listings.
The story pulls from a well-known Vietnamese urban legend: a band of young streamers force their way into the notoriously haunted Hứa family estate, hoping the stunt will bring them fame and money. Instead their broadcast captures a dormant, malevolent force stirring back to life, pulling them into the century-old tale of the “Ghost of the Hứa Family.”
Hùng Trần directed the found footage horror movie.
“Found footage has the power to make audiences feel as though they are experiencing the horror themselves,” producer Lee Jin Sung said in a statement shared by Variety this week. “Working with Hive Media Corp allowed us to bring that experience to a uniquely Vietnamese legend while preserving the identity and atmosphere that make the story distinctive.”
“Lầu Chú Hoả: The Deadliest Mansion delivers one of the most intense Vietnamese horror experiences in recent years,” said Mockingbird’s Phong Duong. “We believe this is a film that can travel, and we want audiences around the world to experience that fear for themselves.”
In celebration of today’s Early Access release of Halloween: The Game (read our review), the original three Halloween movies return to Regal theaters beginning tonight, September 4.
For starters, John Carpenter’s original slasher classic is being re-released into 294 Regal theaters nationwide tonight, spanning 39 states and 91 markets. Here’s the full weekend lineup…
Halloween(1978) — September 4
Halloween II(1981) — September 5
Halloween III: Season of the Witch — September 6
In the original classic, Michael Myers has spent the last 15 years locked away inside a sanitarium under the care of child psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis after brutally killing his sister, Judith. On the night of October 30, 1978, Myers escapes and makes his way back to Haddonfield — the night HE came home — turning a night of tricks and treats into something much more sinister for three young women, including Laurie Strode, the star-making role for Jamie Lee Curtis.
And then in Halloween II, while Dr. Loomis hunts for Michael Myers, a traumatized Laurie is rushed to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital, and The Shape is not far behind her.
Finally in Halloween III, kids all over America want Silver Shamrock masks for Halloween. Doctor Daniel Challis seeks to uncover a plot by Silver Shamrock owner Conal Cochran.
While it’s not uncommon for Halloween to play in theaters during spooky season, it’s not very often you get to experience Halloween III on the big screen. Don’t miss this opportunity!
“There is nothing like watching Halloween the way it was meant to be seen, in a theatre, in the dark, on the big screen,” said Malek Akkad, CEO of Trancas International Films. “Nearly fifty years later, Michael Myers still brings audiences back to Haddonfield. Pairing this screening event with the launch of Halloween: The Game gives fans a whole weekend to celebrate the original film that started it all.”
“Halloween is the reason we do horror,” said Charles Brugardt, CEO at IllFonic. “Bringing the original 1978 film back to nearly 300 theaters the same week players can finally step into Michael Myers’ mask themselves felt like the perfect way to celebrate everything this franchise means to fans.”
Halloween: The Game is available for early access NOW and launches wide on September 8 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Store.
Hammer horror classic Dracula aka Horror of Dracula starring Christopher Lee is back with a brand new definitive edition physical media release, and it’s up for pre-order now.
The Dracula 4K Limited Collector’s Edition features a brand new 4K restoration of the classic film, notably including previously cut scenes and footage that has been unseen for 60 years.
Cut by censors and distributors at the time of the film’s original release, the lost footage was discovered in a Warner Bros. warehouse, and the unseen footage runs around three minutes long.
Hammer previews, “For over six decades, Hammer’s Dracula was cut, censored, and buried… until now.”
Inside this brand new release, you’ll find Dracula as director Terence Fisher intended it: five versions of the film, including the uncensored UK and US cuts. And for the first time ever, the editor’s workprint: the rough, unfinished cut that went back and forth between Hammer and the censors as they fought over what audiences would be allowed to see. It’s the only surviving cutting copy for any Hammer film; no other workprint like it exists for any Hammer title, anywhere.
The release also includes over 22 hours of new content, including Lee’s own niece, Dame Harriet Walter, on the real Christopher Lee, Dacre Stoker on his great-granduncle’s novel, and Doug Bradley narrating a dramatised reading of an unfilmed Hammer script.
Here’s everything you’re getting in this massive release…
Seven discs in a stylish digipak: two UHDs and five Blu-rays, with the UHD content duplicated on Blu-ray.
Five iterations of Dracula: uncensored UK version, UK theatrical version, uncensored US version (Horror of Dracula), US theatrical version, editor’s workprint.
Brand-new 5.1 mix for both sets of uncensored and theatrical versions of the film alongside the original mono film soundtrack.
