NEON Releases Creepy Teaser for One of This Year’s Horror Movies; Watch Here to Begin the Mystery [Video]
NEON is kicking off the year with an ultra creepy teaser for a mysterious horror movie on their 2024 slate, and we’re excited to share that eerie first look with you this morning.
The catch? We don’t actually know what movie it’s from! NEON is being super secretive about the teaser video, but we can at least present you with a list of strong guesses.
NEON currently has three horror movies in their 2024 lineup, including the Hunter Schafer-starring Cuckoo, which also stars Dan Stevens and Jessica Henwick. Directed by Tilman Singer (Luz), the movie has been shrouded in a bit of secrecy, with plot details under wraps.
And then there’s Longlegs, a hotly anticipated serial killer horror movie from director Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel). Nicolas Cage stars alongside Maika Monroe, with Monroe playing an FBI agent and Cage playing a serial killer.
In the film, “FBI Agent Lee Harker (Monroe) is a gifted new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer (Cage). As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of the occult, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he claims the lives of another innocent family.”
Finally there’s Immaculate, a NEON-acquired horror movie starring Sydney Sweeney. Said to be a “gripping psychological horror” movie, Immaculate is directed by Michael Mohan (The Voyeurs), with Sweeney leading the cast as “Cecilia, a woman of devout faith who is offered a fulfilling new role at an illustrious Italian convent.
“Her warm welcome to the picture-perfect Italian countryside is soon interrupted as it becomes clearer to Cecilia that her new home harbors some dark and horrifying secrets.”
The clip in question runs just 35-seconds long, and it begins with a family photo of a mother, father and daughter. A call to 911 plays over top of the photo, with the father explaining to the operator that something has happened to his daughter. “That’s not my daughter,” he says at one point during the chilling call, and the clip ends with what looks to be a crime scene photo. There are also strange symbols throughout the video, which are just begging to be decoded.

‘The Haunting of Pennhurst’ Exclusive Clip Trains Scare Actors For Historic Haunt in Tribeca Doc
The past and present collide in haunting, poignant ways in the genre documentary The Haunting of Pennhurst, which sees a Halloween haunt serve as a reclamation of true historic horrors.
Ahead of its world premiere at the 25th Tribeca Film Festival, we have an exclusive clip that sees scare actors in training for the Halloween season. The catch? This haunt is opening at the historic Pennhurst State School & Hospital site, a facility that caused immense harm to its disabled patients over decades of its operation.
In the documentary, “For over seventy years, Pennhurst State School & Hospital was called a place of care. What happened inside killed over half its population. It closed in 1987, leaving behind unmarked graves and an unresolved history. Today, on those same grounds, disabled performers – many living with the same conditions that once sent people to Pennhurst – put on their makeup, pull on their costumes, and prepare to scare people for a living.
“Through grit, compassion, and buckets of blood, the eclectic performers of the Pennhurst Asylum haunted attraction are wrestling with a space that is at once a lucrative business and a gravesite.”
The upcoming documentary hails from directing trio Nathan Stenberg, Mike Attie, and Katarina Poljak, who explore their socially-relevant subject through archival footage, first-hand accounts, and an immersive verité.
“Pennhurst has haunted us since we first passed through its dragon-tooth gates; the horrors of the institution echo through the site today. We are so grateful to bring this film to the Tribeca Festival, particularly the Escape from Tribeca section, which feels right for a story where past and present bleed together. We hope audiences leave unnerved and asking the same uncomfortable questions we did,” Attie, Stenberg, and Poljak said in a statement.
Watch the clip below that sees disabled and neurodivergent scare actors learning the ropes of a Halloween haunt, reclaiming the site’s grim history in the process.
