This Friday marks the second of three Friday the 13ths in 2026, and you better believe horror movie distributors are capitalizing on the fact that we’re getting so many of them this year. There’s no better day on the calendar to release a horror movie than Friday the 13th, and a handful of them will indeed be releasing in theaters and at home this Friday, March 13.

While you wait, 7 new horror movies have already been released this week…

Here’s all the new horror released on Tuesday, March 10, 2026!


If Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein have you longing for another auteur’s take on a classic monster, Luc Besson (Léon: The Professional, The Fifth Element) has you covered with Dracula. The fresh take on Bram Stoker‘s seminal 1897 novel was released in theaters in the United States just last month and it’s now available at home.

Caleb Landry Jones (Get Out), Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained), and Zoë Bleu star.

When a 15th-century prince witnesses the brutal murder of his wife, he renounces God and damns heaven itself. Cursed with eternal life, he is reborn as Dracula, an immortal warlord who defies fate in a blood-soaked crusade to wrench his lost love back from death, no matter the cost. But Dracula is hunted by a relentless priest, sworn to end his immortal reign.

Danny Elfman (Batman, Beetlejuice) composed the score.


Death Cycle, which evokes Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof through a stylish giallo lens, was released onto VOD outlets at home on Tuesday courtesy of Uncork’d Entertainment.

The revenge slasher is directed by Gabriel Carrer (For the Sake of Vicious).

In Death Cycle, “After the death of her sister, a woman is visited by a man looking to solve a series of murders by a motorcycle maniac. As their shared fear grows, the killer’s rampage continues, leaving them both questioning who the real monster is.”

Kristen Kaster (Death Valley), Sasha Ormond, Matthew Ninaber (Psycho Goreman), Justin Bott, Matt Daciw (Death Valley), James Fler, and Wes Hill star.

“Gabriel Carrer has crafted a sharp, uncompromising thriller with Death Cycle, a film that masterfully blends giallo style with modern slasher brutality,” said Uncork’d’s Keith Leopard.


A story of generational grief from Train to Busan writer-director Yeon Sang-ho, South Korean thriller The Ugly is now available on Digital in the United States from Well Go USA.

Based on Yeon’s graphic novel Face, the film stars Park Jeong-min (Decision to Leave), Kwon Hae-hyo (Peninsula), Shin Hyeon-bin, Im Sung-jae, and Han Ji-hyeon (“Hellbound”).

The Ugly follows Im Yeong-gyu, a master artisan who has been hand-carving beautiful, engraved seals despite having been born blind. One day, his son Dong-hwan receives a call from the police, informing them that the skeletal remains of Young-hee, their wife and mother, have been found after 40 years.

Determined to find the truth of her disappearance, Dong-hwan begins investigating her death with Su-jin, a producer who has been filming a documentary about Yeong-gyu. Through the memories of those who worked with his mother at a garment factory, Dong-hwan comes face-to-face with the long-hidden truth.


Director Kevin Lewis (Willy’s Wonderland starring Nicolas Cage) is back with new horror movie Pig Hill, which is now streaming exclusively on Bloody Disgusting’s Screambox.

The chilling horror feature draws inspiration from a Pennsylvania urban legend involving the mysterious disappearance of local women. Watch the trailer for Pig Hill down below.

Pig Hill follows a young author who investigates the disappearance of local women in the community of Meadville, Pennsylvania, quickly becoming entwined in a strange local legend about the creatures that live on Pig Hill. The film is based on the Nancy Williams novel Pig.

The official synopsis is as follows: “Carrie has been fascinated by the local legend of the pig people of Pig Hill, revolting creatures who breed and cause havoc in the area. As the tenth woman goes missing, Carrie can’t stop thinking that there could be more to these stories.”

The film stars Shane West (A Walk To Remember, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), Rainey Qualley (Ocean’s Eight, Mad Men), Shiloh Fernandez (Evil Dead, Red Riding Hood, Poker Face) and R.A. Mihailoff (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, Hatchet II).


One man’s adventure will forever change your mind about Bigfoot in Squatch. The indie horror film was released onto VOD outlets on Tuesday by Freestyle Digital Media.

