As those of you genre fans who diligently track the new offerings on Netflix's streaming service know, the site can go for several days with nary a new horror addition, while at other times, it might drop a dozen or more fright flicks in a single day. Luckily, this is one of those busy times. Here are some highlights of the outstanding selection of new horror movies Netflix is streaming, with the company's official synopses.

Leprechaun Reboot Gets a Star, Title and Release Date

It sounds like an April Fools’ Day prank, but alas, the previously reported reboot of Leprechaun is moving full speed ahead with the titular character now set to be played (as was speculated, at least partially in jest) by diminutive World Wrestling Entertainment personality Hornswoggle. Hopefully, the star will don a significant amount of makeup to “evil himself up” a bit — as Warwick Davis did in the previous six Leprechaun films — and won’t attempt to strike fear in viewers looking as he does in the photo to the right.

Human Centipede 3 Star Drops Out?

A few weeks ago, it was reported that the villains from the first two Human Centipede movies — Part 1‘s Josef Heiter (Dieter Laser) and Part 2‘s Martin Lomax (Laurence R. Harvey) – would return for Human Centipede 3. Now, that plan has hit a snag, as Laser has apparently dropped out due to creative differences with director Tom Six, stating he “couldn’t identify with the character the way it was written.”

First Look at Jennifer Lawrence’s Hunger Games Follow-Up House at the End of the Street

Hungry for more of Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence? The rapidly rising star will hit theaters later this year in the thriller House at the End of the Street as a teen who moves with her mother (Elisabeth Shue) next door to a house where a double murder occurred and befriends the sole survivor (My Soul to Take‘s Max Thieriot). The first trailer inventively shows the events in the film in reverse order, but otherwise the plot seems fairly generic on the surface. Let’s hope, though, that there’s more to it than meets the eye. Ever since her Oscar nomination for Winter’s Bone, Lawrence hasn’t had to settle for ho-hum fare, so I’m cautiously optimistic that House at the End of the Street won’t be the next Dream House. We’ll find out when it opens on September 21.

Chloe Moretz to Star in Carrie Remake?

Like it or not, the previously announced Carrie remake is proceeding full speed ahead. But those of you bemoaning yet another horror remake/reboot/redux might have your anger tempered by news that rising star Chloe Moretz has reportedly been offered the lead role.
