20 Horror Sequels That Were Just Announced

There's simply no film genre that loves sequels quite like horror. Even if it doesn't actually make much sense for another movie, those who dug the first one just might come back for a second, third, fourth, and maybe even fifth helping.

The vast majority of successful horror films end up with at least a sequel or two - or ten - and so it's little surprise that more horror sequels are announced than even the most die-hard genre fan can ever keep up with. And in case you missed them, these 20 horror sequels were all just recently announced.

They range from totally expected follow-ups to hit horrors to more surprising sequels to horror films that did just OK at the box office - or perhaps even flopped entirely.

Some have actually already been shot, while others are set to go before cameras soon, and of course there are those that are still a ways off from entering production proper.

But one way or another, each of these films is seemingly set to happen within the next few years.

Since its resurrection in 2021, the V/H/S horror anthology franchise has been an annual fixture around Spooky Season, and though the quality of the installments has varied wildly, even the worst entries typically still deliver a short or two worth checking out.

But with a new V/H/S film still not being announced by the start of this year, just as it was confirmed that the franchise had been acquired by Spooky Pictures and Image Nation Abu Dhabi, it seemed like 2026 might serve as a fallow year for the franchise.

Yet in early August, V/H/S/Mixtape was finally confirmed to release this October, with segments to be directed by Ernest Dickerson (Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight), RZA (The Man with the Iron Fists), Flying Lotus (Ash), and David Moreau (Mads).

One of the shorts will feature puppets from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, and with this anthology being audio-centric, heavy metal band GWAR has been confirmed to appear.
