He's a busy bee, Osgood Perkins. Not only did he unleash The Monkey on audiences this year, but he also has a creepy cabin movie, Keeper, heading to theaters just near the tail end of spooky season. 2026 looks to be filling up as well, as more details tumble out regarding his next horror film, which may have had its title confirmed.

According to World of Reel, Perkins' next project is entitled The Young People and will be a coming-of-age film, only with, of course, the director's signature scare factor. Sources tell the site that the film will focus on a girl named Sue who befriends a new pal at school named Kitty. Things seem peachy to begin with, until Kitty starts acting out of the ordinary, "troubling red flags" begin to emerge.
