10 Horror Franchises Set For A Huge 2024

7. The Strangers

The Strangers Chapter 1
Lionsgate

By the time all is said and done with this year, we may have actually had three new Strangers movies.

With all three pictures filmed at the same time, a Strangers trilogy is on the way from director Renny Harlin (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, Deep Blue Sea, Die Hard 2). Titled The Strangers: Chapter 1, the first of these films is currently booked in for a May release, but there's rumblings that all three legs of this trilogy will be released across 2024.

Existing within the same continuity of the prior two movies, The Strangers: Chapter 1 will find a couple's stay at a remote Airbnb disrupted by the nefarious trio of Man in the Mask, Pin-Up Girl, and Dollface. Riverdale's Madelaine Petsch and Teen Wolf's Froy Gutierrez are playing this unfortunate couple, with the trilogy set to explore the impact a run-in with the masked killers has on someone, whilst also looking to delve a little into the backstory of those villains.
