Upcoming Horror Movies of 2026: What We’re Excited (and Nervous) About With Guest Gigi Leal (RoomforScream)

It’s January, so we’re pulling out the horror crystal ball and looking ahead at what 2026 has in store. Friend of the Pod Gigi Leal (RoomforScream) joins us to go through a stacked list of upcoming horror movies and just… scream at each other like horror fans do.

We get into things we’re excited about, things we’re nervous about, and things we’re already overthinking way too much—covering titles like Evil Dead Burn from Sébastien Vaniček, Robert Eggers’ Werwulf, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple directed by Nia DaCosta, Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil, and more.

If you like looking ahead at upcoming horror, guessing wildly, and getting cautiously excited about movies we haven’t seen yet, this one’s for you sooo...
