Spooky season is here and there’s no shortage of scary new stories to devour, from twisty thrillers and Lovecraftian frights to bloodthirsty aliens and macabre stop-motion delights.

#Barbarian, the best horror movie of the year has arrived on streaming! Zach Cregger’s twisty classic in the making about a woman who finds her sketchy Airbnb is a must watch. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Pair “Barbarian” with James Wan’s “Malignant” or make it an over-the-top Halloween triple feature by adding this year’s “Orphan: First Kill” to your playlist. A new era of bonkers original horror is upon us. latimes.com/entertainment-…
With #Deadstream, filmmaking duo Vanessa and Joseph Winter bring a lively comic mania to the found footage genre by telling their story from the perspective of a self-absorbed and disgraced YouTuber spending the night in a purportedly haunted house. latimes.com/entertainment-…
If you prefer your horror served at peak bleak, consider director Christian Tafdrup’s #SpeakNoEvil, a taut psychological thriller about Danish couple who befriend a Dutch couple on vacation. A true chiller of the season that will leave you unsettled. latimes.com/entertainment-…
The new #Hellraiser, which comes with Barker’s seal of approval, features a delicious new Pinhead played by Jamie Clayton and fleshy design updates for The Priest’s sadistic posse of interdimensional Cenobites. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Ti West’s “X” prequel “Pearl” — diving into the backstory of Mia Goth’s titular ax murderer as a starry-eyed young woman with showbiz dreams circa World War I — was so unsettling it kept Martin Scorsese up at night. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Consider taking a cue from Marty and double-feature West’s most audacious work to date and delight in Goth’s virtuosic lead performances — some of the best of the year in any genre. latimes.com/entertainment-…
“The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “Coraline” director Henry Selick returns to stop-motion with “Wendell & Wild,” a horror comedy starring Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key as a pair of bumbling demons. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Inuit girls take on bloodthirsty, shape-shifting aliens in “Slash/Back,” Nyla Innuksuk’s appealing directorial debut. Lively sci-fi high jinks and entertaining creature feature thrills ensue as the film’s young stars put their own stamp on the genre. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Watch closely as Innuksuk pays homage to the late Indigenous genre maestro Jeff Barnaby, whose dystopian sci-fi short film “File Under Miscellaneous” makes a cameo — a reminder that trailblazing stories have unknowable impacts on generations that follow. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Walking home one day after a humiliating prank, Sara witnesses her tormenters’ brutal kidnapping and must decide: What should she do about it?
Where Carlota Pereda’s winding moral thriller “Piggy” goes from there is unexpected and surprisingly funny. latimes.com/entertainment-…
“Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities” delivers eight handsome, hour-long terror tales just in time for Halloween and features one of the most gorgeously photographed and acted pieces of horror cinema of the year. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Utilizing macro photography and ASMR-esque sound design, the immersive, experimental horror “Masking Threshold” pulls you down a rabbit hole where Reddit theorizing meets Lovecraftian fixation, paranoia bubbling over into a disturbing sensory experience. latimes.com/entertainment-…
