If you thought you could sleep easy during the month of March, think again. There’s a veritable cavalcade of creepiness heading your way over the next four weeks, so get your calendars ready because you won’t want to miss any of these horrifying movies, TV shows and video games!
The tidal wave of new horror starts rolling on March 5, with the debut of Castlevania: Season 3 on Netflix, continuing the violent animated adventures of Alucard. Then get out of the house on March 6, when Max Pachman’s Beneath Us debuts in theaters. The new horror thriller stars Lynn Collins, and tells the story of undocumented workers held prisoner by a wealthy American couple.
Or, if you absolutely must stay home on March 6, you can also enjoy more tales of terror on streaming. Crawlers, the latest episode of Hulu’s Into the Dark, a monthly series of horror movies centered around popular holidays, injects some alien body-swapping into your St. Patrick’s Day. Over on Netflix, the Spanish serial killer thriller Twin Murders: The Silence of the White City makes its debut.
And, of course, the horror/fantasy anthology series Amazing Stories makes its long-awaited return on March 6, after decades on hiatus. Subscribers to Apple TV+ will get brand new episodes from directors like Sylvain White (Slender Man), Susanna Fogel (The Spy Who Dumped Me) and more.
Head on over to Shudder on March 12, because that’s when the supernatural thriller The Room debuts. The thriller is about a couple who move into a house with a magical room, where anything the owners wish materializes. It seems like a gift, but since the movie is streaming on Shudder, there’s probably a catch.
A whole ton of new horror drops on March 13, so you might want to start saving up now. First and foremost it’s the film that everyone has been talking about: The Hunt, which was delayed from last year after controversy over its subject matter. The film puts a new spin of The Most Dangerous Game, by depicting a group of conservatives being hunted by rich liberals, and taking the violence back to them in turn.
Also theaters, Vin Diesel gets brought back from the dead with superpowers and no memories. Bloodshot is the feature directorial debut of Dave Wilson, who previously worked on cinematics and trailers for video games like Bioshock Infinite and Star Wars: The Old Republic – Knights of the Eternal Throne. If that’s not enough theatrical terror for you, check out the Italian supernatural thriller Cruel Peter, about the ghost of a wicked boy who gets unleashed by an archaeologist, or you can go see M.O.M. Mothers of Monsters, a thriller about a woman who suspects her son will become a school shooter.
But wait, there’s even MORE on March 13! There are four horror debuts on Netflix alone, including the Norwegian horror anthology series Bloodride, the Icelandic serial killer series The Valhalla Murders, and the new serial killer movie Lost Girls, starring Amy Ryan, Thomasin McKenzie and Gabriel Byrne. And over on Amazon Prime, you can watch the new limited series Agatha Christie’s The Pale Horse, about a small town mystery which revolves around three suspected witches.
Fans of robots and existentialism will no doubt be happy on March 15, when the third season of HBO’s Westworld makes its debut. And fans of the Winchester Brothers should get ready to follow them to their final destination, as the last season of “Supernatural” moves to Mondays for its no-doubt epic conclusion. And on March 18, over on the Travel Channel, experience the horrors of real-life crime in True Terror with Robert Englund, a six-part TV series hosted by the original Freddy Krueger himself!
Shhhh! Do you hear that? Let’s hope not, because the evil and murderous monsters who hate loud noises are back in A Quiet Place Part II, which stars Emily Blunt as she takes a dangerous journey with her family in a silent post-apocalyptic landscape. The sequel to the surprise smash hit arrives in theaters on March 20, alongside the latest from Quentin Dupieux (Rubber), Deerskin, a horror film about a man obsessed with a jacket made out of – you guessed it – deerskin.
But what’s with all these movies and TV shows? What about interactive horror? March 20 also brings with it Doom Eternal, the latest hellish first-person shooter from the popular franchise. Doom Eternal will be available on, PS4, PC, Stadia and Xbox One, alongside a new re-release of Doom 64, which can be purchased for PS4, PC, Switch and Xbox One. And if that’s not enough for you, Moons of Madness brings cosmic horror to the PS4 and Xbox One on March 24, for even more nightmares on Mars!
What, you want more?! How could you possibly want more?! Fine, check out Shudder on March 26 for the debut of Daniel Isn’t Real, a horror movie about a traumatized child whose imaginary friend may be more than a coping mechanism, and may be some kind of monster.
Which of these horrifying new releases are you most excited about for March…?
