The 5 New Horror Trailers Released This Week That You Need to Watch!

Published

Pictured: 'Stopmotion'

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.

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.

Jessica Rothe Keeps the Hope Alive for Third ‘Happy Death Day’ Movie

Published

on

It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!

We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!

Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.

Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.

Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”

Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”

In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