Packaged in a high-end, leather-feel slipcase with debossed foil titling.
Rigid inner box featuring new artwork by illustrator and artist Robert Sammelin.
Double-sided poster.
Eight art cards featuring facsimiles of the original cinema lobby cards.
200-page book featuring new articles on the film, cast and crew.
60-page comic featuring a reprint of the comic strip from legendary 1970s magazine The House of Hammer.
English, French, Italian, Spanish, German and Japanese subtitles on each version of the film.
The Disc content comprises:
Dracula workprint: A unique Hammer artefact, this rough, work-in-progress version of the film was the one assembled during post-production and is almost certainly the element that went back and forth between Hammer and the BBFC as they haggled over cuts. No other Hammer workprints are known to exist.
Proving Them Wrong: The Christopher Lee that people saw in interviews was what he wanted the public to see – but that was not the man himself. Dame Harriet Walter, actor and Lee’s niece, in conversation with Lee’s biographer Jonathan Rigby, discuss their own experiences of this complex man, his life and his ambitions.
The Road to Dracula: Tony Dalton, author of Terence Fisher: Master of Gothic Cinema, writer Stephen Laws, Hammer expert and writer Wayne Kinsey and Little Shoppe of Horrors publisher Dick Klemensen examine Terence Fisher’s pre-1957 work and the path he trod that lead him inexorably to Castle Dracula.

Victim of His Imagination: written in the early 1970s, this Hammer script treatment about Dracula creator Bram Stoker remained unfilmed – until now. Adapted by actor/writer James Swanton, this dramatised reading channels the blood-and-thunder melodrama of a Henry Irving performance, bringing to life a tantalising what-if from Hammer’s archive.
Gothic for Christians: Hellraiser star Doug Bradley narrates a brand-new video essay that considers Terence Fisher’s personal convictions, directorial style and Gothic body of work for Hammer as a foundational influence on cinematic horror.
You Look Like a Teddy Bear Now: Actor Janina Faye, in conversation with Wayne Kinsey, looks back at her career and work for Hammer.

Of Mod(el)s and Monsters: The iconic shot of Dracula disintegrating – now to be seen uncensored on this set – was created by special effects wizard Sydney Pearson, a veteran of many Hammer and other British films. Wayne Kinsey and Dick Klemensen take a look at the man’s work and his legacy.
The Measure of a Hero: A video essay by Heather Wixson, who examines Peter Cushing’s nuanced performance as Van Helsing and how it set the pattern for everything that followed.
Blood, Bites and Boundaries: Dr Sian Barber, author and expert on cinema censorship, examines Hammer’s run-ins with the BBFC over Dracula.
Park Watch and Scream: Many Americans watched Dracula – and other Hammer films – in drive-in theatres, a viewing experience with no equivalent in the UK. Guy Barefoot, film scholar and author, gives a primer on this particular slice of cultural Americana.

Horror fans currently have more access to genre productions than at any other point in history. However, the near-constant deluge of horror media also means that it’s more difficult than ever to keep up with all these new releases and how to watch them.
With that in mind, I’ve decided to come up with this handy guide collecting some of September’s most hotly anticipated genre releases in a single convenient package. While there are sure to be surprise announcements later this month (as well as unexpected bumps to release dates), be sure to check back for more updates in the near future.
As usual, don’t forget to comment below if you think we missed an exciting release.
So, without further ado, here are ten new horror movies releasing in September 2026!
Deathwoods – Streaming on Screambox September 1
There’s no better way of kicking off the Halloween season than by sitting down to watch a good old-fashioned slasher flick – especially when the filmmakers behind it have a long and celebrated history of working with gruesome practical effects.
That’s why I’d recommend Jake Kopronica and Deryk Wehrley’s killer throwback Deathwoods to horror fans looking for some retro thrills. If that’s not enough for you, the flick also features appearances from scream queen Felissa Rose and Miles Dimitri Baker – the lead guitarist of Ice Nine Kills!
Deathwoods is available now exclusively on Screambox.
Lau Chu Hoa: The Deadliest Mansion – In Select Theaters September 4
Hung Tran’s found footage romp may have already been released to rave reviews in its home country of Vietnam, but this eerie thriller about a group of livestreamers exploring a dilapidated mansion is finally making its way overseas courtesy of Mockingbird Pictures.
Not only is this Vietnam’s first theatrically released found footage movie, but it’s also based on an infamous local legend about the daughter of a wealthy family who was allegedly locked away in a secret room of their mansion after contracting leprosy.
Lau Chu Hoa: The Deadliest Mansion will be available in select theaters starting September 4.
