20 Horror Movies You'll Never Get To See

Don't ever count on seeing these horror movies.

By Jack Pooley /

Horror has consistently proven itself to be the most reliable of all film genres where audiences are concerned - as the years and decades past and trends change, horror fans will just keep turning up because they love it so damn much.

And so it's little surprise that innumerable horror films are produced ever year, the market flooded with everything from big-budget studio fare to the scrappiest micro-budget, DIY horror flicks.

Yet despite the apparently insatiable demand for more horror content, some films still don't get made for one reason or another - no matter that many sure would love to see them.

And that's absolutely the case with these 20 horror films, each of which were discussed, announced, and in one case even shot already. But you're almost certainly never going to see them for yourself.

Perhaps there's too much business and legal red tape getting in the way, or no studio wants to stump up the hefty budget, or the filmmakers are simply too busy with other projects. 

Whatever the reason, don't expect you'll ever get to see these prospective horror movies with your own two eyes...

20. Hereditary Prequel

Ari Aster's incredible feature debut Hereditary well and truly felt like a one-off, because while it left the audience with many questions to ponder, it also told a complete story.

Aster's films since haven't suggested he has much interest in franchising out any of his movies, though in a recent Q&A he unexpectedly revealed that he's actually written the script for a Hereditary prequel.

But don't get your hopes up, because in the very next breath Aster confirmed that he didn't have any active plans to develop it, stating that it "never feels like the right time."

And while it's certainly a tantalising tidbit, it's also probably for the best that Aster focuses on making his incredibly unique original movies rather than raking back over his most commercially successful film.

The Hereditary prequel might be a good one to keep in his back pocket, though, if A24 ever tires of bankrolling his polarising box office flops like Beau Is Afraid and Eddington.
