This is shaping up to be a pretty scary year – and we're not talking about the upcoming presidential election.
In 2023, Aussie flick "Talk to Me" raised the bar on the possession film and the title robot of "M3GAN" won over our meme-loving hearts. 2024 brings a variety of horror, from franchise fare and devilish chillers to vampire kids and the return of Art the Clown. Prequel "A Quiet Place: Day One" (in theaters June 28) revisits the early days of that fan-favorite series, and you're getting two Shyamalans this year: M. Night has the thriller "Trap" (Aug. 2) and his daughter Ishana makes her directorial debut with creature feature "The Watchers" (June 7). And we've got the exclusive debut right here of the trailer for "Tarot" (May 10), about youngsters fated to die after playing with some sinister tarot cards.
But you don't need to be a fortune teller to know there's some eerie stuff on the way to theaters. Here are 10 fright fests you'll want to check out in the coming months:
'Lisa Frankenstein' (Feb. 9)
In the Tim Burton-esque horror comedy set in 1989, Lisa (Kathryn Newton) is an outcast who discovers a lightning storm has resurrected the corpse of a lovelorn Victorian dude (Cole Sprouse), and the two embark on a killer quest to fix him up with new body parts.

'Stopmotion' (Feb. 23)
Following the death of her overbearing mother, a stop-motion animator (Aisling Franciosi) creates macabre puppets for a new movie about a scared girl being hunted by a dark figure and is driven mad when the creepy characters come to terrifying life.
'Imaginary' (March 8)
DeWanda Wise stars as a woman who returns to her childhood home and realizes the imaginary friend she had back in the day is ticked off it got left behind, and now it's threatening her stepdaughter (Pyper Braun) in the form of an old teddy bear named Chauncey.
'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' (March 22)
Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson reprise their ghostbusting roles from the 1980s franchise – and even Slimer's back! Director Gil Kenan's latest installment finds the iconic firehouse and the rest of New York City iced over, paranormal style, courtesy of an evil force let loose by the discovery of an ancient artifact.
'Late Night With the Devil' (March 22)
On Halloween night 1977, fictional talk-show host Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian) struggles in the ratings against Johnny Carson and just lost his wife so he needs a win. Jack brings on a parapsychologist (Laura Gordon) and a teen who survived a Satanic church's mass suicide to goose ratings but instead unleashes evil.
'The First Omen' (April 5)
In 1976, "The Omen" centered on a young boy as the son of Satan. The new prequel stars Nell Tiger Free as a young American woman sent to begin a life of service at a Roman church and her belief system is shaken to its core when she discovers the unholiest of conspiracies: to birth the Antichrist.
'Abigail' (April 19)
Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens and Kathryn Newton star as criminals tasked to kidnap the ballerina daughter (Alisha Weir) of a wealthy underworld figure and keep an eye on her overnight at a mansion. The job goes awry for everyone when the girl reveals herself as a vampire and gleefully murders her captors one by one.
'Tarot' (May 10)
Avantika ("Mean Girls") and Jacob Batalon ("Spider-Man: Homecoming") are among the young stars in this horoscope horror. College friends pull a major no-no of tarot readings when they break the "never use someone else's deck" rule, receive seriously bad fortunes and then fight to escape the freaky fates doled out by the cursed cards.
'Nosferatu' (Dec. 25)
Directed by Robert Eggers ("The Witch"), the remake of the 1922 horror classic stars Lily-Rose Depp as a young woman who becomes the object of desire for a dangerous vampire (Bill Skarsgård). The gothic tale features a stellar cast including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Willem Dafoe, Emma Corrin and Nicholas Hoult.
'Terrifier 3' (holiday season)
Director Damien Leone's last "Terrifier" went viral in 2022 with reports of audiences fainting and vomiting over the film's graphic violence and brutal kills. That's bad news for most movies but not a slasher series: Indie horror icon Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton), the demonic silent villain with the face paint and mini top hat, returns in the third film for Christmastime shenanigans.
