Horror Trends 2025: What 10 Years of Data Reveal

Episode 8

Wednesday, August 20, 2025 • Duration 34:02

Introduction

Arthur and Meghan kick off with the observation that the horror genre has entered a mainstream upswing. More audiences are engaging with the horror genre, and horror movies of 2025 are shaping up to be especially strong.

The Horror Release Calendar

Analysis of 140 U.S. theatrical horror films (2015–2025).

Key findings:

October dominates releases, especially after the 13th (Friday the 13th effect).
July is the second-biggest month thanks to summer slashers and counter-programming against blockbusters.
January is a surprising third, while November and December are quieter

Pandemic and Streaming Shifts

COVID-19 disrupted production and theaters, but also reset distribution. Post-pandemic, studios spread horror releases more evenly across the year, with streaming accelerating access.

Indie Power & Breakout Directors

Discussion of how filmmakers like Jordan Peele, Robert Eggers, Ari Aster, Zach Cregger, and Mike Flanagan changed the landscape. Their originality, technical experimentation, and social themes helped push horror forward.

Box Office & Hype Cycles

From sleeper hits (Barbarian) to blockbusters (Weapons), horror is proving it can rival superhero films in ticket sales without billion-dollar budgets.

Legacy & Reboots

How filmmakers balance nostalgia with originality in franchises like Scream, Evil Dead, and Alien. Success requires respecting the past while innovating.

Indie & Fan-Made Horror

Streaming, festivals, and even YouTube opened doors for films like Talk to Me and fan projects like Don’t Hike Alone. These projects prove horror thrives in low-budget, grassroots spaces.

Gateway Horror & Youth Audience

Rising trend of YA and middle-grade horror: Fear Street, Goosebumps, Hell of a Summer, and the upcoming Sketch show studios are nurturing the next generation of horror fans. Check out our Horror Starter Pack episode if you are just getting into the horror genre.

Closing Thoughts

Studios are finally taking more risks on originality, and audiences are rewarding them. With horror covering everything from arthouse to popcorn slashers, the genre looks unstoppable.

BONUS: The Voice Behind Billy's Inner Demon: Mark Acheson on Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025)

Episode 43

Thursday, March 5, 2026 • Duration 29:35

In this bonus episode of Grave Tone Podcast, Meaghan and Arthur sit down with prolific character actor Mark Acheson for a wide-ranging conversation about craft, career, and Christmas horror.

Mark is probably best known as the unforgettable Mailroom Guy from Elf (2003), but his career spans four decades, three Emmys (via his role in Fargo), Zack Snyder's Watch, Chronicles of Riddick, Brand New Cherry Flavor, and so much more.

Most recently, he plays Charlie in Mike P. Nelson's Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) — a disembodied inner voice that guides slasher antihero Billy Chapman (Rohan Campbell) on a very specific kind of naughty list. Reviewers have compared the dynamic to Dexter meets Venom, and the performance earned Acheson standout notices from multiple critics.

From Page to Screen: This Is Not a Test — Did the Courtney Summers Adaptation Nail It?

Episode 42

Saturday, February 28, 2026 • Duration 44:42

We just got home from the theatre, and we're breaking down This Is Not a Test (2026), the new zombie horror film directed by Adam McDonald and based on the beloved Courtney Summers YA novel. Meaghan read the book (and the bonus sequel novella, Please Remain Calm). Arthur has a giant zombie-kill knife on his nightstand. We are, arguably, the ideal people to review this.

This Is Not a Test just hit theatres, and we are fresh out of our seats. Based on the beloved 2012 YA novel by Canadian author Courtney Summers — rereleased in January 2026 with the sequel novella Please Remain Calm — this new zombie film is directed by Adam McDonald and stars Olivia Holt (Heart Eyes), Froy Gutierrez, Corteon Moore, Carson MacCormac, and Chloe Avakian.
