Trailer released for horror comedy Scared To Death

A trailer has been released for horror comedy Scared To Death, ahead of its release on 13 March 2026.

In “Scared to Death,” a group of filmmakers attend a séance at an abandoned children’s orphanage to do research for a horror movie. Soon, supernatural events begin to manifest, in both horrific and darkly comical fashion. That’s their first mistake.

Written and directed by Scottish filmmaker Paul Boyd (“I, Challenger,” “We Are Gathered Here Today”), it stars genre legends Lin Shaye (the Insidious franchise) and Bill Moseley (“The Devil’s Rejects,” “Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2”), as well as Olivier Paris (“The Wrong Tutor”), Victoria Konefal (“Days of Our Lives”), B.J. Minor (“Grey’s Anatomy”), Jade Chynoweth (The Last Ship), legendary actress Rae Dawn Chong (“The Color Purple”), Lucinda Jenney (“Practical Magic”), and introducing rock and roll frontman Kurt Deimer as thescene-stealer The Grog.

Atlas Distribution Company will release the film in cinemas across North America on Friday, March 13th, 2026 in major markets including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento, Austin, San Diego, Houston, San Antonio, Miami, Tampa, Boston, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, Nashville, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Cleveland, and many more.

“To be honest, I never thought about shooting a horror film specifically,” producer Eric Barrett says. “I’m drawn to excellent storytelling, no matter the genre. What I like about this film is that it does cross into comedy, which is a fine line with horror.”

“Scared to Death delivers the kind of spine-tingling experience horror fans crave, while offering a fresh take on the haunted-house genre,” said Harmon Kaslow, President of Atlas Distribution Company. “With icons like Lin Shaye and Bill Moseley leading the cast, audiences are in for a terrifying and unforgettable ride.”
