While the teaser was already quite impressive, the full trailer for LAIKA and Focus Features’ animated horror comedy ParaNorman is off-the-wall incredible. Shared after the break, the hysterical new trailer is jam-packed with horror goodness that shows obvious love for the genre (you can tell directors Sam Fell and Chris Butler are huge Evil Dead fans). IMO the creepiest portion of the footage is when Norman realizes that his deceased Grandmother is watching him in his room (at all times). He’s a growing boy, he needs his privacy (commencing grossed out skin crawl).

In ParaNorman, “a small town comes under siege by zombies. Who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee), who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he’ll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst of all, moronic grown-ups, to save his town from a centuries-old curse. But this young ghoul whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits.” READ MORE
