Hey, Scare Freaks, the Halloween 2017 season is here! Which means the next three months are jam-packed with the best horror films from the major Hollywood studios. If you’re anything like us, this is your favorite time of year. We invite you to watch our new show THE SCARE GUY, below, where we preview all the new horror films coming out before Halloween. Enjoy!
Here are the film trailers for the biggest horror films through Halloween…and our KILLER RATINGS of which ones we’re most excited about seeing. Here’s how our ratings work, on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being “painful,” (in other words, we’re not very interested in seeing it), and 5 being “killer,” which is the top mark.
September 1 – JACKALS
Set in the 1980s, an estranged family hires a cult deprogrammer to take back their teenage son from a murderous cult, but find themselves under siege when the cultists surround their cabin, demanding the boy back.

Our interest level (blah).
JUST FOR LAUGHS… October 20 — Boo 2! A Madea Halloween
Okay, okay, this isn’t a horror flick, but it still has fun with Halloween and all our favorite horror-movie tropes. Not sure I’ll be busting down the door to get to this one, but it’ll make a great Netflix night. Madea, Bam, and Hattie venture to a haunted campground and the group must literally run for their lives when monsters, goblins, and the boogeyman are unleashed.
