Your 2025 Summer Horror Guide

Horror movies are not just for Halloween! Studios have figured out that summer is a great time to release scary movies due to a combination of factors: more audience availability, strategic timing, and the genre's consistent profitability. Demand for horror peaks in June, as moviegoers look for films that get them out of the summer heat and into air-conditioned theaters. 

And summer 2025 is stacked with sequels, reboots, and bold original horror movies. Whether you're into slashers, supernatural stories, or high-concept psychological horror, these summer releases have something for everyone. 

Weapons
From Barbarian director Zach Cregger comes Weapons, a chilling new horror film shrouded in mystery. It’s described as "a multi-story horror epic," and early buzz says it will challenge genre expectations.

Together
Starring real-life couple Alison Brie and Dave Franco, Together is a summer body horror film that explores themes of love, transformation, and co-dependence. 

Bring Her Back
From the minds behind Talk to Me, this heady and deeply emotional horror film dives deep into grief and the supernatural. It’s unnerving and already being buzzed about as one of the year's most haunting films.

The Conjuring: Last Rites
The closing chapter of the main Conjuring series, Last Rites is a farewell for Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine (Vera Farmiga). As one of the genre’s biggest franchises, Last Rites is sure to be a summer box office event.
