Eleven New Horror Movies Released During Halloween Week

Bloody Disgusting reported that eleven new horror films were released to theaters and VOD during Halloween week, ranging from the witchy family-curse The Salem Chronicles to the family-friendly animated monster movie Stitch Head. Coverage across outlets showed a wide season slate: Digital Spy and others flagged strong November premieres on Netflix and Prime Video, and some critics singled out Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein (starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi) as earning an 85% Rotten Tomatoes score. Streaming roundups from Watch With Us and US Magazine highlighted must-see thrillers such as Zodiac and Scarface while warning that catalog churn will remove some titles from services like Netflix and HBO Max soon. Critics including Collider emphasized a strand of spiritual horror that leans on existential and theological dread rather than jump scares, citing films like Event Horizon and Taiwan’s found-footage Incantation. MovieWeb and similar outlets urged rediscovery of underrated 2020s horror such as The Mortuary Collection that blend inventive storytelling and atmosphere and may become cult classics.
