Get ready for a fright! 2025 is shaping up to be another stellar year for horror films, with both highly anticipated sequels and fresh, original stories hitting theaters and streaming platforms.
While 2024 may have been a terrific year for horror films, 2025 has plenty of more scary movies that may top what came before. The next 12 months won’t just bring audiences terrifying sequels like M3GAN 2.0 and 28 Years Later. Audiences will also witness new IPs being brought to life in films like The Monkey and Companion.
Next year should present a healthy balance of familiar and original stories to cinemas and streaming, and these seven movies currently stand out as the most highly-anticipated horror movies of 2025. 7. The Black Phone 2 — October 17, 2025 The Black Phone, the hit supernatural horror film from director Scott Derrickson, continues its chilling story with this long-awaited sequel. The Black Phone 2 will see the return of stars Mason Thames, Madeline Graw, and Ethan Hawke, the latter of whom played the terrifying serial killer, the Grabber. Considering the Grabber’s death at the end of the first film and the ending its young protagonists had, it seemed like the franchise couldn’t go any further. However, since ghosts are an important part of the story, the sequel seems prime to bring the Grabber back to unleash another haunting on Finney and Gwen. 6. Companion — January 31, 2025 Produced by Zach Cregger, writer/director of the horror film Barbarian, Companion features a romance that goes straight to hell when a group of friends get together at a lavish lakeside estate. The film’s darkly humorous trailer shares very little about the plot but does suggest plenty of blood and scares. It also hints at a tense and disturbing look into the toxic relationship shared by its two leads, igniting a powder keg of death and terror that must be seen to be believed. The film also features a lead performance from rising Scream Queen Sophie Thatcher, which should attract horror fans’ attention after her riveting performance in 2024’s Heretic
