Horror movies in theaters — September 2026

In September 2026, 20 horror films are playing on American screens we track — 677 showings at 42 cinemas in 33 cities across 13 states. Those cinemas are every Alamo Drafthouse market plus the single-site repertory houses whose calendars we read; AMC, Regal and Cinemark are not counted, so a wide release is playing on more screens than the number beside it here.

Revivals, repertory bookings and one-night bring-backs — the reason this page exists. Dates and cinemas come straight from each cinema's own listing; we do not know, and so do not claim, which print or restoration is being shown.
