It’s Thanksgiving Week, which is always a perfect time to cuddle up on the couch and catch up on horror movies you might’ve missed. This year has given us so many new horror releases that it’s been absolutely impossible to watch them all, and more are coming this week!

Here’s all the new horror releasing November 21 – November 26, 2023.

For daily reminders about new horror releases, be sure to follow @HorrorCalendar.


A peyote trip turns into a cannibal nightmare in Do Not Disturb, which Dark Star Pictures brought to select theaters last week. The film is now available on Digital at home.

In Do Not Disturb, “Chloe and Jack travel to Miami for their honeymoon. They decide that a peyote experience will strengthen their marriage. However, they’ve been given a powerful strand that awakens a desire to eat human flesh.

“Confronting their toxic relationship, their room becomes a den of love, lust and resentment as Chloe realizes that the way to escape this troubled marriage to is to literally consume Jack.”

Kimberly Laferrière and Rogan Christopher star.

John Ainslie‘s indie horror movie Do Not Disturb premiered at Popcorn Frights in Florida this summer. The film is described as “grotesque, looming, filthy, and full of visceral horror.”


SCREAMBOX and Midnight Pulp are excited to unleash Visitors (The Complete Edition), Kenichi Ugana‘s Japanese anthology movie that’s now streaming on SCREAMBOX.

After premiering at this year’s Fantastic Fest, Visitors made its way to VOD platforms and SCREAMBOX on Tuesday before heading to Midnight Pulp at a later date.

In the 60-minute splatterfest, “A rock ‘n’ roll band drop in unannounced on a friend and find themselves plummeting into a wackadoo reverie of monsters and mayhem.”

Get ready for Evil Dead-esque gory mayhem in Visitors. Dig the trailer…


The Chinese monster movie Crocodile Island came to Digital here in the United States on Tuesday from Well Go USA Entertainment, and it’s also now available on DVD.

In Crocodile Island

“A plane malfunction lands a single father and his daughter on Crocodile Island, in an area around the Devil’s Sea also known as the Bermuda Triangle of Asia. They and the other survivors must battle enormous crocodiles and spiders in an epic battle for their very survival.”

Co-directed by Shixing Xu (Sharktopus) and Simon Zhao (The Antarctic Octopus), the film stars Gallen Lo (Flashover), Yinyue Liao (“Meet Yourself”), and Bingxiang Wang.


Full Moon is headed to the swamplands of Georgia with their next horror movie, this one titled Bad CGI Gator and releasing on Full Moon’s app and Prime Video this Friday.

Full Moon previews, “Sharknado, Slither, Eight Legged Freaks, Piranha… our streaming services are saturated with ridiculous flicks, featuring extra-large monsters wreaking havoc ala bad CGI. Now, Bad CGI Gator writer, Zalman Band, director, Danny Draven, and Full Moon Features are taking this pop culture phenomenon and well… poking fun!”

In Bad CGI Gator, “Six college grads on Spring Break get a cabin in the swamplands of Georgia. They decide to throw their school laptops in a backyard lake in an act of youthful defiance, which unknowingly turns a lurking alligator into the dreaded and insatiable… Bad CGI Gator!”

“I’ve long been against the overuse of CGI in genre films, and in many ways, this movie is a fun, tongue-in-cheek antidote to that. When done right, CGI is a great tool to accent special effects. When done wrong…well, we get BAD CGI GATOR!” says Full Moon’s Charles Band.

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

The new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), the upcoming Weapons is assembling an impressive cast, with Josh Brolin (Dune 2) and Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) recently signing on. Deadline reports today that Alden Ehrenreich (Cocaine Bear) is the latest actor to join the cast of Cregger’s new movie.

The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.

The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”

Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”

Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
