The Best New Horror Movies Coming to Streaming Platforms This Week

Published

on

It’s everyone’s favorite time of the week. It’s time to discover which new terrifying horror films are coming to streaming platforms. Below is our carefully categorized list of all the new horror flicks that you will soon be able to enjoy. So, grab some snacks, this is a long one.

Impuratus-October 12th-VOD

Impuratus Movie Poster

Possession films are getting a little played out at this point. With even The Exorcist Believer getting pretty low critic review scores this week. But Impuratus may just have the added touch we’ve been looking for.

This isn’t just an exorcist film, it’s an LA Noir style exorcist film. Not to mention it also stars the amazing Tom Sizemore (The Relic) as the lead. Will this be enough to make it stand out in an oversaturated market? Stream Impuratus on October 12th to find out.


The Goldsmith-October 12th-VOD

The Goldsmith Poster

This is a tale as old as time. Criminals break into a house looking for a place to hide out only to find that the people that they have kidnapped are serial killers. Have we seen it before? Yes. But this time it’s in Italian, so it should be extra gory.

Written and directed by Vincenzo Ricchiuto (Milano in the Cage), this film promises to continue the Italian horror tradition of making you squirm whenever there is an eyeball in the shot. If you a fan of blood and gore, stream The Goldsmith on October 12th, via VOD.


In The Fire-October 13th-VOD

In The Fire Poster

Amber Heard has been catching a lot of media attention recently. And not all of it has been about her acting prowess. But this film isn’t about her. It’s about a little autistic boy who may also be the anti-Christ.

As someone who has autism, I am glad that we are finally getting the media representation that we deserve. Initial screenings of this film didn’t resonate with audiences very well, but horror rarely does. If you want to make your own assessment of the film, go stream In the Fire on October 13, via VOD.


15 Cameras-October 13th-VOD

15 Cameras Poster

The recent obsession with all things true crime is a bit of a weird Phenomenon. We idly sit and watch or listen to the most graphic depictions of the worst acts imaginable while we drink our morning coffee each day. And 15 Cameras looks like it has a few comments about all of this.

It asks a simple question of the audience. Would you buy a house that popped up on a true crime podcast? This film seems to be equal parts social commentary and gory slasher. If that sounds awesome to you, then go stream 15 Cameras on October 13th, via VOD.


The Puppetman-October 13th-Shudder

The Puppetman Poster

I get excited every time there is a Shudder original on these weekly round ups. They aren’t always the best films, but they normally provide something I haven’t seen a thousand times before.

The Puppetman looks to follow in that line of originality. This film offers us a different approach to the demonic spirit subgenre. In this film it doesn’t just possess people, it has the power to turn them into puppets. If you want to see what that would even look like, stream The Puppetman on October 13th, via Shudder.


Dark Harvest-October 13th-VOD

Dark Harvest Poster

Based on the book of the same name, Dark Harvest offers us a rare treat. A horror movie that’s actually set around Halloween. You would think that the genre would be saturated by these kinds of films but there aren’t as many of them as you would think.

Think of Dark Harvest like an apocalyptic version of Children of the Corn and you will have some idea of what this film is about. If you are a fan of novel adaptations, go stream Dark Harvest on October 13th, via VOD.


The Conference-October 13th-Netflix

The Conference Poster

Netflix original horror flicks are a hard group to categorize. They gave us Haunting of Hill House, which is considered one of the best horror miniseries of all time. But they also created The Open House, which is one of the worst horror films ever made, so it’s hard to say what to expect from the studio.

The Conference looks like it may land somewhere in the middle of these films. Providing viewers with a standard office slasher flick. If you are a fan of some who don it action, go stream The Conference on October 13th, via Netflix.


The Bell Keeper-October 13th-VOD

The Bell Keeper Poster

This trailer has every horror trope there is. We have the dismissive teens searching out a haunted location, someone is looking for a lost relative, and they even have a harbinger warning them not to go to said haunted location.

Some people may take that as a red flag, I say bring it on. The more tropes you shove into a horror flick, the more fun I get to have naming the references. If you want something that feels familiar, go stream The Bell Keeper on October 13th, via VOD.


Herd-October 13th-VOD

Herd Movie Poster

If a FrightFest London selection means anything to you, then you are going to want to watch Herd. This film is a mashup of queer horror, southern gothic, and somehow also features plague zombies.

That may sound like too many themes shoved into a short runtime. But I put my faith in the good people at Frightfest, if they say it’s worth watching, I’ll be there. If you are a fan of indie horror, go stream Herd on October 13th, via VOD.


Dear David-October 13th-VOD

Dear David Poster

Well, here is one no one would have predicted, a horror movie centered around Buzzfeed. For those unaware, Buzzfeed is traditionally labeled a millennial website, and not a good one at that. It is widely known for producing those Harry Potter personality tests.

This film is somehow inspired by true events. Inspired by events that happened when a Buzzfeed comic illustrator became haunted by an online commenter. If that sounds as bonkers to you as it does to me, stream Dear David on October 13th, via VOD.

Unbelievably Cool ‘Scream’ Trailer But Re-Imagined As A 50s Horror Flick

Published

on

Ever wonder what your favorite horror movies would look like if they had been made in the 50s? Thanks to We Hate Popcorn But Eat It Anyway and their use of modern technology now you can!

The YouTube channel reimagines modern movie trailers as mid-century pulp flicks using AI software.

What is really neat about these bite-sized offerings is that some of them, mostly the slashers go against what cinemas had to offer over 70 years ago. Horror movies back then involved atomic monsters, scary aliens, or some sort of physical science gone awry. This was the era of the B-movie where actresses would put their hands against their faces and let out over-dramatic screams reacting to their monstrous pursuer.

With the advent of new color systems such as DeLuxe and Technicolor, movies were vibrant and saturated in the 50s enhancing primary colors that electrified the action happening on screen, bringing a whole new dimension to films using a process called Panavision.

“Scream” reimagined as a 50s horror movie.

Arguably, Alfred Hitchcock upended the creature feature trope by making his monster a human in Psycho (1960). He used black and white film to create shadows and contrast which added suspense and drama to every setting. The final reveal in the basement would probably not have been if he had used color.

Jump to the 80s and beyond, actresses were less histrionic, and the only emphasized primary color was blood red.

What is also unique about these trailers is the narration. The We Hate Popcorn But Eat It Anyway team has captured the monotone narration of 50s movie trailer voiceovers; those over-dramatic faux news anchor cadences that emphasized buzz words with a sense of urgency.

That mechanic died out long ago, but luckily, you can see what some of your favorite modern horror movies would look like when Eisenhower was in office, developing suburbs were replacing farmland and cars were made with steel and glass.

Here are some other noteworthy trailers brought to you by We Hate Popcorn But Eat It Anyway:

“Hellraiser” reimagined as a 50s horror movie.

“It” reimagined as a 50s horror movie.

The free streaming service Tubi is a great place to scroll when you’re unsure what to watch. They are not sponsored or affiliated with iHorror. Still, we really appreciate their library because it’s so robust and has many obscure horror movies so rare you can’t find them anywhere in the wild except, if you’re lucky, in a moist cardboard box at a yard sale.
