In the newest and hottest horror movie, Obsession, Bear (Michael Johnston) uses a “one wish willow” to get his crush, Nikki (Inde Navarrette), to like him back. However, his dream slowly turns into a nightmare as Nikki becomes disturbingly obsessed with him.

The Twisted Mind Behind Obsession

Who is behind everyone’s latest horror obsession? American actor, director, and comedian Curry Barker is the film’s director. Barker began creating films and sketch comedies on YouTube alongside Cooper Tomlinson. They are known for their YouTube channel titled “that’s a bad idea”, which currently has 1.13 million subscribers.

Before becoming a director, Barker made some TV acting appearances in “Dave” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”. Barker made his directorial debut in 2024 with his found-footage film, Milk & Serial. This thriller went viral on YouTube, which led to Barker being noticed by United Talent Agency. He then directed Obsession in 2025, originally screened at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival. Only a few days later, Focus Features bought the film’s distribution rights, and the rest is history.

Barker is a phenomenal director, and we can’t wait to see his next project.

As horror films of 2025 quickly draw to a close, horror movie fans are looking forward to what the next year has to offer. Thankfully for them, 2026 is shaping up to be a brilliant year for horror enthusiasts. While there are some new and original horror films to enjoy, there are also plenty of sequels that people have been waiting for.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the most anticipated horror flicks coming out in 2026.

New Nightmares Unleashed: Horror Movies That Will Dominate 2026

Scream 7

Slated to come out on February 27th, 2026, Scream 7 is the latest addition to the long-running series that dates back to 1996. It stars Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, and Roger L. Jackson reprising their roles, and also features appearances from Joel McHale and Matthew Lillard.

It’s the first Scream film directed by Kevin Williamson, who is the original screenplay writer and creator of the franchise.

While not much is known about the plot, Williamson has said that with Neve Campbell back, she wanted to return to the vibe of the first film, focusing more on being suspenseful and scary than gory. Either way, you can be sure that Ghostface is going to do all they can do to make life hell for Sidney Prescott and her friends in Scream 7.

Terrifier 4

After the huge success of Terrifier 3, which grossed over $90 million at the box office, Damien Leone is back with Terrifier 4. Like the other films in the series, Terrifier 4 stars David Howard Thornton as the demonic serial killer, Art the Clown. It also stars Lauren LaVera as Sienna Shaw, who looks to defeat the killer clown, saving herself and her family in the process.

While Art the Clown has remained mysterious throughout the series, Leone has publicly stated that he’s finally going to reveal Art’s origin and how he came to be. However, he also said he won’t pull the curtain back too far, as he doesn’t want the character to lose his mystique.

With this film being the conclusion of the Terrifier saga, according to Leone, expect it to give fans the answers to questions they’ve been wondering about since the first film was released in 2016. Will it be able to match the commercial success of Terrifier 3? Only time will tell.

Scary Movie 6

Scary Movie 6 is scheduled to be released in theaters on June 12th, 2026, and is the first film in the franchise to come out in over a decade. The film sees Anna Faris and Regina Hall make their triumphant returns to the series, and the Wayans brothers are also coming back to the franchise for the first time since Scary Movie 2.

While the exact plot is being kept a secret, expect this movie to be full of horror movie spoofs, cliches, and the over-the-top comedic horror situations that the series has been known for since it debuted over two decades ago. The film is being directed by Michael Tiddes, who is best known for directing A Haunted House and A Haunted House 2.

How will the first Scary Movie in the last decade stack up to previous releases, and what sorts of horror movies will it spoof this time? You’ll have to check it out in 2026 to find out.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple

Few zombie or post-apocalyptic film franchises are as beloved as 28 Days Later. The franchise centers on the outbreak of the Rage Virus, which causes infected individuals to become mindless killers, and also details the lives and hardships of survivors.

Despite 28 Years Later (the third installment in the series) just releasing in 2025, the sequel is already scheduled to come out on January 16th, 2026, as the films were shot back-to-back. It’s being directed by Nia DaCosta, who is best known for directing Little Woods, Candyman, and The Marvels.

Not much is known about the plot, but many of the actors in 28 Years Later retain their roles in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, such as Cillian Murphy, Alfie Williams, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes. Will this sequel get as much love as 2025’s installment (which grossed over $150 million at the box office) or will it fall flat?

Evil Dead Burn

Coming out on July 24th, 2026, Evil Dead Burn is the sixth installment in the Evil Dead series that dates back to 1981. It’s a standalone entry in the series and stars Souheila Yacoub, Hunter Doohan, and Luciane Buchanan.

It’s being directed by Sébastien Vaniček, who was chosen because series creator Sam Raimi was impressed with his directorial debut in Infested.

As the film only just began shooting in July of 2025, there’s not much information about the plot or story. However, expect much of the same violent horror, possession, and gore that the Evil Dead series is known for.

It may be even more intense, as Vaniček has publicly stated his desire to make it even more extreme and disturbing. You’ll have to tune in when it releases to find out just how terrifying and gory it actually is.

Send Help

Send Help is a survival horror film that’s releasing on January 30th, 2026. It tells the story of two colleagues who get stranded on a remote island after a plane crash, and must work together and get beyond past issues with one another to survive. The film stars Rachel McAdams, Dylan O’Brien, Chris Pang, and Dennis Haysbert.

