15 Most Anticipated Upcoming Horror Movies

12. Rings

The last time a sequel to The Ring was in multiplexes, the idea of a ghost who uses a videotape to kill people didn€™t seem so dated, so the third installment in the franchise must be a prequel, right, gang? No, because director F Javier Gutierrez promises his movie will pick up after the events of 2005€™s The Ring Two and will once again feature Samara, the long-haired ghost with a serious vitamin deficiency. Most terrifying of all, the film will also have a €œteen friendly€ rating. The plot focuses on a different set of characters, so Aimee Teegarden (Scream 4) stands in for Naomi Watts as lead damsel in distress, with support from Johnny Galecki, aka Leonard Hofstadter in The Big Bang Theory. The script is co-written by Batman & Robin€™s Akiva Goldsman, and if this all sounds like a joke, be aware that the film is scheduled for release on April 1, 2016.
