September 2026 brings a diverse lineup of horror content across film, television, and literature for enthusiasts of the genre. William Earl, Variety’s horror expert, has curated selections spanning theatrical releases, streaming debuts, and literary offerings that promise to deliver scares and thrills throughout the month.
Major theatrical releases highlight the month’s offerings. Director Zach Cregger’s video game adaptation “Resident Evil” arrives September 18, featuring actor Austin Abrams in a high-octane zombie narrative. Earlier in the month, Adam Wingard’s action-packed siege thriller “Onslaught” debuts September 4, with Adria Arjona playing a protective mother facing an extraordinary threat. Additional theatrical releases include “Fall 2: Deadpoint,” a sequel from the Spierig Brothers featuring survival horror in Thailand, and “Hope,” a creature feature from “The Wailing” director Na Hong-jin that premiered at Cannes.
Streaming platforms offer notable additions to September’s horror slate. Netflix debuts “Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story,” an anthology series entry featuring Sarah Paulson and an ensemble cast exploring the historical axe-wielding figure. Shudder subscribers can anticipate the third season of “The Creep Tapes,” continuing the serial killer saga, alongside “Bloody Tennis,” exploring sinister secrets at a European sports academy.
Documentaries and literary works round out the month’s offerings. “Black Zombie” examines how Haitian religious traditions influenced cinematic zombie imagery, while De Elizabeth’s novel “She Haunts Me Still” combines vampire lore with dark academia elements for adult readers.
