What horror movies are coming out in fall 2023, part two?

The Exorcist: Believer (October 6)

Yes, there’s so much horror we had to put this category on two pages.

Maybe the biggest horror film of the season is The Exorcist: Believer, a legacy sequel that reboots the iconic franchise along with the return of original star Ellen Burstyn. It’s from the team that made the similar legacy sequel Halloween films.

When Evil Lurks (October 6)

The discovery of a dead body near their home sets two brothers off on a frightening adventure in which they must race against the clock to stop a demon from escaping its human host.

Totally Killer (October 6 on Prime)

Pet Sematary: Bloodlines (October 6 on Paramount+)

Set in 1969, it’s a prequel to the legendary Stephen King book/movie.

In the Fire (October 13)

It’s basically Amber Heard in The Exorcist, but set in the 1800s.

The Devil on Trial (October 17 on Netflix)

Nothing is scarier than a true story and this is a documentary about the first and only time demonic possession was used as a defense in a murder trial.

Five Nights at Freddy’s (October 27)

Blumhouse has been trying to get a movie based on the popular game franchise off the ground for years and now, it finally has. It follows a father (Josh Hutcherson) and daughter who end up in a long-closed restaurant inhabited by killer robot animals.

Suitable Flesh (October 27)

Heather Graham starts as a psychologist who just wants to help a patient with mental health issues, but then finds herself going down a deep, dark rabbit hole of horror.

Appendage (October TBD on Hulu)

When a fashion designer starts to get very sick, she realizes it might because because she’s about to grow a new appendage out of her body. And she’s not the only one.

What you see above isn’t the film currently scheduled for release in November. It is, however, the inspiration. Director Eli Roth made a fake trailer for the 2007 film Grindhouse and now, 15-plus years later, he’s making it a reality.
