Popcorn Frights runs August 6–16 in Fort Lauderdale, and with 116 films on the docket, you’re not seeing all of it, so we did some sorting. From studio pickups already on the calendar to the festival-circuit buzz titles nobody’s talking about yet, to the ones they are all talking about.
When You Open the Door premiered at Fantasia International Film Festival 2026. Katagiri’s debut is a hushed, wintery fairy tale about a woman drawn toward something ancient and wolfish. Told through shadow, silence, and a Little Red Riding Hood echo that.
Sleep No More is a strange, unsettling factory horror film where a hair monster possesses the sleep-deprived. Director Edwin’s Fantasia Fest 2026 entry uses genre to explore burnout and generational debt.
Portuguese horror-comedy about a possessed toilet, severe constipation, and a family in crisis. Won Fantasia’s jury prize. Graphic and unforgettable.
