A new trailer and poster have been released for an unnerving puppet horror film, Abruptio, which features the talents of three horror icons. This includes the late Sid Haig, who recorded his lies prior to his passing in 2019.

For those who are freaked out by puppets, look away. The latest trailer and poster for Abruptio, a horror film comprised of only puppets, was dropped by Screen Rant, and it promises to be one of the year’s most unique horror films. The film is written and directed by Evan Marlowe, and features an extraordinary cast voicing the puppets in the film. The cast includesJordan Peele (Keanu), Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street), James Marsters (Superman: Doomsday), Sid Haig (House of 1000 Corpses), Christopher McDonald (Happy Gilmore), and Rich Fulcher (Wonka). The film is produced by Kerry Marlowe, Thomas Zambeck, and Brian Katz.

RUMOR: Get Out Director Jordan Peele Met with Marvel for an Upcoming Film

Get Out director Jordan Peele might be bringing his unique vision to the MCU.

The completely unhinged trailer plays out like any conventional horror movie trailer would, except puppets are at the center of the unfolding mayhem. Accompanied by some classic horror-themed score, the trailer features some gory and gruesome moments, including puppet body part dismemberments. The official synopsis for the film reads, “Down-trodden Les Hackel wakes to find an explosive device has been implanted in his neck. He must carry out heinous crimes to stay alive while trying to identify the mastermind manipulating him.”

Peele’s Next Project Will Star Marlon Wayans

Peele has become one of the most prominent voices in the horror genre ever since his directorial debut, Get Out, became a cultural phenomenon back in 2017. In addition to the follow-up films he directed, Us and Nope, Peele has been remaining quite busy producing films under the banner Monkeypaw Productions, which he founded in 2012. Peele helped produce Dev Patel’s directorial debut Monkey Man, Candyman, HBO’s Lovecraft Country, and the innovative podcast drama Quiet Part Loud. His latest venture as a producer, will be for the upcoming horror thriller starring Marlon Wayans, titled Him.

Robert Englund a both Willie and Freddy Krueger

Robert Englund’s First Big Role Was the Perfect Opposite of Freddy Krueger

Before attaining horror immortality in A Nightmare on Elm Street, Robert Englund played the sweetest alien anyone ever met in the original V.

The film will be directed by Justin Tipping, and is written by Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie. In addition to Wayans, other notable cast members for the film include Julia Fox (Uncut Gems), Tim Heidecker (Tim and Eric’s Bedtime Stories), Tyriq Withers (Atlanta), and stand-up comedian Jim Jefferies. The film is slated for a Sept. 19, 2025 release. Peele hasn’t yet announced what his next directorial effort will be following Nope, as the writer’s strike halted any progress that Peele was making on the future project.

Abruptio will release in theaters on Sept. 27, 2024.
