Apple TV+ is officially adding some heavy hitters to its monster roster. Millie Brady (The Last Kingdom) and Pilou Asbæk (Foundation, Game of Thrones) have signed on as series regulars for Legendary’s upcoming, as-yet-untitled Monsterverse spin-off series. They join the previously announced lead, Wyatt Russell, who is back into the uniform of Young Lee Shaw from Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Exactly who Brady and Asbæk are playing is currently classified higher than a Monarch field report. Top Gun Meets Godzilla Helmed by showrunner Joby Harold, the series trades the modern era for the neon-and-paranoia of 1984. We follow a younger Colonel Lee Shaw (Russell) as he embarks on a top-secret mission behind enemy lines. His objective? To stop the Soviet Union from unleashing a horrific new Titan. One massive enough to turn the tide of the Cold War. Because apparently, nuclear deterrence wasn’t stressful enough without a giant lizard involved.

What happens when you trade the upbeat, bright-eyed chaos of daytime TV producing (The Drew Barrymore Show) for the dark, gritty, and hilarious world of indie film? You get Jordan Rowe’s Hamilton House—a Halloween-set comedy that proves struggling actors are far more terrifying than actual ghosts. Backed by a heavy-hitting executive producing team including Mayan Lopez (NBC’s Lopez vs. Lopez) and Tommy and Annie Smith (the minds who helped bring you the gore-soaked phenomenon Terrifier 2), this project bridges the gap between laugh-out-loud comedy and genuine love for the spooky season. The Pitch Set against the backdrop of a crisp New York Autumn, Hamilton House follows a group of young, desperate actors cohabitating in the ultimate urban horror setup—a cramped NYC basement apartment. When the hopelessly optimistic Zach discovers that a legendary horror film director is moving in down the block, he sees his ticket out of retail jobs and background extra gigs. Zach convinces his girlfriend and their increasingly

Hey there, creature-feature fiends. If you’re tired of the same old sharks, bears, and gators hogging the genre spotlight, it’s time to update your phobia list. A new apex predator is throwing its considerable weight around on Digital right now, and it answers to one name: Hungry. That’s right. Move over, Jaws. Horror is finally giving us what we actually deserve: killer hippos. This Isn’t Your Childhood Board Game Despite the title, Hungry is absolutely not a whimsical, live-action adaptation of the Hasbro game you played as a kid. There are no colorful plastic marbles here—only tragedy, terror, and a whole lot of missing limbs. The plot kicks off in classic horror fashion: a group of thrill-seeking tourists boards a riverboat tour through the Louisiana swamplands. Lured by the promise of an “exclusive adventure”—which, in horror movie speak, translates directly to “congratulations, you are now a buffet”—the group ends up way off the map and very much on the menu.

Dust off your beanies, practice your snotty, close-up apology monologues, and prepare to be deeply afraid of standard rock formations again. Lionsgate has officially announced that The Blair Witch Project is returning to theaters on September 24, 2027. To celebrate, they’ve dropped a wonderfully cryptic release date teaser video that is bound to trigger some serious late-90s motion sickness. The Horror Avengers Assemble This isn’t just another studio cash-grab trying to find teeth in the woods. Get this, Jason Blum (Blumhouse) and James Wan (Atomic Monster) are producing. They are joined by Roy Lee and Divide/Conquer’s Adam Hendricks and Greg Gilreath. Most importantly, they’ve secured the ultimate blessing. Original Blair Witch masterminds Eduardo Sánchez and Daniel Myrick, producer Gregg Hale, and iconic stars Joshua Leonard and Michael C. Williams are all locked in as executive producers.

Director Dan Trachtenberg has spent the last few years orchestrating high-stakes alien hunts in the Predator franchise (Prey, Predator: Badlands). But for his next trick, he’s swapping gory sci-fi decapitations for family-friendly animated chaos. Trachtenberg is officially headed back into the world of animation to direct a horror-comedy project for Paramount Animation, based on the graphic novel Freddy the 13th by Yehudi Mercado. The best way to pitch the premise? Imagine if Uncle Buck accidentally stumbled into a Friday the 13th movie and left with a body count. The Santa Clause, But Make It Murder According to Deadline, the upcoming animated feature—which is technically untitled at the moment—follows a family vacation that takes a sharp detour into a living nightmare when the fun-loving, highly irresponsible Uncle Freddy accidentally kills the local Boogeyman. As a result, he inadvertently inherits his supernatural powers. Yehudi Mercado’s original graphic novel pads out the hilarious, high-stakes misery: When an unlucky, horror-obsessed schlub accidentally terminates the
