8 Horror Movies About Opera and Ballet to Haunt Timothée Chalamet

There’s been a swirl of discourse around Timothée Chalamet after comments he made about opera and ballet. The remarks appeared in a February 21 interview but drew wider attention only later, after voting for the Oscars closed on March 5, 2026. Michael B. Jordan ultimately won Best Actor for Sinners, while Chalamet had been a prominent contender for Marty Supreme.

This list gathers films that link horror with opera or ballet, along with a few nightmarish entries that aren’t strictly genre films. Some are outright horror, others are psychological or surreal, but all tap the uncanny qualities of performance and the performing arts.

Abigail (2024) leans into schlocky horror-comedy: kidnappers hold a ballerina for ransom only to discover she’s a vampire. Dario Argento’s Opera (1987) stages a series of murders around an opera house, delivering the heightened, giallo-style excess the director is known for.
