The 5 New Horror Trailers Released This Week That You Need to Watch!
The entertainment news cycle these days is so crazy that even “slow news weeks” bring with them a deluge of news. And that’s especially true here in the horror world, with new movies and TV shows being announced every single day. How the hell are we supposed to keep up?!
Well, we like to think we do a good job of keeping up here on Bloody Disgusting on a daily basis, but we also understand that it’s impossible to read EVERYTHING we publish on here.
As a result, you may miss some pretty awesome trailers for upcoming horror projects from time to time. So let’s take a look at the five best from January 22 – January 26, 2024.
The Lost Boys: The Musical – Coming Soon
One of the most attention grabbing trailers of the week wasn’t for a movie or TV series but rather a musical. Joel Schumacher’s 1987 vampire classic The Lost Boys is getting a brand new official musical, and with Patrick Wilson on board as producer, it’s already turning heads.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical will be Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring). The musical is being made by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.
Immaculate – In Theaters March 22
Distributor NEON has a few heavy hitters headed our way here in 2024, including the Nicolas Cage starring Longlegs. While we wait for the trailer for that one, NEON released the official Red Band trailer for Immaculate this week, a horror movie starring Sydney Sweeney.
Sweeney stars as Cecilia, a woman of devout faith who is offered a role at an illustrious Italian convent. Her warm welcome to the picture-perfect Italian countryside is interrupted as it becomes clearer to Cecilia that her new home harbors some dark and horrifying secrets.
Alice in Terrorland – On DVD February 13
The latest in a long line of wildly unofficial horror movie twists on classic stories, Alice in Terrorland popped up on our radar this week, a low budget indie effort that naturally reimagines Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland as a horror movie.
In the upcoming Alice in Terrorland, “A recently bereaved teenage girl goes to live with her aunt in a secluded woodland house, unaware that sinister forces lurk within.”
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live – Premieres February 25
How do you get people to care about “The Walking Dead” again? Well, “The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live” may be the most attention-grabbing spinoff in the show’s history, because this one is bringing back both Rick Grimes and Michonne – two iconic favorites.
The series presents an epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world. Kept apart by distance. By an unstoppable power. By the ghosts of who they were.
Stopmotion – In theaters February 23
An unsettling puppet-themed horror movie titled Stopmotion is first headed to theaters on February 23 before coming exclusively to Shudder on May 31, and the official trailer did what it set out to do this week: creep the absolute hell out of the entire horror community.
The film stars Aisling Franciosi as a stop-motion animator who is struggling to control her demons after the loss of her overbearing mother. Suddenly alone in the world, she embarks upon the creation of a macabre new puppet film, which soon becomes the battleground for her sanity. As Ella’s mind starts to fracture, the characters in her animated film take on a terrifying life of their own, and the unleashed power of her imagination threatens to destroy her.
NEON has been absolutely slaying the marketing game for their horror output this year, and they’re kicking the Longlegs campaign into high gear with one more month until release.
A cryptic ad in The Seattle Times today (seen below) has led clever horror fans to discover TheBirthdayMurders.net, the brand new official viral marketing website for Longlegs.
The in-universe website details the victims of the serial killer known as Longlegs (Nicolas Cage), described as a “Satan-worshipping psycho” who has terrorized families throughout the Pacific Northwest for nearly three decades.
The website details, “A bloody trail of bodies here in the great state of Oregon attests to the depraved savagery of this one-of-a-kind serial killer. With over three dozen victims that we know of, LONGLEGS is one of the most prolific mass murderers ever to have graced the region, and his gruesome endeavors are the stuff of nightmares. At first, all of the killings appeared to be straightforward murder-suicides: the handiwork of average men who suddenly snapped and slaughtered their wives and children. But a series of eerie coded messages left at the crime scenes indicate that someone – or something – is influencing these horrific crimes. The cryptic letters are signed by someone calling himself LONGLEGS.”
“With thirty-eight kills to his name, LONGLEGS has torn apart the lives of eleven different families throughout the Beaver State. His victims were good people: honest fathers, decent mothers, innocent little children.”
The website is loaded with secrets, clues, and gruesome (faux) crime scene photos, and you might even find a mention of yours truly nestled in there. Poke around. Stay a while.
Longlegs arrives in theaters July 12.
The upcoming serial killer horror movie marks the return of 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.
The film is rated “R” for “Bloody violence, disturbing images and some language.”
