“You were discovered at the scene covered in blood.” Uh, whoa! Hello! A24 has revealed the actual official teaser trailer the horror movie Slayground, a Halloween-themed thriller from acclaimed genre filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier (of Blue Ruin, Green Room, Hold the Dark, Rebel Ridge). A completely different teaser than the one they first debuted a month ago. Written & directed by Saulnier, it was initially titled October, but since it won’t release this October they gave it a new title. Ready to hit theaters starting in late January as yet another new January horror to enjoy in early 2027. Starring Chase Sui Wonders, Sophie Wilde, Stephen Root, Imogen Poots, Matty Matheson, Young Mazino, with Macon Blair. This new trailer finally reveals more of the intriguing plot – something happened at this haunted house from the first teaser. Now there’s some people on the run. But it’s also all still so mysterious. What exactly is going on, who is on the run? Why? Is there any supernatural aspect of this story? Very fascinating & frightening horror teaser…