Onslaught – In Theaters September 4
A thrilling mix of Universal Soldier, Terminator and Halloween, Adam Wingard’s latest action-horror flick appears to be a return to form for the director who got his start with low-budget thrillers before moving on to CGI-heavy blockbuster filmmaking.
Following an army sniper hellbent on protecting her son when her home is attacked by a squad of genetically engineered super soldiers gone rogue, Onslaught feels like an over-the-top throwback to the very best b-movies of the ’80s. It also takes place in the same universe as Wingard’s cult classic The Guest, which is just one more reason why we’re so excited to finally check it out.
Onslaught will be available in theaters everywhere starting September 4.
Parasomnia – Streaming on Shudder September 4
Having a character discover that her night terrors are bleeding into real life is already one hell of a chilling premise, but combine that setup with influences from horror master Wes Craven and you’ve got yourself a must-watch horror flick.
That’s why I’m excited to check out James Ross II’s Shudder original Parasomnia, especially since the director was already on our radar thanks to his award-winning horror shorts.
Parasomnia is streaming now on Shudder.
Portal to Hell – On Digital September 8
A darkly humorous blend of absurdist storytelling and supernatural horror tropes, Woody Bess’ appropriately titled Portal to Hell tells the story of a debt-collector who finds himself negotiating with a demon in order to save his elderly neighbor from eternal damnation.
The premise sounds fun enough, but it just so happens that the ill-fated neighbor is played by genre legend Keith David – a detail that immediately makes this one of my most anticipated movies on this list.
ortal to Hell will debut on Digital and Video on Demand on September 8.
Don’t Move – In Theaters September 11
Arachnophobes beware, as director Maclain Nelson’s latest thriller is an adaptation of James Murray (of Impractical Jokers fame) and Darren Wearmouth’s celebrated horror novel Don’t Move.
Following a church retreat gone wrong when our protagonists run into a giant prehistoric spider lurking in the West Virginia wilderness, the upcoming film promises to combine the book’s primal thrills with plenty of oddball humor and surprisingly expensive-looking creature effects.
Don’t Move will be available in theaters starting September 11.
Black Zombie – In Select Theaters September 11
Maya Annik Bedward’s Black Zombie may be a documentary, but this fascinating retrospective about the history of zombie mythology explores some pretty dark subject matter as it takes us all the way from Haitian Vodou to modern-day incarnations of the undead.
The film also contains plenty of entertaining interviews with genre specialists including regulars like Tom Savini and even unexpected guests like musician and horror enthusiast Slash – and that’s why I’d consider this a must-watch for genre fans.
Black Zombie will be releasing in select theaters starting September 11.
Resident Evil – In Theaters September 18
My personal most anticipated horror release of the month, Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil reboot is shaping up to be the best adaptation of Capcom’s long-running survival horror series yet.
A standalone story set during the initial T-Virus outbreak in Raccoon City and starring an original character with no combat experience, the film is a welcome departure from the more action-heavy adaptations from the series’ past.
In fact, Cregger has gone on record explaining that he was more interested in emulating the moment-to-moment thrills of actually playing through classic Resident Evil titles than literally adapting their stories – an approach that I think long-time fans can appreciate due to the franchise’s convoluted mythology.
Resident Evil will be available in theaters everywhere starting September 18.
Family – In Limited Theaters and On Demand September 25
I’ve always had a soft spot for horror movies presented from the perspective of isolated children. That’s why I was pleased to see that Benjamin Finkel’s upcoming thriller makes the most of its protagonist’s vulnerability by telling a story about a little girl convinced that a malevolent entity is turning her own parents against her.
After crushing it at the festival circuit nearly two years ago, Family is finally making its way to mainstream audiences courtesy of Fifth Season. That being said, fans of Ruth Wilson beware, as you’ll probably never look at the actress the same way again after seeing her take on the role of a terrifying mommy.
Family will be available in select theaters and on VOD starting September 25.
Never After Dark – In Theaters September 25
Master of Horror Stephen King called Dave Boyle’s supernatural mystery “amazing and haunting”, so it makes sense that horror fans everywhere are excited to finally check out Never After Dark.
Starring Shogun’s Moeka Hoshi, the film follows a wandering medium as she encounters a remote house with a sinister past. Naturally, paranormal terror ensues as she realizes that the place is now home to a malicious entity capable of harming the living.
An atmospheric throwback to classic J-Horror, Never After Dark will be hitting select theaters on September 25, courtesy of Magnolia Pictures.
Which of these September 2026 horror movies are you most excited for?
