With masterful storytelling and spine-tingling suspense, Paco Plaza transformed a real-life paranormal incident into a cinematic nightmare, with Veronica in 2017. Despite almost a decade having passed, the movie is yet to be forgotten by horror fanatics and still unmistakably finds a spot on the top most disturbing movies of all time. But to ensure that this year’s spooky season did not pass by without giving its viewers the scare of their lives, Netflix has been cooking up something with the director.

The OTT Mogul had tapped Paco Plaza early on to curate another horror masterpiece. And as Plaza digs into his splendidly horrifying movie to bring forth his Netflix project, the streamer has given fans a date to anticipate in the upcoming month.

Netflix and Paco Plaza Unveil Release Date for Veronica Sequel

Just a year before the horror world found its next obsession in The Nun in 2018, Paco Plaza gave the world something even more horrifying. It follows the story of a teenage girl named Veronica who conducts a seance with her friends using an Ouija board during a solar eclipse which ultimately unfolds into a paranormal possession. The prequel of which, Sinister Death, as revealed by Netflix, will be released on the 27th of October.

In the first movie, Veronica puts everyone she loves into lethal danger because of a silly game. It follows a terrifying battle between the living and the dead, which earned over $6 million globally at the theaters. However, the prequel which will be releasing on Netflix, titled Sister Death, is diving into the origins of the first movie. Perhaps the root of the sinister souls that made Veronica’s life a living hell.

Netflix is welcoming the movie at a time when the theaters are up and roaring with the second instalment of The Nun franchise. However, the streamer has made sure it does not get the shorter end of the stick this Hollywood season.

As The Nun II completes its box office run, Netflix plays its horror cards right

Given the ongoing SAG AFTRA strike, Netflix has been met with plenty of delays and outright rejection in recent months. However, the streamer has been preparing for a blockbuster Halloween season way before that. This becomes clear as it announces one exciting horror project after another. While its Paco Plaza directorial may be the most anticipated yet, the streamer has also brought another promising director.

This Halloween season, the streamer is once again bringing back Mike Flanagan. Flanagan has long been Netflix’s go-to director for horror projects. The director has been the mastermind behind most of the streamer’s successful horror shows such as The Haunting and The Haunting of Bly Manor and will also be bringing horror to Netflix with a new project.
