With each year, horror movies<\/a> have become increasingly popular<\/a> among moviegoers, and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles plans to recognize it with a new museum exhibit.<\/p>\n

The immersive \u201cHorror Show<\/a>\u201d presentation will chronicle the genre\u2019s \u201cenormous cultural impact and enduring legacy\u201d with a focus on its tropes, themes, and resonance. From a starting point dubbed \u201cThe Hallway,\u201d visitors can explore six different hubs modeled after the most well-known sub-genres: Religion, Science, Slasher, Ghosts, Gothic, and Psychological. Each hub will highlight specific films\u2014like\u00a0Get Out<\/a>, Ju-On, 1931\u2019s Dracula, and the original Alien<\/a>\u2014and offer behind-the-scenes insight at their production and storytelling. Finally, there\u2019ll be a catalog and public programming that includes film screenings, gallery talks, and even educational tours that\u2019ll get more information at a later date.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout film history, horror has thrilled and moved audiences, acting as a powerful outlet for expression and a tool for social commentary,\u201d said the Academy\u2019s senior exhibitions curator Jessica Niebel. \u201cThrough these stories, people have found catharsis and community among fellow horror fans around the world. I can\u2019t wait for everyone\u2014from horror enthusiasts to the horror-curious\u2014to see\u00a0The Horror Show.\u201d<\/p>\n

If all this sounds good to you, there\u2019s a catch: The Horror Show<\/a>\u00a0won\u2019t actually start until September 20, 2026, and it\u2019ll run through July 25, 2027. At time of writing, you can\u2019t buy tickets that far ahead, but you can at least plan things out if you\u2019re not local to LA.<\/p>\n
