6 must-see horror movies coming to theaters in September 2024

As a seasoned movie enthusiast with a penchant for all things horrifying and suspenseful, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming horror movie lineup in September 2024!

As we move closer to the end of August, horror enthusiasts should definitely mark their calendars for a must-see horror movie. The film is “Afraid”, a new sci-fi horror production featuring John Cho, Katherine Waterston, Havana Rose Liu, Lukita Maxwell, David Dastmalchian, and Keith Carradine. You can catch it in theaters starting August 30, so secure your tickets now to ensure you don’t miss out!

August was fantastic for horror enthusiasts, with the release of spine-tingling movies like “Trap”, “Cuckoo”, “Alien: Romulus”, “Strange Darling” and most recently, “Afraid”. However, it seems that September is set to outshine August, promising an even more thrilling experience.

Here’s a suggestion for paraphrasing the given text in a more natural and easy-reading style:

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Release date: Sept. 6, 2024

36 years after its original release, a sequel to the classic horror comedy “Beetlejuice” (1988) is finally here! The eagerly anticipated film titled “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” is set to hit theaters in early September.

In this movie, we’ll witness the reappearance of Winona Ryder as the grown-up Lydia Deetz, Catherine O’Hara as Delia Deetz, and Michael Keaton portraying the main character Beetlejuice. Newcomers to the cast include Jenna Ortega from Wednesday, Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, Willem Dafoe, along with others.

Here’s the movie’s synopsis via the official Warner Bros website:

Beetlejuice is back! After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia’s life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened. With trouble brewing in both realms, it’s only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice’s name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem.

The Front Room

Release date: Sept. 6, 2024

On the same day as “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” another chilling horror movie is set to grace theaters. This time it’s “The Front Room,” a gripping psychological horror film from A24.
