If you’re into spider horror, you’re in luck this week. Two brand new arachnid nightmares released this week, one available on Digital outlets at home and one now playing only in theaters.
And they’re not the only new horror movies this week has offered up…
Here are the new horror movies that released September 7 – September 13, 2026.
Cineverse, Bloody Disgusting’s parent company, has opened up a Portal to Hell from within a laundromat. The indie horror comedy was released onto Digital this past Tuesday.
Trey Holland (The Diabolical), Keith David (The Thing, They Live), and Richard Kind (“Spin City,” Beau Is Afraid) star in the film from writer and director Woody Bess.
Debt collector Dunn (Holland) lives a life of routine until a portal to hell opens in his local laundromat, followed by a demon (Kind) sent to drag his neighbor, Mr. Bobshank (David), to hell for an unpaid debt. Helping people settle their debts is Dunn’s specialty, but when the demon offers a sinister deal—three souls in exchange for Bobshank’s freedom—he refuses.
However, when one of his debtors follows him to the laundromat, the line between right and wrong begins to blur, forcing Dunn to make a choice that could cost him his own soul.
It’s influencers vs. spiders in Spider Island, now available on Digital.
The eight-legged horror-comedy follows a group of social media influencers who go to the launch of a new hotel on a tropical island, where they encounter deadly spiders.
Christopher Smith (Triangle, Creep, Black Death) directed Spider Island from a script by Christopher Jolley (The Price We Pay) and David Quantick (“Veep”).
Rose Williams (“Reign”), Tim McInnerny (“Game of Thrones”), Owen Warner (“Hollyoaks”), Andy Nyman (Wicked), Carlotta Banat (“3 Body Problem”), and Anuschka Van Lent (Natty Knocks) star alongside real-life influencers Avani Gregg and Lena Mahfouf.
The era of Satanic Panic is explored in Carry the Darkness, now available on Digital.
Set in 1993, Carry the Darkness follows Travis Baldwin, a misunderstood teenage metalhead living in the shadow of the Satanic Panic. When a mysterious entity begins wreaking havoc in his small town, Travis becomes the prime suspect. Hunted by suspicion while the true evil remains hidden, he must protect himself and his friends before paranoia and darkness consume them all.
“Blending supernatural horror, coming-of-age drama, and small-town mystery, Carry the Darkness captures the paranoia of the Satanic Panic through the lens of a generation raised on heavy metal, The X-Files, and Twin Peaks. Atmospheric, emotionally resonant, and steeped in ’90s nostalgia, the film explores the high cost of moral panic—and the monsters it creates.”
Joel Meyers, Jaden Gant, Helen Laser, Hollis Fox, Autumn Breaud, and David Boldt star.
From Redline Releasing, The Spirit Lock hit Digital this past Tuesday.
Desperate to save their possessed son, a fractured couple turns to a cursed Pagan device, unleashing a greater evil that threatens their sanity, their marriage, and their souls.
The Spirit Lock stars Joe Anderson, Yasmin Al-Khudhairi and Tim Downie.
Steven Fierberg directed the indie possession horror movie.
From Mubi and acclaimed writer-director Na Hong-jin (The Wailing) comes Hope, a South Korean monster movie that was a box office sensation in its native Korea.
The film is now playing in theaters here in the United States.
Set in the remote South Korean village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok and officer Sung-ae are called to find a mysterious creature that has wreaked havoc on the village.
In the nearby forest, a coterie of hunters, including Sung- ki, set out to track the beast and find themselves hunted instead. But all is not as it seems, and perceptions can be misleading.
Hwang Jung-min (The Wailing), Zo In-sung (“Moving”), Hoyeon (“Squid Game”), Taylor Russell (Bones and All), Cameron Britton (“The Umbrella Academy”), Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina), and Michael Fassbender (Prometheus) star in Na Hong-jin’s Hope.
From the mind of “Impractical Jokers” star James “Murr” Murray, the giant spider horror movie Don’t Move – an adaptation of Murr’s own novel – is now playing in theaters.
The creature feature adapts the 2020 novel from Murray and Darren Wearmouth.
In Don’t Move, a church group’s annual retreat turns deadly when they wander into the wrong part of the Ozark wilderness, and a massive spider monster starts picking them off one by one.
Lyndsy Fonseca (Kick-Ass), Russell “Russ” Vitale, and Tom Cavanagh (The Flash) star alongside Hunter King (Life in Pieces), Rob Riggle (The Hangover), and Joseph Lee Anderson (Young Rock). T-Pain, Matt Biedel, and Brian Quinn are also featured.
New documentary Black Zombie traces the Haitian origins and Black spiritual traditions that were distorted or erased in early zombie cinema, and it’s now playing in select theaters.
Black Zombie arrived in NYC and LA theaters today courtesy of Kino Lorber.
From writer and director Maya Annik Bedward, Black Zombie digs beneath the blood-soaked spectacle of modern horror to uncover the zombie’s buried and unsettling origins.
In Black Zombie, “Director Maya Annik Bedward traces the evolution of the zombie from colonial Haiti to contemporary Hollywood, reconsidering iconic films like White Zombie, Night of the Living Dead, and The Serpent and the Rainbow alongside archival footage, vérité scenes, and interviews with cultural historians, artists, and genre legends including Yves-Grégory Francois, Mambo Labelle Déesse, Slash, Tom Savini, and Zandashé Brown. Part cultural reckoning, part horror remix, Black Zombie exposes how a figure born from enslavement, spiritual belief, and resistance was transformed into one of pop culture’s most profitable monsters.“
Executive producers for the documentary include music legend Slash.
