"It's been a scary-good year for theatrical horror, including some of the biggest hits of 2025. , Final Destination: Bloodlines, , and 28 Years Later are just a few of the films that have frightened moviegoers. And yet, despite the tear the genre has been on, and despite its now being spooky season, there aren't as many high-profile horror titles as as you might expect there to be this October."
"But just because there isn't a Sinners or Weapons out ahead of All Hallows' Eve doesn't mean that there isn't something waiting to scare you at the theater. There are plenty of smaller flicks, a couple of rereleases, and one studio sequel playing on big screens. Browse our full guide below, because horror always hits harder when you're seeing it with an audience. (And don't worry - we've got a guide to all the horror you can stream this month too.)"
"Sage and Diego have rented a fancy house at the secluded and ominously named Bone Lake for what they hope will be a romantic getaway. However, another couple, Cin and Will, show up claiming that they booked the house too. They decide the place is big enough for all of them, but the double date soon turns into a psychological nightmare full of secrets, seduction, and twisty, pulpy, thrilling violence."
Horror achieved major theatrical success in 2025 with hits such as Final Destination: Bloodlines and 28 Years Later, yet the October lead-up to Halloween lacks many high-profile horror releases. The genre's box-office strength has shifted many major titles away from October, leaving fewer big-screen scares this month. Theatrical options still include smaller new films, a couple of rereleases, and one studio sequel. One plot follows Sage and Diego at a secluded Bone Lake house where a double date devolves into a psychological nightmare of secrets, seduction, and violent twists. Other offerings include a Justin Long film about violent coyote attacks and a new dog-centered horror featuring Indy.
