From dark encounters to twisted killers, the best horror movies coming this November are bound to keep us on edge. Let’s take a look at the most intriguing horror titles haunting our screens this month.
Coming In Theaters
Cellar Door
Release Date: November 1
In Cellar Door, a couple, reeling from the emotional trauma of a miscarriage, is offered the house of their dreams by a mysterious benefactor (played by Laurence Fishburne). There’s one simple rule: they can never open the cellar door. However, as curiosity takes hold and tensions rise, the dark secrets of the house slowly unravel, leading to shocking consequences. This psychological thriller, directed by Vaughn Stein, promises a gripping narrative of suspense and dread.
Black Cab
Release Date: November 8
Black Cab follows a couple who are unwittingly lured onto a haunted road by their seemingly jovial cab driver.

Heretic – Directed by Scott Beck And Bryan Woods
Release Date: November 15
Faith? Or fear? Heretic throws both onto a collision course. This isn’t your typical haunted house movie. It’s more psychological, more personal. Two young missionaries, full of righteousness and resolve, knock on the wrong door and meet Mr. Reed—a man who doesn’t just challenge their beliefs, he flips them inside out. With Beck and Woods (of A Quiet Place fame) behind the camera, expect tension that grips you by the throat. It’s a story that doesn’t just rely on blood and guts; it plays with your mind, making you question who, or what, to trust.
