My Picks: New Horror Movies I Plan to See
I haven’t seen Victorian Psycho, Clayface, Ice Cream Man or Other Mommy yet, and they’re the new horror movies I plan to see.

Clayface
From what I can tell, the practical effects look pretty good.
Ice Cream Man
Eli Roth directed it, and Shudder adds it November 20.
Other Mommy
It opened in theaters October 9 and comes home on digital November 10.
