Jordan Peele’s Devilish Sports Horror and the Chilling Lineup Ahead
If you thought high school football’s “hell week” was brutal, wait until you hear this. The term usually means a week of relentless drills—running until your legs give out, pushing through endless push-ups, and suffering under the blistering sun until you’re drained of every drop of energy. But in Jordan Peele’s upcoming horror film HIM , “hell week” takes on a far more literal meaning. This isn’t just about sweat and sore muscles—it’s about meeting the devil himself on the training field.
Produced by Peele and directed by Justin Tipping, HIM follows rising NFL quarterback Cam Cade, played by Tyriq Withers, who gets a second chance at greatness after a violent setback. His golden ticket comes from his idol, legendary player Isaiah White—played by Marlon Wayans in a shockingly dark and dramatic role. The catch? Isaiah’s private training camp is far from a normal workout facility. Alongside his enigmatic wife Elsie (Julia Fox), Isaiah draws Cam into a spiral of obsession, manipulation, and deadly drills where the price for perfection might just be his soul. The film promises a tense, twisted look at toxic mentorship, worship of ego, and how chasing GOAT status could be the scariest game of all.

And HIM isn’t the only nightmare on the horizon. Coming in 2026, Cold Storage —penned by Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp—throws us into a fungal apocalypse. Imagine a virus that doesn’t just kill you, but transforms you into a hardened, grotesque shell before bursting apart in a mess of spores. Joe Keery ( Stranger Things ), Georgina Campbell ( The Watchers ), Liam Neeson, and Sosie Bacon lead a race against time after a military containment breach turns an ordinary storage facility into ground zero for a global threat. It’s part sci-fi, part body horror, and all gross in the best possible way.
This October, YouTube film critic Chris Stuckmann makes his directorial debut with Shelby Oaks , a paranormal mystery about a woman searching for her sister twelve years after a ghost-hunting shoot went fatally wrong. Backed by Neon Films and horror heavyweight Mike Flanagan, the film blends psychological chills with found footage dread, promising to turn Stuckmann from critic to creator in style.
And before all that, on August 15th, Witchboard —a remake of the 1986 cult favorite—unlocks an ancient cursed Ouija board in New Orleans, letting loose a wave of vengeful spirits. Directed by Chuck Russell ( A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 ), the film dives into voodoo, possession, and a city steeped in supernatural danger. Once the board is opened, closing it might be impossible.
From sports gone satanic to fungi that fight back, from paranormal mysteries to cursed game boards, the horror calendar is packed. And if these trailers are any sign, the next year in scares is going to be wickedly good.
