Last year, we reported on a horror movie exhibition<\/a> at the Oscars Museum fittingly dubbed \u201cthe Horror Show<\/a>.\u201d With months before launch, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures<\/a> has pulled back the curtain on what to expect.<\/p>\n

For those hoping to see some scary movies during this time, there\u2019ll be a screening of Carrie\u00a0on November 19 to celebrate its 50th birthday that month. Sissy Spacek, who played Carrie in the film, will attend. Other public screenings include\u00a0The Craft\u00a0on Halloween night, the US premiere of\u00a01958\u2019s\u00a0Horror of Dracula\u00a0in 4K during the 2026 Monster Mash on October 24, and John Carpenter\u2019s Prince of Darkness\u00a0on September 26.<\/p>\n

The Horror Show is split into six themed hubs based on the major subgenres Science, Religion, Ghost, Slasher, Psychological, and Gothic. Each subgenre is represented by classics like Blade and The Thing, plus more recent fare like Sinners and the Terrifier movies. Chambers also house original props, costumes, and production materials from iconic films, plus interactive displays delving into the horror genre\u2019s appeal with audiences.<\/p>\n

To further sell how legit this is, the Academy Museum revealed the exhibit\u2019s advisory board include\u00a0Longlegs\u00a0director Osgood Perkins, Robert Eggers mainstay Willem Dafoe, author\/filmmaker Tananarive Due<\/a>, prosthetic makeup artist Howard Berger (The Vampire Lestat), and film scholar Angela Marie Smith. In a statement, Perkins called horror \u201ccrucial to culture, cinema, and our evolving understanding of what it means to be alive on earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

If any of this sounds appealing, the Horror Show goes live September 26 and runs until July 25, 2027 in the Marilyn and Jeffrey Katzenberg Gallery.\u00a0For those looking to introduce their kids to the genre, the adjacent Warner Bros. Gallery will have an interactive family-friendly exhibit called \u201cZombies!\u201d that explores \u201chow movie zombies are created and where their stories come from.\u201d<\/p>\n