It’s being directed by the legendary Sam Raimi, who is best known for creating Evil Dead and directing the first three films in the series, as well as directing the Spider-Man trilogy. While everyone involved is relatively tight-lipped about the film, with Sam Raimi at the helm, we’re certainly excited to see what it’s all about when it comes out next year.

Werwulf

Set to release on Christmas Day in 2026, Werwulf is a supernatural horror film set in medieval Britain and focuses on a werewolf that stalks a countryside village. It features a star-studded cast that includes Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Willem Dafoe.

The movie is directed by Robert Eggers, best known for films like The Witch, The Lighthouse, and Nosferatu. While he’s told several unsettling and troubling stories over the years, he has said that Werwulf is his darkest by far.

With a strong lineup of actors and actresses, a brilliant director, and an interesting and dark premise, this is surely one to check out if you like a little horror around the holidays.

From the twisted mind that brought us Barbarian, Zach Cregger is back with Weapons, a horror mystery that will leave you shaken long after the credits roll. It promises to be bigger, stranger, and downright scarier than anything he has done before.

The Plot of Weapons: A Nightmare at 2:17 AM

Can you imagine waking up in the middle of the night to find the entire town’s children missing, minus one lucky youngster? At exactly 2:17 AM, an entire class of children just disappears into the night. But what evil force could have taken them? Why was only one child spared? The deeper the town investigates, the deeper the mystery becomes.

Cregger describes Weapons as “fun, scary, and inviting” but also “really messed up“, so you take that as you will. If Barbarian taught us anything, it’s that “fun” probably means agonizing dread, so we got that going for us.

Weapons Cast

Weapons delivers an all-star cast, for sure to bring us an unforgettable horror experience:

• Josh Brolin (Dune: Part Two, Goonies) as Archer Graff, a father searching for his missing child.
• Julia Garner (Ozark, Wolf Man, The Fantastic Four: First Steps) as Justine Gandy, a teacher whose class seems to have gone a missing.
• Alden Ehrenreich (Cocaine Bear, Fair Play) as Paul, a police officer caught in the chaos.
• Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan round out the cast, ensuring plenty of terrifying performances.

Release Date: When Can You Watch Weapons?

Mark your calendars—Weapons hits theaters on August 8, 2025. That means you have enough time to watch Barbarians and mentally prepare for whatever horrors Cregger has cooked up.

Weapons Trailer

You may want to invest in a hazmat suit because The Toxic Avenger is back, and this time it’s bloodier, more offensive, and oozing with radioactivity. The world will never be the same after this long-awaited reboot hits theaters on August 29, 2025, bringing plenty of screams, laughs, and maybe even a few tears in your popcorn.

The Toxic Avenger Plot

In this updated radioactive nightmare, Winston Gooze, a lonely janitor, falls victim to the worst on-the-job injury of all time – falling into a vat of toxic waste. Instead of dying a slow and horrible death, Winston mutates into a grotesque, mutated, yet lovable, vigilante. Only armed with a mop and a mission, our hero faces off with the filth of society, corporate greed, environmental decay, and a power-hungry villain hellbent on annihilation and carnage.

Cast: A Toxic Dream Team

This unhinged reboot stars an insanely stacked cast:

• Peter Dinklage as Winston Gooze / The Toxic Avenger
• Elijah Wood as the sinister Fritz Garbinger
• Kevin Bacon as the villainous Bob Garbinger
• Jacob Tremblay as Winston’s son, Wade
• Taylour Paige as J.J. Doherty, a fierce Ally
• Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne, and Sarah Niles round out the madness

The Toxic Avenger Trailer

Why You Should Be Excited

This unrated reboot will not be for everyone. Expect over-the-top gore, mutant nudity, and hilarious carnage. Director Macon Blair has promised a film that honors the original while injecting fresh mayhem, ensuring that fans and newcomers alike will revel in the radioactive insanity of The Toxic Avenger.

Can you believe it’s been almost 30 years since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons lab, and then Jim woke up from his coma only to find an empty hospital, and then, well, you know the rest.  Now it is almost 3 decades later, and Danny Boyle is bringing the dead back with 28 Years Later. 

28 Years Later Plot and Cast

Set in an unrecognizable Britain, small groups of uninfected people have learned to endure while living within a world of the infected. The film follows a community of people on Lindisfarne, a tidal island sheltered by a heavily defended passage.  The story follows Jamie, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson of Nosferatu, and his 12-year-old son Spike, played by Alfie Williams of His Dark Materials, as they venture off the island. Why would they do that?

Their world is torn apart when they discover a terrifying truth: the virus has evolved, making the original infected look tame in comparison.

Jodie Comer of The Bikeriders plays Isla, a pregnant woman battling against extinction, while Ralph Fiennes of Red Dragon and The Menu plays the mysterious Dr. Kelson, a man with more secrets than answers.

The film explores humanity’s perfect hell, a world where the infected don’t just kill the infected and die—they adapt, evolve, and patiently wait.

Release Date

Be sure not to miss this summer’s most feared cinematic nightmare when it is released exclusively in theaters on June 20, 2025. Just remember: the infected don’t run anymore—they wait.
