In this episode, we look ahead to 2026 and break down the upcoming horror movies we’re most excited about - a stacked year that’s shaping up to be one of the most interesting for the genre in a long time.

We talk about the projects that have us counting the days, including Hokum, Resident Evil (2026), Return to Silent Hill, Primate, Lee Cronin’s take on The Mummy, Kate Dolan’s Soulm8te, Robert Eggers’ Werwulf, and plenty more films that promise to push horror in bold, strange, and exciting directions.

Rather than deep spoilers, we focus on why these movies matter - the filmmakers behind them, the concepts that grabbed our attention, and what each project could bring to the genre if it sticks the landing.

From big studio reboots and iconic IP to risky originals and auteur-driven horror, 2026 looks like a year built for horror fans.

If you love speculating, setting expectations way too high, and planning your future cinema trips months in advance, this episode is for you.

Strap in!! horror’s future is looking very, very good.
