October has come and gone, but there are plenty of horror movies still on the horizon. From holiday horror and beyond, we have lots to look forward to for the end of the year. Here's a list of all the new horror movies we are most looking forward to. Some of these will be in theaters, some will have limited theatrical release and a few of these titles will be exclusively streaming, so you can watch right from home.
The list runs the gamut from independent horrors like Where The Devil Roams and The Sacrifice Game to the long-awaited Thanksgiving from Eli Roth. We have a decent-sized collection of brand-new horror movies coming out between now and the end of 2023. We'll update and add more as they come in, but for now, we'd say there's plenty of new horror to look forward to as we make our way to the end of the year!
