Poster Teases That the ‘Midsommar’ Festivities Begin This Summer
A24 continues to tease the sophomore effort of Hereditary director Ari Aster, the upcoming “Scandinavian folk horror” film Midsommar. The movie centers on a pagan cult, and with the previous short animated teasers playing up that element, so does the first ever poster. The festivities begin this summer – specifically on August 9, 2019.
As many other cryptic pieces of horror before it, this one-sheet hides the “all seeing eye” within what appears to be an interpretation of “squaring the circle”, although I’m no iconography expert. What do you see?
In the film, “Pugh and Reynor will play a couple that travels to Sweden to visit their friend’s rural hometown for its fabled mid-summer festival. What begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult.”
Aster’s new film stars Jack Reynor, Will Poulter and Florence Pugh with Vilhem Blomgren, William Jackson Harper, Ellora Torchia and Archie Madekwe.

Guillermo del Toro’s masterpiece Pan’s Labyrinth is headed back to theaters for the film’s 20th anniversary this Halloween season, and the official 20th anniversary trailer has arrived this morning.
Bloody Disgusting’s parent company Cineverse is teaming up with Fathom Entertainment for the Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth 20th Anniversary release, which is coming to theaters nationwide on October 9, 2026.

Each version for this re-release has been overseen by the patron saint of monsters himself, Guillermo del Toro.
Some stories never leave us.
The Academy Award-winning dark fantasy is set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War and follows a young girl, Ofelia, as she meets an ageless Faun who tells her she’s a princess and that she must prove her worthiness by completing three dangerous tasks.
Written and directed by Guillermo del Toro and produced by his company, Tequila Gang, the 2006 dark fantasy film stars Ivana Baquero, Maribel Verdu (Y tu mama tambien), Doug Jones (Hellboy II), and Sergi Lopez (Dirty Pretty Things).