The story centers on Nick Peters, who has spent his entire life without his estranged father. Living in a small working-class town with his mother, he unexpectedly inherits his father’s estate including a remote cabin in the deep northern woods.

Wanting nothing to do with it, he’s ready to walk away until Cassie, the coworker he’s pined for, offers to go with him. What begins as a weekend of closure quickly descends into a fight for survival. As they cross into a world untouched by man, they come face-to-face with a myth that has finally stopped hiding.

Professional wrestler Jacob Southwick — better known under the ring name Sawyer Fulton during his time in NXT — stars as Squatch alongside Paige Weishuhn, Jack Chaney, and Cassandra Schomer. Tom Chaney (Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo) directs from a script he co-wrote with Bill Conger.


Vengeance hits the road in Trucker, bringing to mind high-speed horrors like The Hitcher, Joy Ride, and Duel. The horror film is now available on VOD from Breaking Glass Pictures.

When a long-haul trucker’s family is killed in a fiery crash caused by a group of reckless teens, he miraculously survives. Nursed back to health by a mysterious old man, the grieving father channels his trauma and rage into a brutal campaign of retribution against those responsible.

What follows is a white-knuckle descent into obsession, violence, and dark revenge from director Errol Sack and writer Steven Shaffer.

Stunt performer Jim Palmer (Terminator 2, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) stars as the trucker alongside Katherine Gibson, Dwayne Hilton Jr., Nicole Mattox, Dare Taylor, Zach Cirino, and Eli Cirino. Composer Chuck Cirino (Chopping Mall) also appears in the film.


Some doors are best left closed in Do Not Open, which stars real-life spouses Shawn Ray and Marisol Ray. The indie horror film is available on VOD from Cleopatra Entertainment.

Part slow-burn psychological horror, part Hitchcockian suspense thriller, Do Not Open follows a married couple in their 50s who retreat to a secluded vacation cabin, hoping to mend their strained relationship. From the moment they arrive, they are given one rule: the door at the end of the hall is strictly off-limits.

At first, the husband is mildly curious, but as the days pass, the door seems to call to him. Strange occurrences — whispers in the night, fleeting shadows, objects not where they were left — slowly unravel his sanity. His curiosity festers into obsession, consuming his every thought. What lies beyond the door? The answer may be far more terrifying than he ever imagined.

Christopher Leto directs Do Not Open from a script by Patryk Godlewski.

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

Friday, June 5 – These 7 New Horror Movies Released Today

Published

on

Pictured: 'Scary Movie'

Ghostface is back on the big screen this weekend… well, sort of… with the release of Scary Movie, which marks the Wayans brothers’ return to the horror spoof franchise for the first time since Scary Movie 2 back in the day. It’s likely to be the talk of the horror community for the weekend, but don’t overlook the other six genre movies that were freshly unleashed today.

Here’s all the new horror that released on Friday, June 5, 2026.


The horror spoof franchise is back with Scary Movie now playing in theaters!

Marlon Wayans (“Shorty”), Shawn Wayans (“Ray”), Anna Faris (“Cindy”), and Regina Hall (“Brenda”) reunite for the new Scary Movie, with the cast also including Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, Jon Abrahams, Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, and Felissa Rose.

Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer (“Ghostface”), the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe…

Scary Movie will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t. A whole lot has changed in the horror genre since the Wayans Brothers were in charge of the franchise; their involvement ended with Scary Movie 2 back in 2001!

Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs Scary Movie 6 from a script written by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory WayansCraig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).


Chum review

From IFC, shark attack movie Chum is now available on Digital.

Alice Eve (Haunting of Queen Mary) stars in shark attack movie alongside Eric Michael Cole, Jim Klock, Elle Haymond, Lisa Yaro, Johnny Gaffney, and Sarah Siadat.

This one sounds very similar to last year’s Dangerous Animals

Here’s the plot: “A newlywed couple joins friends on a Mediterranean yacht excursion, only to find themselves caught between a predatory shark and a psychopathic killer in their midst-transforming a sun-drenched escape into a fight for survival.”

Jonathan Zuck directs Chum, from a script by Jonathan Zuck and Joe Leone.


