15 Most Anticipated Upcoming Horror Movies

Who you gonna call?

Before the door slams slut on 2015, hopefully hitting it in the ass on the way out, here€™s a prediction: 2016 will be 1992 in different clothes. Consider the evidence: there€™s a new Batman movie, The X Files is back on TV and Clinton is running for President. Also, the horror movies slated for release are mostly sequels and remakes. 1992 gave us such culturally enriching experiences as House IV, Prom Night III: The Last Kiss and the awesome Witchcraft 4: The Virgin Heart, and while 2016€™s line-up isn€™t quite that bad, it still leaves much to be desired. Among the least desirable titles is a remake of The Blob, from the director of the When A Stranger Calls remake. Amityville 1992: It€™s About Time was the 6th film in the haunted house franchise, and guess what? Not only is another Amityville film due in 2016, but if you€™re not a fan of things that go bump in the night, then the new year would be a good time to go into hibernation. Scratch the ghosts and the franchise movies, and there isn€™t a whole lot going on at your local multiplex in 2016. For anyone who thinks it€™s bad form to write off a year before it€™s even begun, however, here€™s two words for you: Ghostbusters reboot.
