This week kicked off with the release of hippo horror movie Hungry at home, and four more horror movies have arrived for at-home viewing as we head into the final weekend of June.

Here are the new horror movies that released on Friday, June 26, 2026!

The Halloween season can no longer be contained to the months of September and October, with “Summerween” becoming a thing in recent years. Essentially, it allows for Halloween to bleed into the warmer Summer months, and the first ever Summerween movie has arrived.

The Asylum released Summerween onto Digital outlets today.

In the film from writer/director Ryan Ebert, “On Summerween, a former circus clown escapes a mental institution to return to his abandoned mansion and hunt the teens partying there.”

Cole Chapleski, Chase Breithoff, Logan Roe, Sophia Sabol, and Clint Morrison star.

Director Ryan Ebert is the man behind a string of recent indie horrors we’ve covered, including Shark Side of the Moon, The Jolly Monkey, Jurassic Reborn, and Predator: Wastelands.

A witchy coming-of-age story from Dark Sky Films, Camp is now playing in select theaters.

Check your local listings to find a theater near you.

Camp is from writer-director Avalon Fast (Honeycomb, The Serpent’s Skin).

“Emily is the root cause of two devastating tragedies very early in her life, and she feels the weight of these accidents as though cursed. At her father’s suggestion, she takes a position at a summer camp for troubled youth to ease her guilt. When Emily arrives, she is welcomed by the other counselors, who accept her as she is and surround her with peace and forgiveness.

“As Emily begins to believe in a new kind of life, she starts to hear a voice whispering from deep in the woods — one that urges her to go home, and one that may be impossible to ignore.”

The film stars Zola Grimmer in her screen debut alongside Alice Wordsworth, Cherry Moore, Lea Rose Sebastianis (Castration Movie Part 1 & 2, In A Violent Nature), Ella Reece, Austyn Van de Kamp (This Too Shall Pass), Sophie Bawks-Smith (Honeycomb), Izza Jarvis, and Aiden Laudersmith.

Producers Tyler Perry and Jason Blum have joined forces for Peacock Original Strung.

The film is now streaming only on Peacock.

“A talented violinist takes a prestigious job as a music tutor for the gifted daughter of an influential and enigmatic family. As she becomes entangled in their opulent world, unsettling secrets begin to surface, forcing her to question her safety, her dreams, and even her sanity.”

Malcolm D. Lee (Scary Movie 5, Space Jam: A New Legacy) directs from a script written by Alan B. McElroy (Wrong Turn, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers).

Chloe Bailey (“Swarm“), Lynn Whitfield (Jaws: The Revenge), Lucien Laviscount (“Scream Queens”), Anna Diop (Us), Coco Jones (Vampires vs. the Bronx), Langley Kirkwood (“Banshee”), and Romy Woods star in Peacock’s Strung.

Produced by Diablo Cody, director Meredith Alloway’s Forbidden Fruits brought a new coven of witches to the big screen earlier this year, and it’s now streaming on Shudder.

Lola Tung (“The Summer I Turned Pretty”), Victoria Pedretti (“The Haunting of Hill House”), Alexandra Shipp (Tragedy Girls), Gabrielle Union (Breaking In), and Emma Chamberlain star in Forbidden Fruits, released by IFC and Shudder.

Free Eden employee Apple secretly runs a witchy femme cult in the basement of the mall store after hours. But when new hire Pumpkin challenges the group’s ‘girl boss’ ways, the women are forced to face their own poisons or succumb to a bloody fate. 

“Forbidden Fruits grabbed me by the neck the very first time I read it,” Diablo Cody said. “It’s one of the craziest, most creative, beautifully bonkers projects I’ve ever worked on.”

Meagan Navarro writes in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Forbidden Fruits may not necessarily forge new terrain in the teen satire space, but Alloway brings so much style and energy to her well-cast single-location stage play adaptation for the Gen Z crowd.”

The film is an adaptation of playwright Lily Houghton’s stage play Of the Women Came the Beginning of Sin and Through Her We All Die. Alloway and Houghton co-adapted.

This week’s new release roundups are presented by HUNGRY.

The Five Nights at Freddy’s film franchise will continue with the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy’s 3, and a brand new writer has boarded the franchise for the next installment.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms the news that Gary Dauberman (IT, The Nun, Salem’s Lot, Until Dawn) will write the screenplay for Five Nights at Freddy’s 3.

The outlet also notes that Emma Tammi, who directed the first two Five Nights at Freddy’s movies, is expected to return to the director’s chair for the upcoming third installment.

Franchise creator Scott Cawthon will remain on board as a producer.

“It is unclear whether stars Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio and Elizabeth Lail, among others, will be returning but many are expected to,” The Hollywood Reporter notes in their report.

Last year’s smash hit sequel Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 scared up $238 million at the worldwide box office, so it was all but guaranteed that the franchise would continue.

Rumors had been swirling that David Robert Mitchell (It Follows) had been hired to write the next Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, with those rumors based on recent comments made by franchise star Skeet Ulrich. The actor misspoke at a recent event and mentioned that the writer of It Follows was writing FNAF 3, but Ulrich meant to say the writer of IT (Gary Dauberman).

Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 is coming soon from Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Universal.

Earlier this month, the new Scary Movie broke a franchise record with a $105 million worldwide opening weekend, and the horror-comedy spoof has now passed $200 million.

The current domestic total for Scary Movie as we head into another weekend is $100 million, while the worldwide box office total currently sits at a healthy $208 million.

With that $208 million added to the franchise’s previous box office office totals over the years, Deadline notes this week, the Scary Movie franchise has now hit $1 billion!

Here are the worldwide totals for all six movies in the franchise to date…

• Scary Movie ($278M)
• Scary Movie 2 ($141.2M)
• Scary Movie 3 ($220.6M)
• Scary Movie 4 ($178.2M)
• Scary Movie 5 ($78.3M)
• Scary Movie 6 ($208.5M)

Deadline also notes in their report, “The current Scary Movie is the first pure R-rated comedy (not a hybrid action or superhero genre movie) to cross $100M since 2017’s Girls Trip.”

The reported production budget for Paramount’s new Scary Movie was just $30 million, ensuring that the franchise’s sixth installment will be turning a healthy profit in theaters.

Scary Movie is currently 23% rotten on Rotten Tomatoes and film’s CinemaScore was a dismal C+, but the film is nevertheless proving itself to be review-proof at the box office.

Marlon Wayans (“Shorty”), Shawn Wayans (“Ray”), Anna Faris (“Cindy”), and Regina Hall (“Brenda”) reunite for the new Scary Movie, with the cast also including Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, Jon Abrahams, Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, and Felissa Rose.

Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer (“Ghostface”), the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe…

Scary Movie will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t. A whole lot has changed in the horror genre since the Wayans Brothers were in charge of the franchise; their involvement ended with Scary Movie 2 back in 2001!

Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directed the new Scary Movie.
