This Fall and Winter we’ve got a treasure trove of new terrors touching down on our televisions. Some from our favorites, some new faces but a whole lot of scares regardless.

Starting with –

#10: Generation Z

Written and Directed by Ben Wheatley (Kill List, In the Earth), Generation Z, Wheatley’s latest foray into the zombie genre, is a darkly comedic and satirical exploration of and intergenerational trauma. The series kicks off with an army convoy crashing outside a care home, triggering a chemical leak that transforms elderly residents into ravenous zombies. These undead pensioners, representing the older generation, literally consume the younger generation, who are already grappling with mounting student debt, poor job prospects, and the grim reality of an unattainable future. Set against a backdrop of Brexit-era discontent and the echoes of the COVID-19 pandemic, Generation Z cleverly mirrors the real-world tensions between generations and the barriers that see little in terms of being broken.

#8: Grotesquerie

In Ryan Murphy’s newest horror series, a detective and a nun delve into a string of brutal crimes that strike close to home, all while battling their own personal struggles. As they dig deeper, they unravel a dark and complex web that only leads to more questions than answers.

With most of this series kept tightly underwraps, it will be interesting to see just how far the rabbit hole goes for these two, whether it’s dealing with their own personal demons or very real ones, we can’t wait to catch it. And being seated for Niecy sort of goes with out saying.

#7: Uzumaki – Aki Itami (Screenplay), Junji Ito (Manga) and Directed by Junji Ito, Directed by Hiroshi Nagahama

Lauded as Ito’s “Magnus Opus”, Uzumaki is his nod to turning symbols typically viewed positively in Japanese culture, and turning them into something sinister. The story follows an entire town of protagonists as they struggle against a mysterious, overpowering force beyond their control from spiral shapes seen in the clouds, everyday objects, hair, insects, skin. and spiral (haha) into madness. Uzumaki remains in the Young Adult Library Services Association’s list of the “Top 10 Graphic Novels for Teens” and 24 years since the release of it’s omnibus, its still going strong as one of the most disturbing horror stories in the world.

#6: Teacup

Confined to a farm in rural Georgia, a group of neighbors must overcome their differences and band together to confront a mysterious and deadly threat.

Anytime you have an rural anything in horror, it’s bound to be hellish, isolating and downright uncomfortable. Pile on the residents already having a mass of differences and you’ve got a boiling point for disaster. As with Grotesquerie, these creators have smartly kept tight-lipped on the further storylines, creating even more dread for this far-from-tight-knit group.

#5: Hysteria!

Set during the 1980s Satanic panic, a lovely time for misinformation and fervent finger-pointing, the disappearance of a beloved varsity quarterback sparks rumors of occult influence throughout the town. Sensing the opportunity, Dylan Campbell (Emjay Anthony), Jordy (Chiara Aurelia), and Spud (Kezii Curtis)—three outcasts in the struggling heavy metal band Dethkrunch—rebrand themselves as a Satanic metal group to capitalize on the town’s hysteria. Their new identity quickly turns them into the prime targets of a witch hunt, as the town’s paranoia escalates and the trio finds themselves in deeper danger than they’d hoped.

Written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón (Y Tu Mama Tambien, Gravity) and based on the novel by Renee Knight, Disclaimer follows Catherine Ravenscroft (Cate Blanchett), a successful and respected television documentary journalist whose work has been built on revealing the concealed transgressions of long-respected institutions. When an intriguing novel written by a widower (Kevin Kline) appears on her bedside table, she is horrified to realize she is a key character in a story that she had hoped was long buried in the past. A story that reveals her darkest secret. A secret she thought was hers alone.

We can’t wait to see it all come crashing down for Ravenscroft in this psychological thriller. Disclaimer was recently shown in two installments at the 81st Venice Film Festival in August 2024.
