We call them 'horror movies' only as a shortcut to describe what we fear most. They feature movie stars we love and persuasive actors we root for, all fighting back against the most horrifying possibilities that the most skilled storytellers can dream up: monstrous creatures, powerful forces and horrible things that defy description but make our skin crawl.
Here's what we know about horror movies on the upcoming release calendar through 2022. As always, the following dates are subject to change.
