Boo! The Haunted House Next Door (2026)
Starring: Melissa McCarthy • Jamie Lee Curtis • Paul Rudd • Octavia Spencer
A Supernatural Showdown With a Suburban Twist
In 2026, Boo! The Haunted House Next Door brings a lively blend of supernatural chaos and neighborhood comedy to the big screen, uniting an all-star cast for a ghost story that is equal parts spooky and sharply funny. Set in an otherwise picture-perfect suburban cul-de-sac, the film turns the familiar comforts of community life into the backdrop for an escalating paranormal mystery.
Melissa McCarthy leads the story as an outspoken homeowner who prides herself on knowing everything that happens on her street. When a long-vacant house next door is suddenly sold under suspicious circumstances, she becomes convinced something isn’t right. Strange lights flicker at midnight. Furniture moves on its own. And the “new owners” are rarely seen in daylight.
Jamie Lee Curtis steps in as a retired history professor with a fascination for local legends, quickly uncovering that the property sits on land tied to an unresolved tragedy decades old. Paul Rudd brings his trademark charm as a well-meaning but skeptical neighbor who would rather blame faulty wiring than restless spirits. Octavia Spencer anchors the group with intelligence and quiet determination, piecing together clues others overlook.
As unexplained events intensify — from ghostly whispers drifting across backyard fences to spectral figures appearing in upstairs windows — the neighborhood is forced into an unlikely alliance. What begins as suspicion spirals into a full-scale haunting that threatens more than property values. The mystery deepens when they discover that the house may not simply be haunted — it may be waiting.
Blending sharp comedic timing with genuine supernatural tension, Boo! The Haunted House Next Door explores themes of community, courage, and confronting the past. The humor never undercuts the stakes, and the scares arrive just when the audience thinks they’re safe.
At its heart, the film suggests that sometimes the scariest thing isn’t what lives next door — it’s what’s been buried beneath it all along.
