If you’re into jump scares, gothic vibes, or just love a good Halloween marathon, we’ve got you covered. This year’s horror lineup is stacked, so grab your popcorn and maybe keep the lights on.
Spooky season is here and so are the chills. New releases, sequels and a few classics to stream for when you’re hiding under a blanket.
First up, “Black Phone 2.” It’s already buzzing on Rotten Tomatoes and Fandango calls it one of fall’s most anticipated films!
Erik Davis: “Well, in theaters, I’m gonna have to go with ‘Black Phone 2,’ it is certified fresh at Rotten Tomatoes, it was the number two most anticipated horror movie coming out this fall, according to a survey at Fandango.”
If you love a dark, gothic twist. Guillermo del Toro is back with “Frankenstein.”
Erik Davis: “Visionary auteur Guillermo del Toro, he brings this lavish, gothic re-imagining of Mary Shelley’s classic tale. It stars Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, Jacob Elordi is the creature.”
Your living room can be a fright fest too. Top pick streaming at home? “The Conjuring: Last Rites.”
Erik Davis: “Our number one most popular movie on Fandango at home right now is ‘The Conjuring: Last Rites.’ This was voted, actually, the most anticipated horror movie of the fall season, according to a survey at Fandango. You can get this nine film bundle of the films.”
Also on the fall watchlist — “The Long Walk.”
Erik Davis: “It’s based on a Stephen King novel, it sort of reminds you of ‘The Hunger Games.'”
Want something that’ll give you the heebie jeebies for date night? Try “Together.”
Erik Davis: “It stars the real life couple, Dave Franco and Alison Brie, and they play a couple that, they escape city life to the countryside only to encounter a mysterious force that begins to twist their bodies and their bond in horrifying ways.”
And if we’re feeling out the classics, “28 Days Later” is a bone-chilling recommendation.
Erik Davis: “We just got a sequel in ’28 Years Later’ and then we’re gonna get a sequel to ’28 Years Later’ in January called ‘The Bone Temple.'”
Or we can spend a night at “The Cabin in the Woods.”
Erik Davis: “I just always go back to this like I do ‘Scream’ when I want a really original horror movie that deconstructs a genre in a certain way, but, also at the same time, really scares you and makes you laugh.”
