The horror movie genre will be getting a boost in the fall months of 2021, with the titles set to release between September the end of November. After a year of uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was unclear how the movie industry would recover, especially when it comes to theatrical releases. Interestingly enough, the horror genre has helped immensely in jump-starting interest in returning to theaters. In addition, streamers continue to bolster their horror offerings, especially Netflix.
Because of lingering shutdowns, the heavy-hitting releases didn't start dropping until the spring months, specifically May. First, the Fear Street trilogy of movies.
Though the summer season technically ends in late September, for the purpose of this list, let's assume the fall season begins at the start of September. The movie industry had several notable titles leading up to this period, with August releases highlighted by Nia DaCosta's Candyman sequel (August 27th). That said, there's plenty of other horror movies still to come in September, October, and November. Here's every major horror movie coming out in the fall of 2021.
