Watch: Lily James Talks "Downton Abbey" Movie

Grab your popcorn (or sneak in a snack) because it's time to head to the movies!

September ushers in pumpkin patches and chunky sweaters as the start of fall, but it also brings some of the most anticipated films of the year. So round up your friends or treat yourself to a solo theater trip for this month's releases!

There really is something for everyone, from horrifying haunts as we head into spooky season to animated adventures perfect for an after-school family activity. 

Some of the month's most exciting flicks bring us back to familiar places, such as the Edwardian-era setting of Downton Abbey or back into Stephen King's twisted mind for IT: Chapter Two. Whether or not you're down to clown (sorry), we're pretty sure the likely box-office smash will result in another round of Pennywise costumes come this Halloween, so you may as well see the film to prepare.
