Update The Thrill of October: Regal's 31 Screams on Screen As the leaves begin to turn and the air cools, October is not just a time for pumpkin spice lattes and fall festivals—it’s the perfect month for horror fans to revel in cinematic thrills. Regal Cinemas recognizes this seasonal shift with its exciting 2026 ‘31 Screams on Screen’ series, bringing a staggering collection of 33 horror films back to the big screen every day throughout October, from spine-tingling classics to modern masterpieces. A Packed Schedule Packed with Classic Thrills From the unsettling brilliance of The Shining (1980) to the chilling narratives in Trick ’r Treat (2007), Regal’s lineup is nostalgic yet fresh. Every day features a distinct selection, starting with The Blackcoat’s Daughter on October 1 and culminating with Trick ’r Treat on Halloween night.
