If you’re seeing Halloween this weekend, and we assume that’s literally all of you guys, you may want to arrive early to your local theater. We’ve learned today that Blumhouse will be debuting the trailer for the freshly titled Happy Death Day 2U before Halloween, and from what we gather, it may not actually be coming online until a later date.

Blumhouse did a similar thing with Unfriended: Dark Web earlier this year, debuting the trailer in theaters and then holding off a few weeks before dropping it online.

Jessica Rothe will be returning as main character Tree Gelbman, while Israel Broussard will also be back as Carter Davis, Tree’s boyfriend. Ruby Modine reprises her role as Lori Spengler with Suraj Sharma (Life of Pi) and Sarah Yarkin (“American Horror Story”) also starring.

Rothe detailed sequel plans earlier this year…

“The sequel, the way he described it to me, elevates the movie from being a horror movie – and I wouldn’t even say it’s just a horror movie because it’s a horror, comedy, rom-com drama – into a Back to the Future type of genre film where the sequel joins us right from where we left off, it explains a lot of things in the first one that didn’t get explained, and it elevates everything,” Rothe told Collider.

Christopher Landon returns to direct Happy Death Day 2U, arriving February 14, 2019.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
