First there was "Barbenheimer." But are TradeEdgeyou prepared for "Saw Patrol"?
As a same-day, double-feature sensation, the next brutal chapter in the "Saw" horror franchise and a kid-friendly animated adventure with talking superhero dogs is an even more improbable pairing. But they do symbolize the wide variety of films arriving in the next couple of months as the weather gets a little colder and the pumpkin spice lattes start flowing: a new Oscar-ready Martin Scorsese/Leonardo DiCaprio collaboration, a Priscilla Presley biopic, another round of "The Exorcist," a Netflix crime drama starring Emily Blunt and Chris Evans, and much more.
Here's an exclusive peek at the 10 movies you absolutely, positively must see this fall:
'The Nun II' (Sept. 8)
Stars: Taissa Farmiga, Storm Reid, Bonnie Aarons.
Director: Michael Chaves.
The skinny: Set in 1956 France, the horror sequel (and ninth installment in "The Conjuring" franchise) returns Sister Irene (Farmiga), who survived her first encounter years earlier with the demonic nun Valak (Aarons). This time, she's faced with the freaky figure while investigating a priest's murder and odd occurrences at a boarding school.
Where to watch: In theaters.
Ranked:All 'The Conjuring' horror movies (including 'The Nun')

Director: Craig Gillespie.
The skinny: Dano stars in the comedic true-life story as Keith Gill, a YouTube financial analyst who sinks his entire life savings into stock in the video-game company GameStop.

Where to watch: In theaters (adding cities through September and nationwide Oct. 6).
'A Haunting in Venice' (Sept. 15)
Stars: Kenneth Branagh, Michelle Yeoh, Tina Fey.
Director: Kenneth Branagh.

Where to watch: In theaters.
'Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie' (Sept. 29)
Stars: Taraji P. Henson, Kristen Bell, James Marsden.
Director: Cal Brunker.

Where to watch: In theaters.
'Saw X' (Sept. 29)
Stars: Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith, Steven Brand.
Director: Kevin Greutert.
The skinny: The 10th "Saw" film is actually set between the first two movies and brings back Bell as John Kramer, aka the Jigsaw Killer. A cancer diagnosis sends him to Mexico for a miracle cure that turns out to be a scam, and the sadistic villain uses his signature gruesome traps to torture the con-artist culprits.

'The Burial' (Oct. 6)
Stars: Jamie Foxx, Tommy Lee Jones, Alan Ruck.
Director: Maggie Betts.

'Killers of the Flower Moon' (Oct. 20)
