3 Godzilla: King of the Monsters

The scoop: In this sequel to 2014's Godzilla (and the 35th film in the Godzilla franchise), members of a crypto-zoological agency deal with not just Godzilla, but Mothra, Rodan, and the three-headed King Ghidorah as well as they all face off in the ultimate battle for mythical beast supremacy. The trailer looks epic, but nothing is quite as epic as the flick's stacked cast.

4 Ma

The scoop: What could be better than a middle-aged woman who lets teenagers throw parties at her house (especially when that woman is Octavia Spencer)? But like most things, if it sounds too good to be true, then it usually is, and you better believe that Sue Ann's hospitality takes a weird turn. Tate Taylor (who previously worked with Spencer for The Help) is directing, and the trailer alone might just give you nightmares.
Release date: May 31

5 The Dead Don't Die

The scoop: When zombies terrorize a small town, three police officers and a bizarre morgue expert decide to work together to take the undead army down. Jim Jarmusch directed this zombie comedy, and when we say that we've never seen so many A-list actors in one horror movie cast, we're not kidding. Just see how many you can spot in the trailer.

6 Child's Play

The scoop: There have been a ton of sequels, but after years of uncertainty, a full-on reboot is finally happening, with a plot that sounds similar to the 1988 original about a single mother, her son, and the worst present ever: a killer doll. Lars Klevberg is directing, and Parks and Recreation's Aubrey Plaza and Atlanta's Brian Tyree Henry will costar. Be sure to watch the trailer for some goosebumps.

8 Annabelle Comes Home

The scoop: This flick serves as a sequel to 2014's Annabelle and 2017's Annabelle: Creation, with Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga reprising their roles as demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren. In the third instalment, the Warrens will attempt to control the possessed doll by locking her away behind sacred glass, but unfortunately, a priest's holy blessing is not going to be enough to keep Annabelle imprisoned. Apparently, this one is so scary that even the cast got freaked out while filming.
