Dead Silence, Ready or Not and all the horror coming to Tubi in September

Tubi is becoming less of a secret amongst horror/thriller fans. Let’s face it, with the cost of EVERYTHING going up, there is something to be said about a streaming platform that doesn’t charge a monthly subscription fee, right? And with Tubi, the movies are not cut for time or content. Sure, you have to watch ads, but that’s a small price to pay.

Plus, Tubi has a vast library of films in every genre, and is quite well known for their amount of horror content. Like most streaming platforms, Tubi adds and subtracts from their collection of films every month, and we are here to tell you about the thrillers and horror films coming up in September.

Let’s start with a couple of Tubi Originals, one of which is a documentary.

Ms. Murder (Sept. 11) – This documentary looks at three different stories concerning women who find their lives turned upside down by “questionable deaths.”

No Voltees (Sept. 20) – This original film concerns siblings who come to the house they grew up in, only to find that the presence of their violent father still haunts the place.

 Here are the other horror and thriller films coming to Tubi in September:

Annabelle Comes Home – A sequel to Annabelle and Annabelle: Creation, Annabelle Comes Home brings back Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga). When they rescue nurses Debbie and Camilla from Annabelle, the Warrens lock the doll up in a case in their home. But that’s not enough to keep her contained.

Dead Silence – In this underrated horror film, Jamie and his wife Lisa receive Billy, a ventriloquist doll as an anonymous gift. When Lisa is mysteriously murdered, Jamie digs into Billy’s past, and discovers the creepy story of Mary Shaw.

Halloween (’18) – Jamie Leigh Curtis returns to her iconic role of Laurie Strode in this direct sequel to 1978’s Halloween. Now an adult, Laurie is still traumatized by her encounter with Michael Myers, and copes by drinking heavily and super-fortifying her home. But when Michael escapes, will that be enough to save Laurie, her daughter and grand-daughter?

Hide And Seek – Robert De Niro is David, a psychologist with a daughter named Emily (Dakota Fanning) in this chilling psychological thriller. Emily has an imaginary friend named Charlie who has a bit of a psychotic streak. Is Emily actually committing the murders that ensue, or is there a darker truth?

House On Haunted Hill – This is the remake of the 1959 original House On Haunted Hill, and it’s a late 90s blast! Steven and Evelyn Price are unhappily married when he throws her a birthday party at the abandoned Vanacutt Psychiatric Hospital. Five guests show up, and Price offers them $1 million each if they can stay in the building until the next morning. Soon, the guests start dropping like flies as we are treated to some pretty cool special effects and gore.

Jennifer’s Body – Needy (Amanda Seyfried) is a rather meek and mild teen, but her best friend Jennifer (Megan Fox) is popular, beautiful and wild. After the two are nearly killed in a bar fire, Jennifer begins to change…REALLY change. For example, she kills and eats the football captain. Can Needy bring herself to actually kill her deranged best friend?

Ma – A group of high school besties are befriended by “Ma” (Octavia Spencer), an adult who buys them alcohol, and allows them to drink and party in her basement. When Ma starts to become clingy, demanding they spend more time with her, the group starts to pull away. But Ma ain’t having it.

My Soul To Take – On the anniversary of a serial killer’s death, seven teens who were born on that day meet to “kill” a puppet version of the killer, known as the Riverton Ripper. The theory is that killing the puppet will prevent the Ripper from returning.

Prom Night – I don’t know which version of Prom Night will be coming to Tubi, but either way, high schoolers are being slaughtered on the night of the senior prom.

Ready Or Not – Grace (Samara Weaving) is a young woman who marries into a wealthy family. The family owns a successful company that makes board games, and they have a peculiar ritual. When one of their members marries, they must each choose a game card from a box, and agree to play that game. Grace pulls the “Hide and Seek” card, but unbeknownst to her, if she is found before dawn, she will be killed. This movie is fantastic, and Weaving, running around in sneakers and a ripped up wedding gown, kicks major butt.

Silent Hill – Based on the popular video game, this 2006 film stars Radha Mitchell as Rose. When her adopted daughter Sharon sleepwalks and has nightmares about a town called Silent Hill, Rose springs into action. She takes Sharon to Silent Hill, a mining town that was abandoned due to a coal seam fire.

Slither – Yucky tentacled parasites brought to earth by a meteorite invade a small town in South Carolina. Nathan Fillion plays the town Police Chief, and Elizabeth Banks is the wife of a wealthy business man (the first victim of the parasites).

The Blob – Yup, it’s yet another film about aliens crashing to earth in a meteor. I’m not sure if this is the 1958 original, or the 1988 remake, but either way, an extraterrestrial blob of goo starts to absorb the local residents, causing it to get bigger and bigger.

The Frighteners – Peter Jackson co-wrote and directed this 1996 film, which stars Michael J. Fox, John Astin, Dee Wallace and Jeffrey Combs. Fox is Frank, who has discovered that he can communicate with ghosts after his wife is murdered. This is a fun horror-comedy.

The Last House On The Left – Once again, it’s not clear whether this is the 1972 original, or the 2009 remake. Either way, expect some uncomfortable gore, violence and sexual assault, though. Teenager Mari and her friend are abducted and assaulted by a trio of criminals. When the killers show up at Mari’s parents’ home, they are in for a brutal surprise.

Underwater – “A crew of underwater researchers must scramble to safety after an earthquake devastates their subterranean laboratory.”

Village Of the Damned – There are two versions of this film; one was released in 1960 (and I recommend watching it), and the remake came out in 1995. Based on the novel The Midwich Cuckoos, it’s the story of a small village in which all of the residents suddenly become unconscious. Several hours later, they all come to, and two months afterwards, all of the women and girls who are of child-bearing age are found to be pregnant. The resulting children are odd, to say the least, and they maintain a telepathic communication with one another.

Curve – In this horror/thriller, Mallory’s car breaks down, and she offers a ride to the man who helps her get the car started. It’s a decision she regrets when he pulls a knife on her, but she crashes the car in hopes of injuring or killing him. When she comes to, she is trapped in her upside-down vehicle, and the man leaves her there. Mallory must struggle to survive, as the man returns to torment her.

Fear – Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon star in this thriller. Wahlberg is bad boy David, who charms his way into Nicole’s (Witherspoon) good graces. Nicole’s father (William Petersen) distrusts David, which only makes her cling more tightly. But, soon, David’s obsessive attachment to Nicole begins to frighten her, and he goes off the proverbial deep end.

Knock Knock – Keanu Reeves is Evan, a happily married man who answers the front door one rainy night when his wife is away. At the door are two attractive young women claiming to be looking for a party they were invited too. He invites them in to dry off, and calls them an Uber, but one thing leads to another, and they end up in a threesome. Evan then finds out that these women are up to something sinister.

Vacancy – An unhappily married couple (Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale) whose car has broken down end up staying at a roadside motel. Once they are in their room, they discover that the motel manager is fond of making snuff films and has outfitted their room with several cameras. They try to escape, but end up seeking refuge back in the room as the situation becomes more dire.
