The year has started frighteningly

The year started off pretty sluggish when it comes to horror movies, but now that the release calendar has ramped up, there are quite a few new horror movies worth checking out.

While we're still only a little more than halfway through 2024, it's hard not to feel like this year's horror theme is "fun" (if you're our kind of sick), or at least "playfulness." With killer swimming pools haunting former baseball pros, deadly monasteries and haunted talk shows, most of the best movies of the year so far do a delightful job of making their horror feel fresh and inventive, making us smile and scream in equal measure.
