The hype, not to put too fine a point on it, was real. Art the Clown, the sadistic villain of Terrifier 2, apparently had cinemagoers requiring (helpfully branded) sick bags. If you’re a horror fan, you might have had long lost friends get in touch at one point last year just to ask you if you had managed to catch a certain murderous clown movie. We haven’t been this excited about a project since The Conjuring!” Terrifier 3

Not to mention that after spending some time there, what we personally experienced was truly unnerving. “With the LaLaurie House we get to do exactly that… there is a wealth of documentation of a very dark and frightening past of true events. “We love writing films in which we get to tell true stories – incorporating moments that people can look up and discover did in fact happen,” they announced in a press release. Plus, they’re considering writing some of it from inside the house. Not content with just one movie, the Hayes brothers are going to tell multiple stories of the mansion throughout history, from its horrific beginnings, all the way to modern day. Her secret was only revealed when a fire broke out at her mansion and firefighters discovered some of her barely alive victims in diabolical states. Played by Kathy Bates in AHS, Madame LaLaurie was both a New Orleans socialite and horrific 19th century serial killer, responsible for the horrific torture, mutilation and murder of a number of Black slaves. The good news is that if you’ve done your horror homework and watched American Horror Story Coven, you’ll already know its most villainous resident. Once home to none other than Nic Cage, who allegedly only lasted one night of horrific screams and bumps in the night, this grim abode is said to be one of the most haunted locations in the world. The writers of the first two The Conjuring movies, Chad and Carey Hayes, have teamed up again and revealed an entire series of horror movies revolving around the infamous LaLaurie Mansion in New Orleans. Whether it’s a good thing or not, we now live in a world where entire franchises are announced before even the first movie has been released. As it stands, you’ve got a little longer to prep your garlic. The movie was initially meant to release in 2022 but New Line has since added a new 2023 release date and cruelly taken it away again. There's been no official reveal of a poster or trailer but the art above was revealed after a tie-in edition of the book was spotted online. The similar ‘terror in a small town’ theme of Salem’s Lot as a vampire holes up in the old house on the hill could mean very good things. The good news is that given that he is also responsible for the screenplay of both parts of IT, Dauberman already has keen King conversion chops. This means no pressure for Conjuring Universe staple Gary Dauberman on both directing and screenplay duties. For those of a certain age, one of the most terrifying horror moments lurks in Tobe Hooper’s Salem’s Lot TV series from 1979 as a vampire child arrives at a window asking to be let in…. Just when you didn’t think there could be any more Stephen King adaptations, another tome is added to the ‘time for a remake’ shelf. With the animatronics built by none other than Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, the above trailer hints at serious fuzzy terror to come. There have been multiple versions of the game over the years, complete with many layers of lore, but original game creator Scott Cawthorne has worked on the movie screenplay alongside The Wind director Emma Tammi. The only problem is that the seemingly innocent animatronics in place as children’s entertainment are actually murderous monsters, and you’ll have to keep an eye out for them across various security monitors. Ever wondered what the opposite of a cuddle might be? If you’ve been living under a rock shaped like a slice of pizza, FNaF in its original form was a survival horror game where you are faced with the job of overnight security at a popular pizza parlour. Not that we’d want to touch these horrific furry animatronics with a barge pole.

It’s been a very long time coming but Blumhouse’s Five Nights at Freddy’s movie is finally almost within our grasp.