Samara Weaving (Ready or Not 2: Here I Come) and Kyle Gallner (Strange Darling) come together in Carolina Caroline, a sexy crime thriller now playing in theaters.

It’s not a horror movie, mind you, but it’s worth a mention here all the same.

Kyra Sedgwick (Family Movie) and Jon Gries also star in the romantic crime thriller.

Director Adam Carter Rehmeier’s film stars Samara Weaving as Caroline Daniels, whose desire to leave her small Texas town brings her into the orbit of a charismatic con man (Kyle Gallner), and together they weave a path of crime and passion across the American Southeast.

Adam Rehmeier previously directed the films Dinner in America and Snack Shack.

Tom Dean wrote the screenplay for Carolina Caroline.


Similar to Steven Spielberg’s upcoming big screen blockbuster Disclosure DaySignal One explores humankind’s enduring question: what if we aren’t alone in the universe?

The sci-fi thriller is now available on Digital.

Isabelle Fuhrman (Orphan), Josh Hutcherson (Five Nights at Freddy’s), David Thewlis (Harry Potter), Raoul Bhaneja (Possessor), Emma Ho (“The Expanse”), and Dennis Quaid (The Substance) star in Signal One from director Jonathan Sobol (The Art of the Steal).

When tech billionaire Sam Houston (Quaid) hires the brilliant computer scientist Annika (Fuhrman), she ventures to an isolated facility run by the brilliant, nihilistic creator of LITTLEMOUTH, a machine which can communicate with alien intelligence.

Annika soon learns some humanity-altering facts: that we are not alone in the universe, that alien intelligences are communicating around us at every moment, and that we are likely too primitive to even remotely understand what they are trying to tell us.

When the goal of the endeavor shifts from listening to talking back, the project rapidly devolves into chaos. With contact comes consequences, and soon Annika and the team must work to ensure the very survival of our species.


A schoolyard dare becomes an urban legend in the creepypasta-inspired horror anthology The Summoning. The indie film is now available on Digital from Brainstorm Media.

“A babysitting gig becomes a nightmare of urban legend when three teens summon Baby Blue. Survival depends on uncovering the past to escape a mother’s wrath from beyond the grave.”

Felipe Vargas (RosarioHive), Sergio Gonzalez, Brandon Piskorik, Corey Benson Powers, and Brian Sepanzyk direct the segments. Valeria San Martín, Justina Ceballos, Daniela Flombaum, Nannu Spannauss, Agustín Olcese, and Giovanni Onetti star.

The Summoning is written by Camilo Zaffora.


Happy Death Day actress Jessica Rothe stars as a mom struggling to keep her grip on her sanity and memory in the mind-bending Affection, now available on Digital at home.

In Affection, “Afflicted by a mysterious condition that resets her memory, Ellie becomes trapped in a cyclical nightmare with a man who claims to be her husband. She soon must uncover the horrifying truth of her existence—before she forgets it all again.

Joseph Cross (Big Little Lies) and Julianna Layne (Chicago P.D.”) also star in the sci-fi horror thriller. Affection marks the feature debut by writer/director BT Meza.

Daniel Kurland wrote in his review out of the film’s premiere, “Affection is steeped in existential questions and fears that plague modern society, while it embraces the ethos of the ’80s through bold body horror. Add to that Rothe’s revelatory performance, and Affection is a hidden gem that will connect with your mind, body, and soul.”


Lucile Hadžihalilović’s latest dark fairy tale, The Ice Towerloosely reimagines Hans Christian Andersen’s fable “The Snow Queen,” and it’s now streaming on Shudder.

In the ’70s set film, “Jeanne, a 15-year-old orphan, witnesses the shoot of a film adaptation of the fairy tale The Snow Queen, and she becomes fascinated by its star Cristina (Marion Cotillard), an actress who is just as mysterious and alluring as the Queen she is playing.

Clara Pacini stars as Jeanne. August Diehl and Marine Gesbert also star in The Ice Tower, and look for a cameo from director Gaspar Noé (ClimaxIrréversible).

For me, The Ice Tower solidified Lucile Hadžihalilović’s place amongst the most fascinating creators of fairy tales today,” said distributor Yellow Veil Pictures co-founder Joe Yanick.
