Halloween 2023 looks better than ever, or excuse us, horrifying than ever, when it comes to some spooky new movie and television releases.
Yes, that’s right, with each year that passes, the horror genre keeps getting better and better and makes us want to cosy up under the covers with the lights dimmed while challenging ourselves to see how much of a scare we can handle. Whether it’s a possessed child in dire need of assistance, an old curse being unleashed in a small town, a good ol’ slasher or the next instalment of our favourite horror movie franchise, we are so ready.
First of all, nothing says Halloween more than the new Exorcist movie, which stars the brilliant Ellen Burstyn, who was in the original 1973 movie. Then we have the tenth instalment of the Saw movie, and we need to catch up with what Jigsaw has been up to. But if you find it challenging to stay up to date with movie franchises, then there’s a whole load of new movies, such as Five Nights at Freddy’s, which will ensure that we’ll never sign up for a late shift ever. Then there are some great teen offerings, such as Totally Killer on Prime Video and the new Goosebumps reboots.
Mike Flanagan also returns to Netflix’s horror scene with his new limited series The Fall of the House of Usher, or if you’re looking for something a bit different, i.e., the extraterrestrial, catch Kaitlyn Dever in Disney+’s No One Will Save You. Or, for something a bit lighter, Kim Kardashian stars alongside Emma Watson in the new season of American Horror Story.
So carve out the pumpkins, light the candles, and get comfortable for the best nine new film and show releases for Halloween 2023.
